    hi everyone

    I´ve been reading reviews on the primus express spider, and accidentally stumbled upon the primus express lander vf at

    http://www.amazon.com/Primus-Express-Lander-Lightweight-Compact/dp/B004T4QVZG


    but then I tried the primus site and didn´t find it.

    is it a discontinued model?

    I own a gravity MFII and i am very happy....this one looks like a much lighter stove.

    thanks and best regards

    Interesting. I wasn't aware of this stove. It looks like a Primus Express Spider converted to run on liquid fuel.

    It was on the primus website but was removed about the time primus was bought by Brunton. It did say on the description on the primus website that this stove could also burn kerosene, I guess is must be true but it does not look like any kero capable stove I can think of.

    I am sure the primus web site said, white spirits, unleaded and in a pinch kerosene. I don't think kerosene would really be an option though looking at the priming cup. It does not have a reg on the fuel line so I can't see it burning gas, unless an adaptor is supplied.

    The BTU's were low, similar to a 123 I think.

    I would like to get my mitts on one though, can't beat a good quiet stove!
