A true trailblazer in the outdoor cooking world since 1892, Swedish camping experts Primus have a stellar reputation for crafting high-performance stoves and cookware – fuelling adventures across the world with every flame, as the brand likes to put it.
Boasting over a century of expertise in their chosen field, the brand has come a long way from its humble beginnings. It all started in a tiny blacksmith’s workshop in central Stockholm, where the world’s first soot-free kerosene stove was created.
Being the very first of its kind, it was named Primus – a fitting title that simply means “first”. Since then, over the decades, the brand has garnered an unrivalled reputation for reliability and innovation. So trusted are its products, Primus stoves were used on the first-ever summit of Mount Everest in 1953, for example.
These days, Primus products are designed to “seamlessly integrate into any outdoor setup”, with options tailored to everyone from athletes taking on ultra marathon expeditions to families on campsite holidays, and even festival-goers looking to “enhance their outdoor experience with high- quality cooking solutions”.
The brand’s design ethos is impressive, too. It’s all about maximising what you need and minimising what you don’t. This means Primus always prioritises power, performance, efficiency, ease of use, robustness, reliability and weather-resistance, while simultaneously minimising unnecessary functions, styling and parts, and keeping the weight and packed size as small as practically possible.

5 of the best: Outdoor cooking essentials from Primus
1. Express Spider Backpacking Stove - £70
The Express Spider is one of the lightest remote-canister stoves available and a perfect alternative to any canister-top stove. Despite its low weight, the Express Spider is durable and stable.
The pre-heating coil allows the stove to perform even at low temperatures and powers a 2,000W flame that can boil 1L of water in five minutes. The control knob offers finely tuned performance and is attached to the gas canister, thus limiting the chance of burns.
2. Essential Trek Pot Set - £59
The Essential Trek Pot Set is a convenient, easy-to-pack set made up of one 1L pot with a frying pan and one 0.6L pot. These ultralight pots easily fit into your backpack and are perfect for your backcountry cooking needs.
The pots are made of anodised aluminium and the slightly thicker bottom, compared to the sides of the pot, contributes to a more even distribution of heat across the pan. This minimises the risk of your food burning, which is never ideal when you’re out camping.
3. Klunken Vacuum Bottle 0.5L Black - £34
Billed as “a perfect way to carry your favourite beverage in your backpack”, this double-walled bottle keeps water ice cold and coffee steaming hot on your way to the office, university or the trail.
Made for your everyday needs, the stainless-steel Klunken is extra durable, can keep beverages hot or cold, and won't pick up or give off unexpected flavours. The cork top lid is attached to colour-matched webbing, making this sleek bottle easy to grab or carry on its own.
4. Trailbreak Lunch Jug Large Barn Red - £29
A great lunchbox for school, work or for your everyday adventures, the Primus Trailbreak Lunch Jug keeps ice cream cold and soups or stews steaming. This food grade 18/8 stainless steel vacuum jug is durable, can keep food hot or cold and won’t pick up or give off unwanted flavours.
The powder coating makes it easier to grip and hold onto when eating. A large opening makes it easy to fill, eat from and clean.
5. LiTech Coffee/Tea Kettle 0.9L - £24
Need that morning caffeine kick in style? The LiTech Kettle is an easy way to start your morning on the campsite with a hot beverage. Add this lightweight kettle to any camp kitchen and make your herbal tea, coffee or hot chocolate with perfect precision.
The durable hard-anodised aluminium kettle heats up water quickly and the narrow pour spout allows you to easily fill any cup, jug or mug. The folding handle pivots up when needed and folds out of the way when packed.
