Gas cartridges Primus
Steeped in Swedish engineering, Primus has been globally recognized for pioneering outdoor cooking since 1892.
Since then innovative products have made countless expeditions possible through outstanding quality and performance: a Primus stove accompanied Roald Amundsen when he was the first person to reach the South Pole on 14 December 1911. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay used a Primus on Mount Everest when they climbed the summit on 29 May 1953.
However, these are just the most popular amongst several pioneering adventures that relied on Primus in the past. Until today, search for improved technologies and smart solutions for the most adventures has never stopped.
Their passion for the outdoors and technical expertise is the secret behind every one of these innovations. It's also the reason they hand test every stove before it leaves state of the art European production facility in Estonia. Their goal is to ensure each and everyone becomes a truly reliable, life-long companion.

GAS CARTRIDGES
The most common propane/butane ratio in the cartridges for camping stoves is 30/70. This ensures good combustion even in winter. Propane-butane cartridges are usually available in three sizes: 100 g, 220 g and 450 g. The exact weights vary slightly from one manufacturer to another.
Expected life of a cartridge for one person:
- 100 g: 1 day+
- 220 g: Weekend
- 450g: 1 Week
Of course, it all depends on the intensity and quantity of cooking. It is best to test how long a cartridge lasts for you personally and adjust your reserves accordingly.
