    Backpacking Stoves: Lightweight Stoves for Your Outdoor Kitchen

    Put down your backpack, set up your stove, and your outdoor kitchen is ready to go. Backpacking stoves are designed to meet the specific needs of hiking and mountain adventures as effectively as possible. Their lightweight and compact design makes them the ideal companion on trips where every gram matters. Plus, they're easy to use and quick to assemble. This is essential, as cooking should be as hassle-free as possible after a long day out on the trail.

    There are various types of backpacking stoves. The three primary kinds are sit-on-top stoves, stoves with a fuel hose and stove systems. Sit-on-top stoves are notably small and compact, easily attaching to a threaded gas canister. Stoves with a fuel hose, meanwhile, have folding legs and connect the gas bottle to the stove via a tube. Ignition is achieved through an external heat source or, depending on the model, with a piezo igniter. Primus also has stove systems where the burner and pot are designed to fit together. This allows them to cope better with wind and thus be more fuel efficient.

    What is a Backpacking Stove with Piezo Ignition?

    Many Primus backpacking stoves feature what's known as piezo ignition. This is particularly convenient because these stoves don't require matches or a lighter. The piezo ignition creates a spark by pressing a button, which ignites the gas. This makes the stove safer and more user-friendly – especially in windy or wet conditions.

    Primus Duo Stoves: More Flexibility on the Go

    Some of our outdoor gas stoves are available as a Duo version. This means that they can operate with two different types of gas cartridges: You can either use the standard screw-on cartridges or the clip-on cartridges from Primus.
