Optimus Crux Stove

Item #OPS0001 | 32 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Compact and Powerful

By Ranked #144 - Canister Stoves June 17, 2010

I love this stove! Just used it on its first outing and it performed wonderfully. I'm able to pack the stove and fuel canister into my MSR tea kettle giving me a liter of water-boiling capacity in 3-4 minutes with very little weight. Seems to be very well built and I expect years of use. The fuel valve seems to be a little sensitive, so bumping it can cause the fuel flow to be interrupted, but if you're careful while setting the burner it works just fine. Of course, it has the issues of any canister stove, i.e. not great in cold weather, but I couldn't ask for much better.
