Optimus Crux Lite Stove
From Optimus: If you cut off your toothbrush handle and trim tags off jackets to shave weight on your ultralight backcountry adventures, get even more serious with the Crux Lite stove. It has all the performance of the regular feather-light Crux but pares away another 11g by eliminating the folding mechanism. Dependably strong, this stove has a powerful, stable 3000 w burner that distributes heat superbly. Satisfying the growling monster in your belly will be fast and easy with precision simmering, fast boiling, and no spot burning. Not quite as flat as the Crux when stored, it still tucks nicely into any unused nooks and crannies in your cookware.
From Nick: This stove has done everything from boil water at 12,000 feet to caramelizing onions in my office. And it packs up nicely into the GSI dualist kit also listed for rent here. Its folding arms are decently stable even with large pots and pans, and it’s capable of putting out a great deal of heat or a gentle, low flame with its fuel regulator. It doesn’t have an igniter, so you’ll need a lighter - but that’s a piece of equipment you should carry anyway, and it helps keep this light and dependable.
