Our Verdict

Remote gas cartridge stoves are not the lightest but they have their advantages very stable low profile means its easier to protect from the wind and the fuel adjustment is on the gas canister not the stove so its easy to adjust without riusking a burn.

The Primus Express Spider also has a pre-heat tube which improves stove performance in cold weather.
