There’s a version of camp cooking that involves a battered pot, a sputtering stove and a resigned acceptance that everything will taste slightly burnt. It doesn’t have to be this way. The reason Primus has been making outdoor cooking equipment since 1892 is because this pioneering Swedish brand realised early on that, done right, cooking outside is one of the great pleasures of being outdoors, and that it deserves to be taken seriously.
The range has evolved considerably since that first soot-free kerosene stove was built in a Stockholm workshop. Today it spans compact two-burner campsite stoves, portable grills that will do justice to any ingredient, versatile cook sets for backcountry trips and a thoughtfully designed suite of tools and utensils that make the difference between a functional camp kitchen and a gourmet one. Here’s how to build the ultimate setup.
The Stove: Moto Two-Burner Stove
Any serious camp kitchen starts with a reliable heat source, and Primus' brand-new Moto Stove is the ideal foundation for any setup. Two 4,400W burners with independent flame controls give you the flexibility to boil a pan of water and simmer a sauce simultaneously – the kind of dual-flame control that’s effortless when you have it and conspicuously absent when you don’t. Wraparound windscreens protect both burners in breezy conditions, and an integrated Piezo igniter means no fumbling for a match.
The powder-coated steel body is durable and easy to clean, with a stainless steel and nickel-chrome cooking surface that wipes down quickly after use. The low-profile design packs neatly into a car boot or campervan without taking up meaningful storage space, and the built-in carry handle makes setup and pack-down straightforward. Connect directly to a regular screw-in canister – no adapter needed – and you’re cooking on gas within seconds of stopping.
With the capacity to feed up to five people, the Moto is the kind of stove that soon earns its place on every trip, becoming the first piece of camping kit you pack.
The Grill: Kuchoma Portable Grill
While the Moto handles the everyday cooking, the Kuchoma handles the occasions when you want to do something more with your evening meal.
A horizontal burner tube delivers even heat and 2,500W of grill power, while the deep steel hood seals in heat for controlled cooking. Foldable legs raise the grill to a comfortable working height and free up tabletop space, while the ceramic non-stick grill grate is removable for easy cleaning – and dishwasher safe if you save it ‘til you get home.
The most portable grill on the market, it carries in one hand, locks closed for transport, and takes up barely more space than a large griddle pan.
Sear, grill, toast or slow-cook under the hood. For anyone who thinks grilling out is too much hassle, the Kuchoma will change their mind.

The Cookware: Essential Trek Pot Set
For those heading further afield – away from the campsite and into the hills – the Essential Trek Pot Set covers the bases without adding unnecessary weight. A 1-litre pot with frying pan lid and a 0.6-litre pot nest together into a compact package that fits into any rucksack without drama. Hard-anodised aluminium construction means fast, even heat distribution and easy cleaning in the field.
Between the two pots you have enough capacity for a proper backcountry meal for one or a reasonable feed for two – pasta, rice, one-pot stews, rehydrated meals, morning porridge. Meanwhile, the flat-bottomed mini frying pan does double duty as a pot lid. Simple, sensibly designed, and built to last.
The Prep: Campfire Prep Set
Good ingredients deserve proper preparation, and the Campfire Prep Set is the piece of kit that elevates a camp meal from functional to memorable. Three solid oak cooking utensils – a spoon, an oversized fork and a flat-edged scraper – cover most cooking situations, joined by a stainless-steel grater and a 12cm knife, all housed in a compact storage roll made from rugged PU-coated G-1000 polycotton. It keeps everything together and protects it in transit.
The oak utensils are naturally self-disinfecting – a quiet but meaningful advantage in the field. It’s the kind of well-considered detail that runs through the Primus range: features that earn their place through usefulness rather than novelty.

The Kettle: LiTech Coffee/Tea Kettle 1.5L
A proper brew is, for many campers, non-negotiable. The LiTech Kettle makes morning tea or evening cocoa easy: hard-anodised aluminium heats water fast and efficiently, and the narrow pour spout gives you the precision control that pour-over coffee demands. The folding handle pivots up for pouring and folds flat for packing, while the 1.5-litre capacity is enough for multiple cups.

The Complete Kit: Trail Cooking Kit + Coffee Press
Lastly, for those who want a single, compact solution that covers all the bases, the Trail Cooking Kit with Coffee Press is the answer. A complete trekking kitchen for one to two people, it includes everything needed for outdoor cooking (1-litre anodised aluminium pot with pour spout plus frying pan/lid and included handles), plus an integrated coffee press – invented in Sweden, handcrafted in Europe, and designed to pack down into one neat, self-contained unit.
Whether you’re a new wild camper putting together your first kit or an experienced backpacker consolidating a system that has grown unwieldy over the years, it presents a compelling case for simple and effective design.
From a campervan kitchen to a solo overnight bivvy, the Primus range gives you the tools to cook properly wherever you are. Visit the Primus website to build your camp kitchen setup.
