Optimus Crux £25 plus P&P. Light use (about 4/5 times) Bought new for £60

[Mallow Man]

Too many stoves and other equipment - time to get rid of all the stuff I have accumulated and sits at the back of my cupboard. So the Crux must go. I don't use gas stoves anymore. This stove has had very, very light use and is in perfect working order and is virtually new. Superb design and needs a good home where it will be used becuase sitting here its no good to anyone!

"This little fireball comes in at just 3.1 ounces, yet it boils a liter of water in three and a half minutes. Ingenious design and high demand have spawned half a dozen models of micro-stove, but none fold down as cleverly and compactly as the Crux. It's astounding how much cooking you can do with such a diminutive device." - National Geographic Adventure, January 2004

"This cooker's MOMA-worthy design rules the canister-stove kitchen. Why it's cool: The Crux unfolds from a flat, sleek package into a high-output stove. Simply rotate the burner head upright on its ball-and-socket joint, allow the spring-loaded retaining collar to lock into place, and unfold the flame-adjustment lever. Once collapsed, the 3.1 ounce Crux slips neatly into a change-purse-size neoprene pouch, which in turn nestles perfectly into the concavity found under all isobutane canisters. The positive 'snap' of flame adjuster and burner head engaging--not to mention the flawless polish of the whole package--reveals master-craftsman-level machining. It cooks as good as it looks. That expansive burner boils in a flash, and the flame adjuster is smooth and consistent, down to the slightest simmer." - Outside Magazine, 2003 Gear of the Year Award

"If this stove got any smaller, we'd lose it. The hinged unit folds so flat it nests inside the concave bottom of a standard fuel canister." - Backpacker Magazine 2004 Gear Guide

Got a bargain there Rich.

Cost a bomb over here, cost me £35 quid plus the customs gamble to get one direct from the USA. Good kit and very compact. This and a 110g gas cartridge will fit inside a NATO steel mug with room to spare. You can see it in the pics of my 2nd "possibles" (bumbag) in the gallery.
