Review on 🏕️ Optimus Crux 8019260: The Ultimate Camping/Hiking Camp Stove for Outdoor Enthusiasts! by Nick Mcvey

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Compact and reliable

Bought this as a gift. I have had a folding Optimus Crux for six years now and have used it while hiking the Appalachian Trail. When folded, the oven is so compact that you have to be careful not to lose it. It generates a lot of heat and when water boils it can match or beat any stove. It also boils, which many canister ovens won't allow. I have used it with various sized pots up to 4 liters but would recommend buying a set of stabilizing feet that attach to the fuel can if using larger pots.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not bad
