 Easy to use, compact design: With the Ulti Stove System the outdoor experts of Primus present an innovative cooking solution for use in extreme weather conditions.

Reliable Cooking Solution

Fans of outdoor equipment will be thrilled with this easy to use cooking solution from Primus. With the “Ulti Stove” system, the Swedish manufacturer of high-quality outdoor stoves is bringing an exciting innovation to the market. Whether for extreme expeditions or a normal outdoor tour, cooking should be possible in almost any weather with the “Ulti Stove” system. “The Ulti Stove System is the most wind-resistant, stable, reliable, and powerful cooking solution we have ever made. With the goal of withstanding even the harshest environments, this all-in-one system with its combination of catalytic combustion and infrared radiation offers the most reliable cooking solution for expedition chefs worldwide,” says Manuel Dürmoser, Head of Product at Primus.

The Ulti Stove System has been specifically designed for expedition adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts who venture out in the most extreme conditions and cook outdoors. “Whether on the coldest Arctic expeditions, sandy desert trails, or the wettest jungle, everyone can fully focus on their own mission and trust that they will be able to prepare a hot meal under any circumstances,” describes Dürmoser, highlighting further advantages of the stove system. In addition to Primus’ expertise, the development process also incorporated feedback from collaborating professional experts, mountain guides, and expedition adventurers. “This allowed us to create a product range that is unique in terms of versatility, design, construction, ergonomics, and durability,” adds Dürmoser.

Innovative, High Efficiency

What exactly is so special about the Ulti Stove system? Here are a few insights: After igniting the “Ulti Stove”, no flame is produced. Fuel and air mix in the burner and burn in the presence of a catalyst material. This is a special metal alloy applied to a porous metal foam. The result is a more complete combustion of the gas-air mixture. This allows for cooking or snow melting even in the strongest wind. The high efficiency of the system also saves on gas consumption. A compact and robust design completes this extraordinary cooking system. Thanks to the well-thought-out hose system, it is possible to use the gas cartridge upside down in lower temperatures. “This allows the owner to always prepare a warm meal or beverage, regardless of when and where”, explains Dürmoser.

Durable Thanks to a Robust Design

Both retailers and end consumers can look forward to a contemporary product that aligns with the current trend of lightweight solutions in outdoor equipment. In the case of Primus’ Ulti Stove System, “lightweight” refers to both its weight and ease of use. End consumers receive a robust stove system designed for long-term usability. The fact that the manufacturing location is in Europe was highlighted as a positive aspect by ISPO sustainability expert Luisa Smith, which positively influenced the award decision.
