Crux stove

Ultralight Canister Stove

Meet the Optimus Crux, a eighty-three gram stove engineered to hide away under a gas canister. This seemingly impossible feat is accomplished with a foldable burner neck and serrated pot supports which are also designed to fold away for packing. It's hard to find a stove that's more compact and convenient than the Optimus Crux, and despite its size, the power of the Optimus Crux is right up there with the big boys at 3000W. Why carry more than needed? All you'd ever need for a dinner date with Mother Nature is right here.
