I have a 25 year old Optimus backpacking stove that uses a propane/butane cartiridge that has to be punctured by the stove "nipple". Will my old stove work with the replacement canister for this stove?

Your old Optimus will only work with the "puncture" type fuel canister. The Crux uses only the screw-on, Lindal valve type: standard fuel canister. Unfortunately they are not compatible.
