All the components are recognizable: a burner with remote fuel canister attachment, a 2-liter pot and frying pan, and a circular aluminum windscreen.  But put those parts together and they add up to one of the fastest and most fuel-efficient cooking systems on the market.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.trailspace.com/news/2007/11/14/primus-etapower-ef.html"><P>The heat exchanger on the EtaPower pot is designed to effectively transfer heat from the burner to the pot, while the windscreen keeps the heat where it belongs. Coupled with a hotter burner than those found on the Jetboil stoves, the EtaPower achieves impressive boil times.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.trailspace.com/news/2007/11/14/primus-etapower-ef.html"><P>Primus appears to have found the sweet spot between boil time and fuel efficiency. The EtaPower EF is nearly as efficient as the Jetboil GCS, while boiling in about half the time. The EtaPower’s windscreen, while not perfect, allows it to work commendably in conditions that stymied the GCS.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A7576195-8616-40E2-8CAD-9FC669CE425D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
