The Primus TechnoTrail has a fast boil time and widely spaced pot supports that provide a stable platform for larger pots, making it a good two-person stove. It has an ergonomic flame control knob and our test sample included the optional piezoelectric igniter for easy starting. On the down side, it weighs almost twice as much (6.7 ounces, 190 grams) as the mini-canister stoves we tested, folds down into a bulkier package, and is on the high end for fuel consumption of the stoves in our review suite.
