Needs some fixes

Optimus Crux Stove

Optimus Crux Stove

Rating for this product: 2 October 8, 2008

Sure is light and nifty, but the folding burner does not lock properly and I spilled a liter of boiling water the first time I used it. No harm done, but if you do this on a small bivvy ledge you could end up with it in your lap! Too bad, because its bad engineering, not a bad concept. The valve is sooooper touchy! It seemed like unless you had it cranked up like a Saturn V (am I dating myself?) you could not touch the valve without the stove flaming out instantly. Don't know what the cause of that is, but it's not something that happens on the any of the other half dozen stoves I own. I took it back to MEC and they gave me refund! Optimus needs to fix the wobble, or they'll have liability issues!
