About Primus

Swedish outdoor cooking brand Primus traces its origins all the way back to 1892, when F.W. Lundqvist and J.V. Svenson worked together to engineer the world’s first soot-free kerosene stove. Ever since, Primus has been a safe and reliable choice for outdoorsy folks in need of camping stoves and camp cookware.

Unleash your inner granola gourmand

Primus makes lasting gear to outfit you for a variety of outdoor cooking situations, whether you need a hefty dual-burner stove for car camping or a light, compact stove setup for lengthy excursions into the backcountry. Primus wants their hand-tested stoves to accompany you on a lifetime of outdoor adventures. Making products with a long lifespan is a great sustainability practice, and keeping this principle in mind is just one of many commitments Primus is making towards environmental awareness.

Optimal cooking

Primus stoves are all about optimizing energy usage and fuel efficiency, from the production stages to their time in your hands (or your pack). The production process on average accounts for only ten percent of your stove’s total energy consumption, so pick up some climate compensated, CO2-neutral fuel from Primus and enjoy your camping meals sustainably.
