Optimus Svea Stove

Optimus Svea Stove

Rating for this product: 5 June 18, 2009

My Svea 123 is 31 years old. First backpacking stove I ever owned. Now I have 7 stoves (gulp!). Haven't used it in a decade except to fire it up to keep it in good shape. With the optional pump to prime it it's a great stove. ULTRA reliable.

Can't belive it's so peicey now. I must have paid $30. for it in '78. I still have my much-used companion SIGG TOURIST cookset that was made for the SVEA 123. Brings back old memories.

Brunton Flex - the Crux updated

Brunton Flex Canister Stove

Brunton Flex Canister Stove

Rating for this product: 4 June 18, 2009

I bought the Brunton Flex because it had more and wider pot supports and a tighter spring-loaded sleeve to hold the burner upright. No more burner wobble as has been reported with the Crux. I put a tiny bit of motor oil on the sleeve to keep it from galling and wearing. I want it to stay tight. Motor oil should be unaffected by the heat of the stem when in use.

I was using a slightly (.7 oz.) lighter Vargo Jet-Ti burner but the Crux had better pot supports and a wider flame ring for more even heating.

I like this burner and its great controllability and, if needed, higher heat output with the larger burner ring. Very well re-designed by Brunton and a bit lighter than the Crux,

I haven't found another top-of-canister burner with the wide burner ring like the Flex has, OR the wide pot supports. Is ther one out there? Couldn't find it in Zen Stoves.com
