When every gram matters, the Primus Micron III delivers serious performance in a remarkably small package. Weighing just 58 grams, this foldable, top-mounted gas stove is built for 1–2 people who move fast and pack light—whether that’s a summit push, a bikepacking weekend, or a minimalist backcountry loop.
Unfold the pot supports, thread it onto a compatible gas canister, and you’re ready to cook. With 2600W of power, the Micron III can boil one liter of water in under four minutes. The narrow, high-speed flame is designed to perform reliably in windy conditions, while the oversized control valve allows you to fine-tune heat from a rapid boil to a controlled simmer. When it’s time to move, simply detach, fold it down to a compact 62 mm x 46 mm profile, and stow it in the included nylon bag.
Built from stainless steel and engineered in Sweden, this is one of the lightest and most packable backpacking stoves in its class—small enough to disappear into nearly any pocket, powerful enough to anchor your entire cook system
