Any experience with Primus pots?

Most of the stuff in the LiTech line isn't truly titanium. It's hard anodized aluminum with a titanium coating. That said, I use hard anodize aluminum all the time and find it plenty durable. I own titanium pots as well, but sometimes the anodized aluminum stuff is lighter.

I was just about to chime in with the same. These are actually aluminium pots with a titanium coating.

I've got several of the Primus pots, and have been quite pleased with them. I first bought some because of the very low prices on a set at Sierra Trading Post. I figured they would be worth the try. Note that the LiTech Titanium cook pots are actually anodized aluminum with a so-called Ti coating inside, and not all titanium. These pots surprised me when I tried cooking particularly difficult foods for thin pots like potatoes or eggs. They clean up amazingly easily. Food does not scorch to the bottom of the pan, there is even cooking, and very little oil needs to be used to prevent sticking. I am used to having to scrub a bit with some of my pots to get out the difficult foods, but a simple wipe with a little bit of paper towel usually does it for the Primus pots. These pots clean about as easily as the MSR Duralite pots, and pack readily. The lids or fry pan tops fit pretty snugly, so there is little excess steam lost if you want to boil food. The handles have durable insulating covers which I have not managed to deform or melt yet. When I first got the pots, I thought there must have been a manufacturing residue on the inside because they felt strange. I put them through the dishwasher to remove the "residue", and then realized that was the coating. The coating does feel a bit dfferent than other coatings: it is grainier, and has a bit of texture, but the bottom line is that it works really well. I've seen some of the Primus pots on deep discount sales several times since I first bought some. It is worth looking around for one of the sales because they are quite cheap. These pots weigh about the same as similar sized uncoated Ti pots, clean much easier, are quite sturdy, and are a good bit less expensive. I bought a set of them for what one Ti pot might have cost me.

The HAA stuff Primus is making is well designed – and holds up. I reviewed some of it for the BP article I did and also for my own reviews.

Primus isn't so well known in the US and it should be – affordable and well made without a lot of bells and whistles.

Primus is owned by Brunton now.

Thanks guys for all of the great info. I wasn't sure to begin with because the price seemed too good to be true, but I think I'm sold.
