Product Details
xBCB Crusader MK II Dragon Cup and Cooker Aluminium System
Lighter and more efficient than the original Crusader. The BCB Crusader MK II Dragon includes high-grade aluminium cup with shaped heat-capture base and multi-fuel cooker with internal chimney design. Designed for Fire Dragon fuel family but accepts solid and gel fuels. The aluminium construction makes this very light yet strong.
High-Grade Aluminium Construction Reduces Weight
The high-grade aluminium construction makes the MK II very light yet strong. This weight reduction benefits solo campers and bushcrafters who need cooking capability without excessive pack weight. The aluminium maintains durability while being lighter than stainless steel alternatives.
Shaped Base Captures More Heat for Faster Cooking
The cup features a shaped base designed to capture heat with a larger surface area. This design improvement increases heat transfer efficiency from the cooker to the cup. The shaped base contributes to faster boil times and reduced fuel consumption.
Internal Chimney Design Improves Burn Efficiency
The cooker features a special internal chimney in the centre that improves burn efficiency. This chimney design creates better airflow through the fuel, resulting in more complete combustion. The improved burn efficiency reduces fuel consumption and increases heat output.
Vent Holes Retain Heat and Funnel Airflow
Vent holes help retain as much heat as possible while funneling airflow for effective fuel burn. The vent design balances heat retention with oxygen supply for optimal combustion. This results in consistent heat output and efficient fuel use.
Designed for Fire Dragon Fuel Family
The Crusader MK II Dragon is designed specifically for use with the Fire Dragon family of fuels, both solid and gel. This optimization ensures maximum performance when using Fire Dragon products. The cooker is also a multi-fuel design that accepts other solid and gel fuels.
Multi-Fuel Capability Provides Fuel Flexibility
While optimized for Fire Dragon fuel, the cooker accepts multiple fuel types including solid fuel tablets and gel fuels. This fuel flexibility proves valuable when camping in remote UK locations where specific fuel types may be unavailable. The multi-fuel design provides backup options for extended trips.
Bigger Better Version of Original Crusader Cup
The Crusader Dragon Cup II is a bigger, better version of the original Crusader Cup. The increased size provides more cooking volume for solo camping meals. The improved design incorporates lessons learned from the original Crusader to enhance performance.
What BCB Crusader MK II Does Best
