Tough bit of kit.
By Carl
I've been using the Crusader Cooker for a couple of weeks now and and very pleased I purchased it. It's always in my pack now and is great for making an impromptu brew mid trek.BCB recommend you use GreenHeat Gel with the cooker (not included in the kit) which personally I'm not a fan of after using it. I have found that one packet of GreenHeat will just about bring half a cup of water to the boil so for a rolling boil you would have to use two packets. I'm also not a fan of the smell of GreenHeat either so I've moved onto using solid fuel tabs instead as they last longer, boil faster and don't smell as much.One other thing to note is that the description for the item states "Folding Spork stainless steel (as listed on website)" as part of the kit, I didn't receive a folding spork as part of mine.Apart from that, a great, flexible bit of kit that is now part of my standard kit every time I go walking.

Compact, practical and tough.
By Richard Williams
I have been using the BCB Crusader for about 6 months now and have been very pleased with the system. The whole kit packs very nicely into its case and provides a basic set for two people to enjoy a hot drink or meal. There is room in the case for some other articles, I take a magnifier (for map reading or using the sun to ignite a fire) a few British Army matches and spare fuel gel.The stove is easy to deploy in seconds and its great advantage is its multi fuel capability. Fuel gel is the suggested fuel, this has the advantage of not transmitting smells to food. Having tried out gel, though, I use only as a back up now. I think the boil time quoted is a little optimistic, more like 10 mins for 500ml. I use a homemade penny stove, made from two cider cans. This stove fits snugly into the burner well of the stove and provides a faster boil and the ability to simmer food. The stove gives excellent wind protection, whatever the fuel used. A pot hanger for cooking directly over a fire is included in the kit.The water bottle is very tough and I fill this before setting out in case clean water is not available. The bottle fits snugly into the metal cup, the plastic cup fits over the top of the bottle. There is a cover which fits over the metal cup/cook pot but I never use this whilst cooking as the plastic is too easy to melt, especially when using over a fire. It is good to pop over the cup though, when boiling is finished, to keep a drink warmer for longer. Another cover to fit the plastic cup would be useful.All in all a cracking piece of kit for walkers, motorcyclists, campers and anyone else that needs hot drinks and food fast, using a kit that takes little room.

By A. Moss
This cookset has it all: robust, large capacity and versatile. The stove itself isn't good for anything more than boiling small amounts of water but the mugs are great for general purpose eating and drinking. The non-stick coating flakes off easily so I'd get the stainless steel option next time and don't use it with the plastic lid on a fire. The bottle is excellent as is the way the mugs fit around it.
