Vega Stove

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Below freezing, a standard canister stove starves because the gas stays liquid in the can and pressure drops until the flame dies. The Vega flips the canister upside down using the integrated stand so it feeds liquid fuel directly to the burner, and the stove keeps cooking down to minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit."

The Optimus Vega connects to its canister via a hose rather than threading directly onto the valve, which puts the burner head low and wide on its own set of legs. That low center of gravity keeps it stable under a full-size pot on uneven ground.
