Not all gas blends and canisters are created equal and that is why we offer a variety of fuel blends that work in a variety of temperatures. Make sure you select the best fuel option for your intended environment.
Vapor Mesh™ technology makes Primus Winter Gas the fastest sub-zero boiling canister fuel available. It increases the speed of vaporization from liquid to gas, with the inclusion of an absorbent paper insert that increases the surface area available for liquid fuel to evaporate into a gas state. That means a higher pressure that allows the burner to consistently receive more fuel, resulting in a stronger flame that cuts down boiling time in low temperatures, and overall better cold-weather performance. The best part, the effect of the Vapor Mesh increases as fuel level decreases.
After 60 minutes of cooking, a Winter Gas cartridge is approximately 9% more powerful than one without Vapor Mesh. After 120 minutes of use it delivers about 15% more power.
Winter Gas consists of a mixture of propane and isobutane for optimal cooking when the outside temperature is cold.
ALL PRIMUS FUEL IS CLIMATE COMPENSATED
All Primus fuel has been carbon dioxide-neutral camping fuel since 2015. To compensate for the emissions and the metal container in our canister gas, we invest in focused carbon-offsetting efforts across the globe.
Primus - Winter Gas
It can be difficult to calculate the amount of fuel needed on your adventure. Whether you are by yourself or with others, how many days you will be away, what stove you have, whether you are going to cook or only boil water for freeze-dried food and hot drinks will all determine how much gas you need to pack.
To help, we have made a table based on what one person with one stove who only boils water for an average amount of freeze-dried food and drink consumes in fuel. For winter consumption, we have included the melting of snow.
Use the table in the images as a guideline for your own adventure, but remember that consumption may vary depending on the wind, temperature, number of people and type of food. To keep consumption as low as possible, make sure you sit in a location sheltered from the wind or use a windscreen around the stove. Pans with heat exchangers also help to increase fuel efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Which in turn also means less pack weight and volume as well as lower carbon dioxide emissions.
