Comments: Primus Grasshopper Stove

Well, I found Primus' website:

http://www.primus.se/EN/

However, the grasshopper stove isn't there, even on their "discontinued" section. It looks like "spider" stoves are the new thing now. There is, however, an enthusiast's site here:

There's a forum and trading post, but you have to register to read them. It's a damn shame they don't make it anymore, simplicity needs to come back into style again.

The stoves they sell all use Primus(tm) fuel canisters -- which means they get profits from the continued use of the stoves. My stove uses the generic 14.1 oz propane cylinder that is sold in near any hardware store. Primus has not made a penny off my stove since it was sold.
