The Optimus Crux HE WEEKENDER W/FOLDABLE CRUX STOVE is my ONLY Canister-style stove. I 💘 it and chose it for its FOLDABLE small footprint. I've collected many camping/backpacking stoves over decades, mostly Trangia kits and Wood Gasification stoves...so moving to a Canister-style stove was something I researched very well before I bought one. The Crux series of stoves just seemed to fit my needs over the others. I'm glad I made it my choice. It's a lovely 😍 piece of kit and functions extremely well as designed.

Nice review! I find with Teflon it cracks, peels after a time with too hot of a heat and or any little scrapes. When it does this you should throw it out. It is not healthy to have Teflon flakes in your food. I stop buying T-Fal & Teflon 15 years ago.

I have the Optimus Crux stove which actually folds up to even be more compact that their Lite version. I've had it for almost 2 years and LOVE it! It works a lot better than my old Pocket Rocket and is a lot more compact. I'm not sure why it doesn't get more attention because it's a great stove.

Wow nice copel and stove and movie 🎥 my brother i m from South Korea 🇰🇷

@Jakelol1980 6 месяцев назад

Will the Crux folding stove fit under the small gas canister?

@David85swe 7 лет назад

How about the gas? How many cups can u boil before it's empty?

@urmumisaho69 3 года назад

Depending on fuel, Climate and wind etc with the 110g I get about 15-20 boils. (1/2 litre at a time) I usually put my pan/lid on top with food in it to heat at the same time then just drop it on the flame when water is boiled for 20 seconds. I use it on nearly full gas all the time though. Conservatively I can get 20-30 boils. So the little 110g last me Friday to Sunday with ease. I usually take a full 110g gas can each trip (only $6 at my local shop) incase I run out (spare). I just leave it in my pack. I mean it weighs less then a single meal so why not ? Haha. I’ve ran out before and had to light a fire to cook and the pan while being good isn’t designed for contact with hot coals so I destroyed it 😂. in hind sight should have left a gap and made a “grill” to slow boil it. Live and learn I guess lol

Thanks for the review. I'd like to see you do a similar review on the new MSR PocketRocket 2 stove. What do you think? Steve

@arcana1973 7 лет назад

stuff based on the recent reviews of items from the Katadyn group, I'm going to assume they received this item for review.

@ReviewOutdoorGear 7 лет назад

+Arcana73 yes, we received it for review

@Tracks777 7 лет назад

I like! Keep it up!

at 18m (60' above sea level) my my Optimus Crux boils 2 cups (0.5L) of water in 1'30".

I picked up the Optimus folding Crux. Pretty nice.

@derpyrologe3072 7 лет назад

Is there enough heat to cook a real meal for 2 persons?

@ReviewOutdoorGear 7 лет назад

+DerPyrologe Yes, the stove makes a lot of heat.

@derpyrologe3072 7 лет назад

ReviewOutdoorGear Thank you for the quick response.

@Sackmatters 7 лет назад

DerPyrologe I have this exact stove and I LOVE this stove. I have a jet boil and this stove and I can't decide which is better price effectiveness this is better but I love my electric igniter so it's a battle.

@Pseudochick01 7 лет назад

I have the Terra Week-End with an Heat Exchanger (HE), witch is a little bigger as the Solo. The HE is very effective and water boils mutch faster. I also use the foldable Crux. I LOVE it!

@odysseusreturns9133 6 лет назад

I have a Crux lite stove without the solo pot.,and on first inspection, build quality seems good. However in practice, the flame control is hopeless and fiddly while trying to adjust to a slow simmer. I have two Chinese built stoves at a quarter of the price that have a far superior flame adjustment. Much of the capacity of the pot is wasted in that useless pan/lid, so I opted for the GSI minimalist solo pot instead. And no toxic Teflon there either.

@DanskSloyd Год назад

May I ask, 4 years later, which burners are you refering to as the cheap chinese? Thanks.

@odysseusreturns9133 Год назад

@@DanskSloyd These were bought on E-bay, one was a Bulin. Since then I got the Soto Amicus to go with the GSI pot. , and that beats the Optimus hands down. And just as compact.

@daveyJ213 4 года назад

Great video Eugene. Question: if the entire fuel supply is not used during one setting can the canister be unscrewed from the stove? Will fuel spill/leak out? Canister can be reapplied for next session? Thanks. Yes, great advice at the end of video about being thankful and praising God for his blessings. Amen to that! Take care.

@oldgregg9074 Год назад

Looking for an answer to this as well, have you figured it out in the 3 years since you posted this lol

@vadim3976 Год назад

@@oldgregg9074 Absolutely. You can repeatedly screw and unscrew the stove from the gas canister with no problem. Just keep the stoves valve shut.

@waynebeck7801 10 месяцев назад

The small pot is lid for the larger pot

@daveyJ213 10 месяцев назад

Hey! Yes, I've tried out the stove on a local trip and it works great. You can indeed unscrew and reapply the fuel canister as needed. @@oldgregg9074

Nice review, I have the same kit and am planning to use it make some coffee while I’m out fishing.

@spokojnyMamut 5 лет назад

What's is height And diameter of that canteen? Cardrgde size is 230 And burner non-folding crux?

@Stllno 5 лет назад

I am leaning toward this stove because the ‘arms’ of the stove allows you to use smaller diameter pots - unlike many other popular stoves in this category. This is often overlooked in the stove reviews.

@RainWave13 3 года назад

I think you have me sold! I’m considering buying it and I think this is what I needed

@soianera9829 3 года назад

Terra Solo is almost same size with nalgene 32oz ? It's so smooooll dude !

@johnjames218 7 лет назад

I would like to see you cook a real meal in those pots, or are they just for boiling water?

@hambone4402 5 лет назад

Nice review. What was the altitude? Water boils at a lower temp at higher altitudes.

@dwylaw 5 лет назад

It look very unstable, tbh.

@Sikorsky67 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video it's professionally done. I would like to add : Swedish armed forces have issued this cookset to soldiers. You get the complete cookset with windshield and even alcohol burner from Trangia.
