/ @ajrestoration Ladies and Gentlemen! Here we have a 90+ year-old Primus Kerosene model 5 stove to restore!
The Primus stove, the first pressurized-burner kerosene (paraffin) stove, was developed in 1892 by Frans Wilhelm Lindqvist, a factory mechanic in Stockholm. The stove was based on the design of the hand-held blowtorch; Lindqvist’s patent covered the burner, which was turned upward on the stove instead of outward as on the blowtorch.
The same year, Lindqvist partnered with Johan Viktor Svenson [sv] and established J.V. Svenson’s Kerosene Stove Factory for manufacturing the new stoves which were sold under the name Primus.
The first model was the No.1 stove, which was quickly followed by a number of similarly-designed stoves of different models and sizes.
Shortly thereafter, B.A. Hjorth & Co. (later Bahco), a tool and engineering firm begun in Stockholm in 1889, acquired the exclusive rights to sell the Primus stove.
I hope you enjoy the video.

My USSR grandparents kept talking about these Primus burners. They were a staple in the 30s. When gas stoves became ubiquitous and replaced kerosene burners, some people brought these to the beach and cooked freshly caught fish on them.
These items are jewels of engineering. They will last for ages, perfect for the impending zombie apocalypse. Nice work.
Very true and thank you very much.

Throwback just remembered our kerosene pump stove that we are using when I was a little boy. My mother used to bring it to the repair shop just to replace the burner and the loosen gasket of the pump and charge her in not a considerable price I think that I can able to do it. Luckily I have found an adjustable wrench drop by a speeding tricycle. So I'm the one who's replacing the burner when needed. I m happy coz I conribute a little help for our poor family. Thanks for the memory God bless us ♥️
We had one exactly the same on the farm many, many moons ago. This brings back fond memories.
Wow.....stunning restoration, I'm sure any outdoor enthusiast would love to have this in their collection. Greetings from Stockholm!!
Thank you very much!

I just managed to get one of these going after many years. I had found it in the local tip shop over 20 years ago and it had been under the house stored until I reactivated it. Satisfying restoration video. Thanks.
Well done, nice job, better than new now 👍💪❤️
In itself it looks nice, but it could be much better. The Burner can also be polished. There is also a part missing from the Burner!!
In your case, the Burner Cap consists of fire-resisting steel, but an Inner Cover still needs to be placed underneath! Then it burns much quieter.
What I also missed is the disassembly of the pump valve! This is an extremely important part, without which the stove cannot be used.
Maybe you can show this again in a next episode?
Good luck,
Jan
You are absolutely right. This is an unfinished restoration.
Absolutely. And in my opinion never use a steel brush on copper / messing. It’s destroying details. Therefore there are copper brushes. Tip…. To clean copper / messing, and also silver…… use a solution with water and citric acid. See what magic happens. Regards jeff
Thank you for giving these things a second chance,, we are too much of a throw away society today.
That is true!
놀라운 작업에 경의를 표합니다.
From South Korea.
If you show just the Before and After pictures no one is going to believe it's the same thing lol. Awesome
Thank you for the motivating reply.
Used it till in the 80's in South African townships. Memories memories
Spectacular!!! Sara
Folks I grow up with one of those and I was living alone for four years learning the trade electrician and I was 12 years old around 1956 but I remember this think to used every day cooking !
Nice restoration job brother. Like from India.
Nice job with the restoration, there should be two parts to the burner, you are missing a second inner cap to the burner.
True, I never knew that until the resto was done.
Nice to know what I can achieve with expensive technologies like sandblasting and powdercoating that I definitely have sitting around in my garage!
I get so much satisfaction from watching these restorations.❤
Thank you! I am glad you like it!
This is a kerosine stove right ??? This really burns so clean and nice.
Correct its a kerosene lamp.
@@AJRestoration Job well done Sir. Attention to details RULES.
Well I have learned something new today that Primus is Swedish brand, excellent restoration too.
Thank you for watching and glad you could take something away from our video.
Great restore. For me it was peaceful to watch. :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good restoration 👍 Thanks for sharing 🍺
Thank you too!
Bacana ! Tenho lampião a gasolina, era usado no Exército nos anos 70, 80 . O esquema para funcionar é bem parecido. Usa-se uma camisa igual as dos mais modernos q funcionam á gá butano. Tem a bombinha , regulador de claridade mais forte e mais fraca., válvula para interromper o combustível. Estava meio esquecido por um tempo, mas fiz uma manutenção, troquei borrachas de vedação q estavam ressecadas e ele funciona perfeitamente. Ainda está na cor original do exército , VERDE OLIVA. Uma relíquia.
It turned out great! Thanks for the background info 👌 Greetings from Sweden!
Awesome! Thank you!
My family used Primus stoves in 50s and 60s. There was also a "silent burner " model. The pump used to be at an angle.... nice..
Thanks for sharing
This is a silent burner, the other version is a roarer burner , which as it’s name implies burned like a blow lamp.
Hello beautiful restoration good job

MY DAD HAD THIS SAME MODEL AND I HAVE GOT IT DID NOT KNOW HOW TO START IT UP THANKYOU
Glad I could help!

Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant job.
Quiero comprar una donde la consigo porfavor
Puede encontrarlos en eBay u otros sitios web similares.
fantastic video iv got the same sort off stove but the top cap does not have loads of holes for the flame. its just a brass cap that sits on the top with no holes.how does the flame spread out.looking forward to stripping mine down and get it working again..thanks justin
Ive had a 00 since 1970. The keys are 1) use light fluid or denatured alcohol to warm the kerosene 2) CLEAN kerosene. Filter 2x or 3x or you will have intermittent firing
What was the point of adding soft solder to the side of one of the legs? The original attachment method was either brazing or silver-soldering, which produce a bond at least as strong as the metal being joined. The temperatures involved are much higher. Note that the legs survived the blasting without problem.
The soldering was added to all of the legs. We don't show the entire tedious process.
The legs were soldered to the body. The original attachment method was in fact not brazed or silver-soldered. All 3 legs had small cracks running down that needed reflowing and in this case the leg had to be taken off entirely and resoldered. Silver solder would have a much more shiny finish, and brazing would not be as smooth as normal lead solder that has been flowed. Also, almost anything can survive the blasting, even though it is a semi destructive way of removing surface imperfections, it is no way near abrasive enough for something not to survive the process. It all depends on the grit and air pressure used in the process.
Just a suggestion regarding the small parts, (this from many reloadings of bass bullets), if you use walnut shell medium in the tumbler with a tablespoon of brasso followed by washing the bass in lemishine dishwasher detergent the brass parts will shine like gold without any erosion from the abrasive tools and you will spare yourself the bruise under your thumb nail. The rest was a labour of love.
nice work
Thanks for the visit
This is a 20th Century stove probably in the 50's or 60's. There should be a date code embossment. With that said, Primus stoves are very desirable to own and use, and are welll constructed, assuming you don't lose the loose parts. Very nice job polishing! Many replacement parts are still available.
Thank you for the info. We have done some more research and updated accordingly.
So beatiful!
Great work! :)
Thank you so much!
Great job sir ji
Awesome work, again, dude! Looks fantastic! 🍻🤘💜
Thank you buddy! Cheers!
Looks great and a great job restoring it!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you very much!
@@AJRestoration You're very welcome and looking forward to your next video
I am wondering how the powder coat will hold up with the flame heat. Nice either way. Thumbs Up!
Thank you! Cheers! We have restored a WWII kerosene (th-cam.com/video/A4nF0KXEZZ8/w-d-xo.html) as well with powder coating and used it several times. We haven't seen any issues yet.
Gorgeous!
Very satisfying. Great restoration work and video! 👍🏻 Super relaxing to watch!🤟
Thank you very much!
@@AJRestoration Don't stop doing vids . I look forward to each new episode!
Great job!
Thanks for the visit
Cordial saludo desde Manizales Colombia. Tengo una estufa Primus 100 que dejó de funcionar porque la válvula que controla la entrada del aire en el émbolo, quizás por el prolongado uso, se dañó y dejó de funcionar. Esa pequeña válvula va allí atornillada, y tiene forma de extracción pero no he podido encontrar la herramienta adecuada. Dónde y cómo la puedo obtener. Sobra decir que sus vídeos me encantan y me entretienen sobremanera.
Nice! I have one smaller than yours and one same size that is never used. Here in Sweden many collect things like this.
Oh cool! Very nice
Beautiful
Thank you
hello, I would like to ask how many millimeters is the internal diameter of the flame spreader, its height and the diameter of the holes, thanks
Probably 2 to 3mm
@@AJRestoration I would also like to ask, is it possible to use technical alcohol? or not? thanks for the reply
Great restoration especially like hearing the birdsong in the background.
Thank you very much!
18:40 you dont need any packing on that burner? Im planning to do a reparation/restoration on one like that.
Yes I had only one washer installed, If I am correct there is supposed to be one on each side of the burner cup, but I am not sure. Good luck on the restoration!
Well done 😃👌🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
What kind of paint did u use to powder coat pls
Keep it up God bless you
Thank you so much
Para que no se oxide nuevamente el bronce,da un baño o pinta con laca transparente duco,así mantendrá por años el brillo tan hermoso del bronce pulido... !
I have one of these I did not realise how efficiently they burnt,but with paraffin over£2 a lt I think I will stick to a little wood burner.
Thank you very much for watching.
I suggest using tripoli first, followed by rouge second in your polishing. It will go faster.
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome work
Thank you! Cheers!
Odlicna restavracija!!! Cestitki
Hello vietnam✋✋
Thank you for watching
Otra inquietud, esta estufa puede funcionar con alcohol industrial?
Thank you.
🙏 Very nice work.👏💯💜
Suggestion : add 1:50 to vid, pan with olive oil and fry an egg, show only egg beginning to fry. ✔
Thanks for the tip!
this one was bitter sweet my darling daddy had one back in the 60s and 70s only difference is he used methylated spirit as the starter/primer fuel
Excelente Restauracion y puesta a prueba de esta, estufa de queroseno Primus modelo 5 antigua del siglo XIX, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela.💯👍👊💯💯👍👍🙏🙏
Gracias por la vista y comentario
@@AJRestoration 💯👊👍
nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Tuve varios Primus en mi casa en mi juventud, se usaban tanto para cocinar como tambien para calefaccionar.
Como trabajo de restauracion esta muy bueno, la falla que hizo a poco de encendido se debe a una fuga de gas en la parte inferior de la valvula, ahi lleva una arandela de amianto o similar para sellar la union de ambas piezas. En general buen trabajo.
Muchas gracias por la sugerencia y el amable comentario.
Mine is lighting yellow flame i need to fix that please
Mate what medium did you use for sand blasting?
Its medium grit silica sand. For softer metals I just use lower pressure.
Wife: "Why have my last two cakes smelt of paint?"
You: "Um .... I have no idea."
I gave the thousandth like, good restoration. Well-functioning kerosene stove

1000 Thank You's back to you. :)
Luiz vai enfrente,do jeito que bujão de gas.o preço aumenta e o canal o Primus...UM ABRAÇO JORGE do CHILE
What did you put to coat the grate, before the oven? Thanks
The grate was powdercoated.
Thank you
Did you replace the NVR pip? If you did I missed it. If not then that should always be replaced.
I did not replace, sourcing parts in my country is a nightmare.
My grandma used this but not spirit, it was kerosene oil. And it was from 1940's British india as i am from india.
They are extremely durable.
厉害！修复的和新的一样。最后不知是否喷嘴口径还是混气问题导致了炉头内燃？需要调节一下。
So Primus is a brand! It became a common name for such stoves in Soviet Russia.
You are right Primus is a product name. I think many well known brands over the years get related to a specific function.
dear sir, i own one of these primuses. it used to be my Dads. we used it when we went night fishing a long time ago, late 70s. do you have any info as to where i can get spares. i would love to put it back into service. thanks....
Jakob Rebeki EBay is a good source for spare for these. I have 3 and got all my parts there.
Thanks for sharing
@@salr362 thanks....
Hola buen día q precio tiene el reverbero estoy en Bucaramanga y si mandan x servi entrega xf
Hola una restauracion muy bonita .pero incompleta no cambiaste ningun empaque y estamos hablando de empaques con mas de 90 años. La seguridad ante todo . Saludos desde Mexico.
Gracias por el consejo. Tendremos esto en cuenta al hacer otra estufa.
Amazing job AJ 👍 looks like a work of art. Can I ask how the black powder coating on the top held up to the heat and the flame ?
Over time it does burn off, mine still looks great, I have not used it since the restoration.
@@AJRestoration ok cool 👍 thanks for getting back to me
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇸🇪😍⚙️🔩🔧🧰
Thank you Hamid! :-)
Yo sigo usando primus en casa mi suegra lo usa y mi madre tiene uno impecable y andan lo más bien
A word of advice: stay away from regulated burners as they don't age well...they leak and catch on fire, spares are almost impossible to find. Unregulated burners however will last forever with occasional desooting by heating it up with propane torch and quenching in cold water couple of times.
Hopefully by summer there will be a new toenail. Well, the work is good.)))
Yes, thanks. :)
What is the heat resistant colour to use the heated portion?
Buen trabajo pero le falta una pieza al quemador una que va dentro del dispensador de flama..!por eso ocurren pequeñas explociones .
How to clean the carbon scale in side the burner?
Is the pump valve checked?
Yes it was checked.
What I find disturbing about this video is that if someone follows your restoration process it could ultimately prove to be dangerous. You make no attempt to remove and service a vital part called the non return valve which allows air to enter the tank but prevents fuel from entering the pump. If this happens and fuel escapes the pump, which it will, a fire is extremely likely. Even if this is initially working it is absolutely vital it is serviced on an old stove.
You then assemble incorrectly as you do not fit an inner burner cap and that is why your stove burns with flames within the outer burner cap causing it to glow. That should not happen.
In 2020 I restored about thirty or more stoves and the channel I watch if I want to learn how to do something correctly is BernieDawg Cinema.
I had a look at that channel you recommended and thank you immensely for that. I really appreciate the time you took to reply to this video.
Add to that using the wire wheel to brass and I’m not sure what media he used for the sandblaster but these “resto” channels most of them don’t really full service a lantern or stove the proper way they just do the aesthetics for looks when finished. Never saw the NRV get serviced and the the washer he used to attach the burner wonder what material is it but he ended with a leak and the inner cap it’s another strike. I think these kind of channels have to do a research before offering a “how to do”
I don't know where you get your items from to restore but you seem to have a number of items which are the same or very nearly the same as I do, lol! I acquired my Primus stove from my late father and the one I have is not as old as yours but the looks of it is nearly identical even though they were probably made about 40 years apart. Only difference is in the words/branding stamped into the metal plating. They don't change these designs much I guess!
That is awesome haha they made millions of them
¡muy bueno!, pero te faltó una aguja para destapar el oído (al final), cuando no la teníamos a mano le dábamos un soplido fuerte, 😉
Tengo el de mis padres, regalo de casamiento del año 1957.
