Optimus Crux Stove

Item #OPS0001 | 28 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Can't beat the price and size

By Ranked #169 - Canister Stoves October 17, 2008

Just got this stove and have yet to field test it but so far I think it will do. Pros: tiny, you can fit this thing just about anywhere, doesn't quite fit under the 220 as well as I would like and will probly just thow it on top of the canister in my pot. The flame adjustment is great. Unlike others who say it is hard to adjust I would disagree, you can easily get this thing to simmer. Cons: no need to wast the time and ounces with the included carry case, top seems to be a bit wobbly and unstable, something I may be able to remedy with a quick tightening or whatnot, certainly not something I would leave unattended. Overall I am pretty happy with it. I'm guessing it will serve its purpose and be a part of my gear for a long time to come.
