Cookers & Kit

From super light-weight to expedition Primus has become a household name in outdoor cooking equipment. Roald Amundsen had a Primus stove among his supplies when he became the first person to reach the South Pole, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay used a Primus on Mount Everest when they reached the summit in 1953.
Primus has literally led the way with new fuel efficient burners; other manufacturers can only follow in the wake left by Primus designers and manufacturing standards. With the tide of opinion starting to turn away from wood/debris burning stoves and of course Meths/Alcohol burners due to their adverse environmental impact, gas (or butane) burning stoves are being viewed in a new light.....it’s only a matter of time before re-chargeable fuel cells are with us; in the mean-time dispose of your used canisters thoughtfully.
Every day, all round the world millions of people use Primus stoves and Lanterns; no matter whether you need to cook at the North Pole or in your own back garden, you can count on Primus.

The latest stove offering from Primus in their acclaimed ‘Lightweight Express range’. If you’ve never used a remote, hose-attached gas stove before, now is probably the best time to start! This stove really is incredible, it is astonishingly light and, because of the pre-heat tube which, passes through the stove’s own flame before ignition its astonishingly efficient too. (We have boiled half a litre of water in 3 & ½ minutes, outside and starting at just above freezing with this stove which used up 12g of fuel - efficient value).

Because the Spider ‘clings’ to the ground (like a Spider......durrghhh) it is though, above all its very stable......far more so that the ‘cylinder-top’ models we have always used before, this also makes the stove less susceptible to the chilling effects of wind and far easier to shield (we’ve found it’s also much more stable in a fishing boat too...!)

You’ll find yourself using a stove far more frequently if its easy and efficient to use and if the chances of burning yourself are far less....i.e. you don’t have to fiddle about under a boiling pot to get a simmer adjustment as the control is on the gas cylinder, not just below the flame as on a cylinder-top model.

Supplied with it's own little stuff-baggie.

Without doubt, our new favourite stove!

All the efficiency and convenience of the brilliant EtaExpress, in a slightly larger 2-person unit.

The Primus Eta PackLite Stove is extremely light, small, convenient, stable and efficient. The Eta Packlite cooking system has a metal base on which, ithe burner is cunningly mounted for stowage together with a piezo igniter; a windscreen, a 1.2 liter pot plus a sturdy and environmentally friendly polypropylene lid which, has small holes so it can be used as a colander.

This is a stove that really deserves its name - it is small and easily collapsible. A captive armoured hose connects to a bayonet fastening for attachment to an 'external' LP canister.

All the components can be packed into the pot (lined with a graded bowl made of hygienic, environmentally friendly polypropylene to protect the non-stick coating - the tub also makes an excellent serving bowl!), leaving room for a 100 gram LP gas cartridge. The fuel-efficient burner and the EtaPower pot with heat exchanger are the secret to the Packlites extraordinary efficiency - this cuts down on both weight and space in your rucksack by cutting down on fuel required.

This would be an excellent choice of stove for people who want a Backpacking/Bushcraft cooking unit that stores within itself for transport and that comfortably serves two people or for use by one person on a longer outing.

Ohh....Titanium!!

Yes folks, it’s grey and very very sexy.....and no it’s not George Clooney...and no its not you Ian either..... it’s Titanium of course. Lightweight, durable and probably highly overrated but never-the-less with a huge following. This stove was designed by Primus in Japan specifically for solo use; the attention to detail and efficiency of design shines through from the moment you pick it up....its a really nice piece of work.

This stove set is the all-in-one solution of choice, your folded Ti Stove and a 100g or 230g gas canister will invert and get a free ride inside the Ti Titanium pot when not in use; you can cook in the pot and/or use it as a drinking cup making this a space-saving cooking solution.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this set though is the power of the stove (13,500 BTU’s and hour....which is hot, hot, hot!)....if you’ve ever flown a Harrier Jump Jet you’ll have some idea of the power of this stove.....if you haven’t just fire a Ti Stove up for a good idea of the sound and power output. This is very much the bully-boy of outdoor stoves; put a wind-shield around the stove and you can cook, boil or indeed smelt metal in next to no time!

The 0.9 litre titanium cooking pot can hold a 100 or 230 gram LP gas cartridge.

Supplied with a net stuff sack.

We do recommend this stove.....expensive but worth the cost; like all things that are beautifully made this stove set gets nicer with age too.

• Size: 120 x 95mm
• Weight: 198g. Output: 4000 W 13500 BTU/h. Boiling time: 3 mins. Suitable for: 1-2 people

This is the renowned 'Eta series' pot and its perfect for the solo hiker or pair who only need a single 1 litre pot for cooking/boiling etc. The lid can be used as a (albeit very small) frying pan.

Made of hard anodized aluminium with a multi-layer titanium nonstick surface on the inside. The pot has the phenomenal and well documented primus Eta heat exchanger on the bottom, which will make your gas stove approximately one third faster. By being faster, you stove is effectively more fuel-efficient - this makes the whole very much more environmentally friendly.

A 100 or 230 gram LP gas cartridge and a Primus 'Spider' stove will fit into the 1Ltr Pot - neat and compact; the pot comes complete with a net stuff-sack.

1Litre

Improves fuel and heat efficiency dramatically hence, reduces cook/boil times and reduces fuel use.

Specifically compatible with: Primus ExpressStove, MicronStove Ti and TiLite

Packs conveniently around the fuel cell when not in use.

Also fits most commercially available small top-mounted gas stoves.

A collapsible 'Tri-pod' that will fit 100 / 230 / and 450g Powergas cartridges which, without the footrest are extremely unstable.....as you'll know if you've ever tried to boil a Litre of water on such...all is well until the boil rolls and then....over goes your pot and its contents!

Collapses into one length that fits easily into the stove stuff-sack.


A very sensible idea.

A nifty little lantern that's really compact, lightweight and because it's not glass - highly durable providing light (and warmth) when you need it. Ideal for when small dimensions, low weight and rugged-build are essential.

The Micron has a rust-proof, stainless steel mesh globe instead of glass, making the lantern very nearly unbreakable. The primus "EasyTrigger" ignition allows for quick and easy lighting and the patented burner ensures that the lantern is virtually silent and highly fuel efficient.

Has an easily controllable, variable light/power out-put of up to 70w; comes complete with wire suspension wires for hanging; compatible with all threaded fuel cells.

As the name suggests, this is a bowl - with a grip. Sounds simple enough, and indeed it is; the grip affords a better purchase on the bowl and allows you to handle even the hottest of hot meals when served - its great! Made from 18/8 Stainless Steel so its easy to keep immaculately clean, measures 18cm across and about 5cm deep so holds plenty of good grub - or even soup.
An all-round neat peice of kit, the only bowl you'll need....and at only 165gms you really won't notice it in your back-pack.

Produced in 18-guage stainless-steel, these excellent Kettles (Billy-cans) are beautifully made by Tatonka of Germany. The handle is shaped to allow the pot to be securely suspended over an open fire; this locks into position to help safe-pouring of hot liquids. The lid with separate handle doubles up as a useful frying pan or plate.
The highly polished finish is durable and will last well through extensive use; can be used on stoves or open fires.

The 2.5-Litre version is ideal for family or group activities - as used on Red-Deer Bushcraf courses!

We are well known for our almost complete inability to do anything, for any length of time, without tea - this is for all of us who love proper loose-leaf teas but always seem to forget the strainer!
A 1 litre Teapot with a strainer cleverly built into the main opening.
Made from 18/8 Stainless Steel so easily kept clean and weighing only 330grms this pot is aproximately 15cm across and 7cm deep - it brews plenty of tea for two thirsty hikers, walkers, fishermen, stalkers or bushcrafters.

Designed in Scandinavia this little tool brings a much needed element of civilisation to eating out-doors. Easy to keep clean, useful (because it’s good at everything it’s designed to be used for), colourful (so less easily lost) and at 9g very light, this is the ultimate in compact eating utensils. We use them al the time when eating meals, long enough to reach to the bottom of pre-prepared meal bags and handy for stirring outdoor-brews.
