[EdS]

Anyone know anywhere that is doing a clone of the Optimus Crux?

Go outdoors have a Ti version of it that's pretty decent.

Deal Extreme do do one but one of the stovies got one and the piezo-electric starter failed first time. That said most of them do sooner or later. The stove itself worked though IIRC.

I got one of these last year, not a Crux but its a right good little stove http://www.wilko.com/camping/wilko-stove-compact/invt/0299806 they are in stock now.

I've a pocket rocket, but want the crux as it takes less space with the way it folds. Less space in the emergency kit that goes underground on big trips.


Not bothered about the piezo really. Just don't really want to pay 40 odd quid for one to take caving.

Rik - have you got a link as I couldn't find it on there. Cheers

The Karrimor XLite is pretty good Ed, a pal used mine on the TGO last year and never had any probs ..

The pot supports legs are a bit rattly but it works fine, you're welcome to borrow mine for a while as it's just sat in my spares box right now.

Does that one fold like the crux - the pack size ie under the canister is the main reason for looking at them.

 

[Shewie]

No sorry, it's just the ridged part of the legs which fold up on top

I have the coleman F1 which packs like this
