It's normal to hear a hissing sound when attaching a gas canister to your stove. This occurs if the non-return valve opens before the O-ring is fully sealed. The connection typically seals with an extra quarter to a half turn of the canister. This effect can vary with different canisters and stoves. If the canister is tilted or shaken, liquid gas might leak out, which feels cold and seems like a larger leak. To minimise leakage, keep the canister upright and screw it on quickly for the last few turns.

A slight deformation of the burner on your multifuel stove when hot is not unusual and typically doesn't affect its performance. This happens because the material softens with heat, and pressure can cause minor changes in shape. However, if the deformation becomes more pronounced and starts to affect the position of the flame spreader, you should contact Primus customer service at support@primus-silva.com for assistance.

If the Piezo igniter on your Primus stove isn't working, first check the gap between the ignition wire tip and the burner head; it should be 4-5mm. Adjust by bending the wire if necessary. Incorrect distance can cause ignition issues. You can also try scraping a bit with your nail over the Piezon if any food residue is stuck and preventing the spark. If the problem persists, consider replacing the Piezo. Primus offers spare parts and our YouTube channel features tutorials on how to replace them.

Regular sharpening is a key part of knife care for lasting performance.

Primus outdoor stoves are versatile and can be used with various types of fuel, depending on the stove type. These include gas (like their specific blends of propane, isobutane and butane), chemically pure gasoline (white gas), kerosene and, in emergency situations, even jet fuel. Additionally, OmniFuel and OmniLite Ti stoves can run on diesel when other fuels are not available. The choice of fuel depends on factors such as your adventure, altitude, temperature conditions and fuel availability in different regions. Each fuel type has its own advantages and considerations, like energy content, ease of ignition and operational temperatures.

For detailed information on each fuel type, please visit our Primus Fuel Guide.

Canister gas, like Primus Power Gas, is a blend of gases such as propane and isobutane, stored under pressure in metal canisters. It performs well in a range of temperatures, even below freezing, making it suitable for various outdoor activities. The gas, in liquid form inside the canister, turns to gas when released through the valve. These canisters are compact and portable, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. For more detailed information, visit our blog article: Everything About Canister Gas.

The duration for which a Primus vacuum bottle maintains the temperature of hot or cold liquids depends on factors like the type and size of the bottle, and the initial temperature of the liquid. In our guide about Primus Vacuum Bottles you can find various diagrams that show how the temperature in our bottles changes over a period of 24 hours.

Primus vacuum bottles should not be put in the dishwasher. It's recommended to clean them manually with a brush and washing up liquid. The bottle's cap and its seals should be cleaned separately. If there's any residue inside the bottle, a mix of water and washing up liquid or bicarbonate left overnight can help. Dishwashing can discolour the coating and may not effectively clean the bottle due to its narrow opening. For more detailed care instructions, you can find our vacuum bottle care guide here.

The difference lies in their insulation abilities. Vacuum-insulated bottles have a vacuum between two walls, providing excellent insulation and minimal heat loss. Double-walled mugs have an air layer between the walls, offering better heat retention than single-walled mugs but less than vacuum-insulated ones. Single-walled mugs have no insulation layer, so heat transfers more quickly. Each type has its own benefits depending on the intended use and the desired level of temperature retention.

No, you should not use Primus vacuum bottles for carbonated beverages. The pressure buildup from carbonated drinks can cause the stopper to be ejected forcefully, leading to potential leakage, damage or injury.
