Test - Primus Kinjia Stove

A compact stove designed for real outdoor cooking

In the field, after a day of driving, setting up camp, or doing activities, you don't want to spend time "fiddling around" with a meal. You want something simple, reliable, and efficient.

That's exactly how the Primus Kinjia Stove is positioned: a compact two-burner stove designed for regular use.

Getting started: a format that really changes the game

From the very first use, one thing is clear:

ultra-compact format

With dimensions of 47 x 29 x 8 cm and weighing 3.7 kg, the Kinjia is one of the most compact double-burner stoves on the market.

In practice, this means:

  • easy integration into the trunk

  • a natural place in a storage drawer

  • easy transport, briefcase style, thanks to the integrated handle

We've come a long way from those bulky stoves that we reluctantly take out.
Here, everything is designed to encourage frequent use.

 

In use: true cooking capability

Compact does not mean limited.

The Kinjia is equipped with two independent burners, each developing approximately 3000 W.

In practice, this allows you to:

  • bring water to a boil quickly

  • start cooking the main ingredient (pasta, rice, meat)

  • manage a parallel preparation (sauce, vegetables)

Result: you can cook for 2 or 6 people with ease.

This is not just a simple "all or nothing" stove, but a real outdoor cooking tool.

Design: simplicity and sustainability

Primus is not a new brand.
They have been developing outdoor cooking equipment for over a century, and it shows.

The Kinjia focuses on simple and efficient construction:

  • aluminum and stainless steel structure

  • sturdy, removable pot holders

  • easy-to-clean drip tray

  • simple and reliable locking system

No unnecessary gadgets
No superfluous complexity

This is clearly a product designed to last and be used regularly.

Field logic: a stove that you actually use

What's interesting about the Kinjia isn't just its features.
It's how it fits into real-world use.

In the field, habits remain the same:

  • quick installation

  • frequent use

  • effortless disassembly

And on these three points, Kinjia is perfectly aligned:

  • opens and sets up in seconds

  • simple gas connection

  • quick cleaning

It's typically the kind of equipment you take out without thinking twice, and that's a true indicator of quality.

 

Who is it for?

The Kinjia is not a minimalist stove.
It is clearly designed for those who want to cook properly outdoors.

It is particularly suitable for:

  • to travelers with roof tents

  • to users of light-duty converted vehicles

  • to families on outdoor weekends

For a simple coffee, Primus also offers a more compact model.
It is the perfect size for comfortable outdoor cooking.

 

What we learned after testing

✔ Remarkable compactness for a double stove
✔ Immediate ease of use
✔ True versatility in the kitchen

Conclusion

The Primus Kinjia Stove doesn't try to do too much.
It simply meets a specific need: cooking well outdoors, without constraints.

  • compact format
  • easy to use
  • sufficient performance for real-world use

In the outdoor world, it is often this type of product that makes the difference.
