PRIMUS FIRESTICK STOVE REVIEW | WINDPROOF? SEE FOR YOURSELF 

Thanks! A very professional, competent and honest review.

Thanks for the honest review, Gijis. Like you, I have too many stoves! The ETA Power and ETA Express are still my favorites, so I’m not sure why I’m still watching stove reviews but I appreciate you taking the time to do this.

As always, a great review. And I like how your YT channel has grown this year. I am sure that you will get a lot of new subscribers if you continue with content like this.

Thank you for the review. I am looking for a lighter stove to replace my existing Primus cooking system. I makes sense to me because I already have a Primus pot, but it clearly doesn't make sense for the majority of people. Thank you so much for the review.

I've learned so much about what I should look at when buying a stove. Thanks!

It's beautiful design. That's it.

Thx for comprehensive review. Am almost buy it, but having 2nd thought after your honest review. Really helpful on my decision.

I always take my radius 42 or primus 71 vintage gasoline mini camp stoves...Foolproof and very reliable.

Works brilliantly with the now defunct Jetboil Sol Ti .

Great video Gijs! I already had my doubts on this item so thanks for helping me to get it clear. You have put a lot of afford in this video and it was a pleasure to watch it.

Thanks for your very good review which gives a realistic and critical view on stuff. Considering the slippy pot support due to the stupid construction mistake on the teeth, your rating is optimistic. For me it's the reason to return the device.

Hi Gijs, As always, a very well and considered review again. I’m not in the market for a new stove but I always liked the firestick. Your review gave me a different point of view. Thanks.

Very informational

An advantage of wool is that it's very heat tolerant, - the stove can be packed while being warm.

The Primus burner at 2:59, is a 'Primus Express Duo' stove. I have one myself in the "non duo" version with piezo. One of the best stoves Primus has made in a long time. Sadly they can't seem to get to mabe a decent piezo that holds up in the long run. Thank you for your video and review of the Firestick, btw.

Agreed! Thanks!

A classy leather tube with clever end closing would be nicer than that wool pouch of course. Otherwise it is a very refreshing stove design. Not like anything else out there! It even has some poetry in the way it opens up and look a little like a flower inside. Not bad. Who designed this?

I can only say that my experience of the Primus Firestick has been nothing but a positive and it contradicts all of your appraisal. Brilliant stove, windproof, simmer control excellent, the folding pan support clings to the base of my Soto river pot like poo to the proverbial blanket. As for the separate ignition stick, does anyone rely on piezoelectric, even if it's an integral part of some stoves? I've never been backpacking without a lighter in my pocket ever. I value your opinion but as I say, my experience of this stove is nothing but good.

If I buy this one does it still work after..say thirty years? Not so worried about wind. Lightweight is the way to go and in my opinion integrated ignitor is equally dead weight since lighter and matches will come with me anyways. Well is there better and cheaper? Sure but do I lose them in the woods? Do you think coffee would taste better with more expensive stove? I mean if you protect yourself from the wind and rain compared to the ones who expose themselves to the wind and prepare their coffee in the rain..with their CHEAP, broken, few grams lighter with dead weight, unbranded, twelfth stove?😊 Just challenging you. "My decision has been done". I will buy this as my first stove just to fit with my new Hilleberg. It will be used maybe ten times a year. Let's see if I need another one..

Thanks for being honest Gijs....I'll stick with my Soto Windmaster!

Good review (subs for that). For me what i really like about this product is a unique design and the concept about compatibility. And i think it still a rough design, hopefully PRIMUS develop firestickstove to have new and better model while also better funcionality (like MSR pocket rocket - MSR pocket rocket Deluxe). But still i'm buyung it just for collection.

Hi Gijs. Nice review again. Although always difficult to judge things 'from a distance' I tend to agree with you. You can buy the crux for less than half the money. Or for the same money you can buy the crux weekend cook system. I would choose the crux over this one.

Thank you!

Hi what about narrow cans ?

A simple Bic lighter seems much more reliable than the peizo. Great review! I'd be interested in seeing a comparison of all of your stoves.

I had the old Primus stove you've got for 9 years, it needed extra wind protection but otherwise worked really well. The Firestick is limited to bigger pots, there is no way it would support smaller GSI or Jetboil style pots.

Excellent review!

Very good review. A novel design without much benefit. Also, I don't trust any piezo igniter. Even the one built into my Primus Eta Lite is completely unreliable.

i thought it looked more appropriate for a well off person walking something like Pieterpad. Something like a jetboil mightymo seems the better deal.

Nice review ❤️ I from indonesia 👍

Hard to beat Scandi tech!

Nice Vid again... :)

That wind protection claim has been invented by Primus afterwards to justify that burner somehow to the potential buyers.

Please re-read my message. No complaints from me, do leprechauns drink the liquors?
