The origin of Primus stoves goes way back to 1892 when a Swedish company B A Hjorth & Co presented the original Primus stove as “The World’s finest cooking system”. They had designed a stove in which the paraffin was vaporised before combustion, dramatically reduced smoke and improved heating efficiency. The brand was further strengthened when many of the great explorers of that time took Primus stoves with them on expeditions to the North and South poles and returned as national heroes.
