    I found this beauty on the Bay a few years ago and the price was too good to pass up. It's only burns canister fuel, and similar to the Trangia gas burner. Same burner/generator/fuel line arrangement.

    Thanks for posting that, HS. It's evidently Primus's last attempt at producing a storm cooker following their earlier Model 2252. Your 3244 looks like a worthy successor, with a 'regular' gas canister supply rather than those refillable canisters in the 2252.

    Although the 2252 used an inbuilt regulator and a large-bore jet nozzle to deal with cold conditions and vapour cooling of the gas in the canister - quite effectively - I see your stove uses a pre-heater loop to facilitate an inverted gas cartridge liquefied gas supply to do the same.
