It all started in a small blacksmith workshop in central Stockholm back in 1892, when F.W. Lindqvist and J.V. Svenson created the world’s first soot-free kerosene stove! As it was the first, they decided to call it Primus (meaning first).
We are delighted to announce 23 year old Scottish climber Uisdean Hawthorn as brand ambassador. He started climbing age 19 while doing his joinery apprenticeship and quickly developed into one of Scotland’s most active winter climbers.
Our Customer Service will gladly help you answer your questions about our outdoor stoves and camping equipment. We also sit on quite a few general tips and ideas of what to think about when in the outdoors.
Primus outdoor stoves have been used since 1892 and it's our goal to ensure that all stoves become reliable, life-long companions. Passion for the outdoors and technical expertise is the secret behind all of our innovations.
The kind of stove you need will depend on how you intend to use it and where you are going. Which is why we have three categories of stoves: Campfire, Trekking and Expedition
