(Note: This review is for the purchase made in January, 2021. I wrote this review over the one for OmniFuel uploaded 4 years ago, because a separate review was not made available.)I own all versions of OmniFuel since the first gen Omni with the flared burner housing. The Second gen comes with trimmed housing that holds the flame spreader with wire, the third gen that retains the flame spreader with a spring. The gen 4 Omni is titanium, and it has been in the market for a few years. Now it comes with the silent burner head. All are superb stoves. I stripped the gen 1 OmniFuel of its housing, and use the burner in Trangia Storm Cookers, 25 and 27. You can't beat this combo anywhere in the world.I was intreagued with the silent burner head, for my all other liquid, multi-fuel stoves (don't ask how many, I stopped counting long ago) have roarer heads. Omnilite Ti is compact, and I can see Primus Design Team really put their heads together to develop this one.I first connected OmniLite Ti to a four season canister, and it lit up without problem. A modest sized flame bloomed. Then I connected it to a fuel bottle to burn white gas. To my surprise, the flame did not shoot up, no matter how wide throttle was open. I suspected the jet was blocked somehow. I poked the jet with the wire jab included in the multitool a couple times, turned the valve on, and witnessed the fuel vapor shoot out. Replaced burner, and relit: a beautiful blue flame shot up, of course.I put on a 7 inch pot filled with about 1.3L of water (that's about half full of my pot) at 48F. It was breezy with occasional gusts. I could see the flame being pushed out from under the pot. The stop watch clocked 7.5 min. at rolling boil with the lid on. I guess it would have shortened the boil time significantly, if I was boiling only 1L in the windless condition.I did not change the default jet for white gas. The stove, however, functioned flawlessly with the default jet, .36mm (prime the burner really well). I suspect that, in below the freezing temp, I would probably have to install .32mm jet. Kerosene requires .25mm jet.Overall, I am quite happy with this setup. The silent burner treatment is a winner. One drawback is that it is susceptible to wind, so a windshield is needed. Roarer bucks wind better, although it is a little louder. Some folks report that at simmering flame, the silent burner underburns. At low flame output, the burner does get orange hot. This is the cause: the burner head is too hot for the gasified fuel, so that it combusts before it leaves the burner. I have not had underburns in the silent burner so far. It is not really a big deal: shut off and relight, and do not keep the flame too low--problem solved. You can hear the underburn, when it happens: it gets louder, and the whole burner head glows. Underburn heats the burner head, instead of the pot.I noticed that the seller's pricing of the OmniLite Ti with Silent Burner fluctuates from time to time, in the range of 170 to 225. Snag one when it is at the lowest. I sure did!

Lightweight, fully featured all fuel stove.

大きさ重さ使いやすさともOK。自分には理想のストーブでした。反転消火も有難い。

This stove is amazing. Very durable. Very portable. The design is extremely well thought out. If my life were going to depend on a stove working, I'd take this stove. I had another high end stove from a different company which eventually started leaking fuel from the fuel line. I replaced it with this stove and immediately noticed that the plastic parts that failed on my last stove were built with metal parts on this primus omnifuel stove. The burner jets are incotperated into the frame, it comes with an extremely durable carry sack with detailed instructions sewen into it, every stove is hand tested before it is sent out, and someone even fell on my tiny stove (when it was cold thankfully) with all of their weight coming directly on it and it only had a few slight bends in the feet which i quickly reshaped back to their original position and it was like new again. To top it off, on my last camping trip I ran out of primus white fuel while cooking dinner, and no backup canisters were with me. Everyone was relieved when I could finish cooking the meal with spare gasoline as fuel after a quick nozzle change on my stove. And it could have been kerosine, deisel, or even jet fuel that finished the job. The omnifuel is extremely versatile. If you like to be prepared for whatever comes your way, are heavily dependent on a reliable stove, or just want optimal engineering and confidence in your equipment, this should be your stove. I expext it to last a lifetime.
