Stove Systems Debut Patent Burner Head and Locking Mechanism

(Boulder, CO) July 31, 2013— In Spring 2014, stove manufacturer Primus expands its range of innovative outdoor cooking essentials with additions to its Cookware Collection and ‘Eta’ Series, derived from the Greek symbol for efficiency. The Eta Spider and Eta Lite round out the Eta collection with more options for mid-level and expedition range activities, offering consumers lightweight stoves fit for individual or two person use. Like their counterparts in the current Eta range, both stoves feature specially designed windshields and heat exchangers to amplify the power and effectiveness of cooking food quickly in any weather condition. The unique technological design of the Eta Lite and Eta Spider provide double the fuel-efficiency compared to other stoves on the market. Rounding out the Spring 2014 collection, Primus will add a premium, stainless steel Gourmet Pot Set to its cookware category. With 120 years of experience in the outdoor industry, Primus’ Spring 2014 collection will continue to meet the cooking needs of outdoor consumers at the basecamp, trail and expedition levels.
