A SMALL, OUTDOOR SPECIALIST RETAILER, OWNED BY A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT TESTER
The Optimus Crux Lite with Piezo weighs just 86g but delivers 3000W of cooking power. This package includes the ultralight Crux Lite stove plus a reliable handheld Piezo ignitor with lanyard. When every gram matters on ultralight adventures, this combination gives you dependable cooking without the weight penalty of heavier systems.
At 86g total, this stove weighs less than most energy bars but produces serious heat output. The 3000W burner distributes heat evenly across pot bases, preventing hot spots that burn food while leaving edges cold. The precision flame control lets you simmer delicate meals or achieve rapid boiling when time matters. The compact 71 x 57 x 56mm dimensions pack into unused spaces in your cookware.
The included Piezo ignitor eliminates the need to carry matches or lighters - crucial backup when you're days from resupply. The lanyard prevents dropping it off cliff edges or losing it in tall grass around campsites. One-handed operation means you can light the stove while holding your pot, making setup faster when you're tired after long hiking days.
The 3-minute boil time for 1L of water gets you fed quickly when weather turns nasty or you're setting up camp in fading light. The stable burner design works reliably even when your hands are cold and clumsy. The 90-minute burn time with a 220g gas canister covers multiple days of solo cooking, including morning coffee and evening meals.
This stove tucks into unused spaces in your cookware, maximizing pack efficiency. The stainless steel and aluminum construction handles repeated use without warping or failing. When you're carrying everything on your back for days, reliable equipment that won't let you down matters more than saving a few extra grams with inferior designs.
Gas canisters are sold separately - our butane/propane canister selection includes sizes from 100g for weekend trips to 450g for extended adventures.
