      Comments about Crux w/Terra Weekend HE Cook Set:

      Decided to go ultra light after 5 days in the Bridger with a 75lb pack. Down to 23lbs now and it feels like freedom! Volume is almost as important as weight and the Optimus Crux is the best I've found in both areas.

        Comments about Crux w/Terra Weekend HE Cook Set:

        This is a very compact unit, well designed and you can fit a lighter, wind shield, snow peak spork and chopsticks inside with a bit of thought. I only use it for boiling water, rather than cooking directly in the pot/saucepan. The plastic covered handles may melt with time, but so far so good. The only con is that the way in which it is packaged from the factory. The burner tends to move around causing some superficial stratching. Also take care it takes longer to cool down than you think. Great hiking

        • Crux w/Terra Weekend HE Cook Set

          Q:

          Does the Crux w/Terra Weekend HE specifically require Optimus butane/propane gas canisters or is it compatible with other brands of gas canisters??
          Thanks

            A:

            Optimus would recommend using their fuel, however the mixtures are so similar from brand to brand that you could use any canister with small threads.

          Q:

          Hi,
          I was wondering what the difference between this system and the Optimus Crux Lite w/ Terra solo cook set is.

            A:

            The Crux w/Terra Weekend HE Cook Set has a larger cooking pot(0.95 L) and the pot also has a heat exchanger. The stove is also a little heavier than the Crux Lite.

            The Crux Lite w/Terra Solo Cook Set has a smaller cooking pot(0.6 L) which has no heat exchanger. The Crux Lite weighs less than the normal Crux Stove.

            The Optimus Crux Weekend HE Cook System combines the Crux stove and Weekend HE Cook Set. The Crux Lite w/Terra Solo Cook Set combines the Crux stove and the Solo Cook Set. The Solo Cook set comes with a 0.6 L saucepan. The Weekend Cook Set comes with a 0.95 L saucepan. The main difference between the 2 sets is the size of the saucepan in the cook set.

        Technology Used In The Crux w/Terra Weekend HE Cook Set

        Canister Stoves

        Canister stoves include both a pressurized fuel canister and a burner that attaches directly to the canister which doubles as a support base. Because canisters come pressurized, and lack a pump mechanism, low fuel quantity or varying temperatures can affect the performance of the stove. Canister stoves also lack the efficiency of a liquid fuel stove due to the loss of heat caused by wind. For safety reasons, most top mount canister stoves are not compatible with wind screens. Price and ease of use are definite advantages of the canister stove when compared with liquid fuel stoves.
