Small set

by JC, Updated on August 11, 2015

Gas control valve is too sensitive. Turn a bit, wild flames, turn a bit, it's off.

This little machine is all that you need. It will boil water in just a few min. or you can prepare a meal and simmer. I have a jet boil, although it is great at boiling water, i missed the ability to cook a meal which require a little more flame control. The ability to use it with a small canister, and small cup allowed me to reduce the weight for a short one night trip. The co...

Almost perfect!

by Jim, from OH, United States Updated on September 13, 2019

All items are 100% functional to their individual characteristics and limits. The pot in the aluminum HE cook set had two very small "dents" in the bottom, and corresponding imperfections in the inside non-stick finish. They are of no consequence regarding performance and minor compared to what will likely happen over time and use. Boil time for 16z of tap water with a full ...

Very impressed

by Fergus the hike, Updated on April 30, 2018

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 ten...

Sweet!

by duane m., from AZ, United States Updated on April 3, 2015

This stove is just what I was looking for. Wanted to stay away from jet boil after seeing a friend replace it 3 times in a year. This set is awesome and there is enough space inside the cook set to keep a zippy and/or fire starter. Happy with my purchase so far

Questions & Answers for Optimus Crux W/terra Weekend He Cookset

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

Expert Answer

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.

Q Can someone verify the weight for this entire setup? I've checked several other sites and the pots alone weigh 9.7oz without the stove (3.2oz).

The whole set, including the mesh storage bag, weighs around .95 lb (15 oz)

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

Expert Answer

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.
