No matter what kind of adventure lies a head—whether you're fueling up for a summit push, cooking with friends around a campfire, or heating a quick meal on the trails—there’s a Primus stove that fits your needs. In this guide, we’ll help you figure out whether a camping stove, a backpacking stove or an expedition stove is right for you.

If food is how you connect with people, a camping stove is your best companion. These stoves bring the homecooking experience outdoors, with dual burners, wide cooking surfaces and smart features for group meals.

Camping or campfire stoves are ideal when cooking is a big part of the experience—whether you're grilling at the beach, making pancakes in the forest, or serving a three-course meal at your campsite. They're foldable and light enough to carry short distances, for example from the car to the campsite or down to the lake. 

When you're covering distance on foot, every gram counts. Our backpacking stoves (also called trekking stoves) are built to be lightweight, compact and fuel-efficient—giving you hot food and coffee without slowing you down. 

Whether you're on a solo hike, a multi-day run, or paddling to a remote island, these stoves keep your load light and your energy levels up. Some models are simple and minimal, while others include all-in-one pot systems with built-in wind protection for easy outdoor cooking. 

For high altitudes, harsh winds, extreme heat or sub-zero temperatures, you need a stove that performs without fail. Our expedition and multifuel stoves are made for remote, demanding adventures, where you need food to keep going and to stay alive. 

These stoves are robust, easy to maintain and compatible with multiple fuel types, including liquid fuels—ideal if you're traveling where gas isn't always available. However, they do require some practice to use efficiently, especially in harsh conditions. They’re designed for reliable performance even with thick gloves on, in snow, rain or heat.
