I bought this Primus Pro 2252 a while ago, and thought I'd give it a try for heating tonight's soup. This stove is just bizarre. Way too heavy for backpacking, small fuel capacity (even though the canister is refillable), thick (heavy) pots and pan. The pot support posts also interlock the windscreen to the base. They are welded to a metal ring, so if they were to break off, the stove would be difficult to use as you would need to figure out how to support the pot. Overall it's just a funky, strange kit. It's fun to use though. Easy to light, puts out a easily controllable hot flame. I was surprised how fast it heated the soup. I thought for sure that the thickness of the pots would mean longer heating time, but I was very mistaken. Better pics will be posted in the gallery at a later date. Adapter for refilling the canister, canister, pot gripper. Canister and pot gripper storage during transport. Flame control knob and button for Piezo ignition. Hot soup in just a couple minutes.
I've got !/2 of one :-).no gas cart. no pan, no grabber. Even complete i probably wouldnt use it .. & certainly from a practical point of view wouldnt go looking for another. Primus'lost the plot ' with this one .. Figure the development/tooling costs for a totally new stove ,,,it shares little if any commonality of components with the (at tme) existing product range .it is stupidly heavy. a white elephant ?.. must have cost em fortunes and reputations just my view. https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/primus-pro-model-no-2252.25652/ https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/primus-pro-model-no-2252.25652/ c.c.s even i can 1/2 drive here . nick
I've been known to take my 2252 along on a hike and although I agree it's weighty, the storm cooker design does at least make the most of a butane burner heat source in chilly and windy conditions. https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/primus-2252-backpacked.25674/ I agree with Nick's assessment though that it didn't stack up (no pun intended) as a commercial proposition.
