| Jetboil Stash (left) and Primus Lite Ultra 0.8L |
The Jetboil Stash, launched several years ago, and the new Primus Lite Ultra 0.8L are, as far as I know, the two lightest gas canister stove systems by a long way. By stove system I mean a pot and stove designed to work together and only available as a unit. Usually the pot and stove lock together when in use though this isn't the case with the Stash, which is really only a system because you can't buy the components separately.
I made a little video comparing the two systems, including a boil and gas usage test. Conclusion: the Jetboil Stash is noisy, has little wind-resistance, boils water faster and is more fuel efficient, the Primus Lite Ultra is very quiet, has much better wind resistance, is slower boiling water and uses more fuel. This is just one boil test though. I may get different results next time!
Comparing the pots, both 800ml, I prefer the Stash simply because it's wider and easier to actually cook in and use as a bowl than the taller, narrower Lite Ultra.
