Primus Lite XL Stove System II 1000ml Gasbrander

The Primus Lite XL Stove System II 1000ml Gas Burner has been designed for users who want to do more than just boil water. This lightweight all-in-one cooking system combines speed, efficiency and extra capacity in a single compact unit. Ideal for milsim events, bushcraft trips and multi-day outdoor missions where you rely on reliable gear and sufficient cooking capacity for proper meals.

When and how to use this system

During longer outdoor sessions, such as milsim weekends or trekking trips, you’ll soon find that standard compact stoves fall short in terms of capacity. With this system’s 1000ml capacity, you can prepare not only water for freeze-dried meals, but also full meals or multiple portions at once.

In practice, this burner is widely used for:

• multi-day military simulation events where you have to be self-sufficient
• bushcraft situations where you need to use fuel efficiently
• trekking or backpacking where weight and functionality are key
• situations where you want to cook quickly without the hassle of separate parts

Thanks to the built-in piezo ignition, you can light it straight away, without needing matches or a lighter, which is a real advantage, especially in wet or windy conditions.

Materials and technology: built for efficiency and stability

The Lite XL Stove System II features an integrated design in which the burner and pan fit together perfectly. The pan is made from hard-anodised aluminium, which ensures excellent heat conduction and high durability without adding extra weight.

Laminar Flow Burner technology lowers the burner’s centre of gravity, resulting in exceptional stability, even on uneven ground. This is a crucial advantage during outdoor use, where flat surfaces are not always guaranteed.

The integrated heat exchanger in the pan significantly boosts efficiency, meaning you use less gas and can cook for longer on a single cartridge. Combined with a power output of 1500W, you can bring 0.5 litres of water to the boil in under 3 minutes.

The insulating cover, made from cork and polycotton ripstop, ensures you can handle the pan safely, whilst the removable handle and clever storage system keep the whole thing compact and easy to transport.

Practical experience: what do you notice when using it?

In practice, we’ve found that this system really comes into its own during longer outdoor sessions. Many users find that smaller burners need to be lit several times to cook a single meal, which wastes time and fuel.

With the Lite XL, you don’t have that limitation. Especially in cold weather or when you want a quick meal between missions, you’ll find that the fast cooking time and larger capacity make a huge difference.

Stability is another major advantage. On uneven forest ground or rocky terrain, the system remains surprisingly sturdy, particularly when used with the included cartridge base.

This burner really comes into its own, particularly for groups of two or three people.

Who it is / isn't suitable for

This cooking system is ideal for:

• milsim players who operate in the field for extended periods

• ultralight solo hikers who prioritise minimal pack size above all else
