Brunton Flex Canister Stove
Brunton Flex - the Crux updated

Ranked #137 - Canister Stoves
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,
