The Optimus Gemini Stove

The multi award winning Optimus Gemini double burner impresses greatly with high performance, minimal weight and a generously compact design.
High performance, a trailblazing lightweight construction made of durable, high-quality materials and an innovative, patented compact design are the hallmarks of the Optimus Gemini stove. Ideal for preparing multiple dishes, rapidly boiling water or constant simmering for several hours, the Gemini brings new flexibility to outdoor cooking. Two separate hand controls allow the flame power to be varied independently for each burner head, while the integrated pressure control valve  stabilises the flame throughout the cooking process. This allows for precise cooking with efficient energy consumption. Raised edges protect the flames from wind and fold out legs on both sides ensure optimum stability even when using large pots. Its small footprint and light weight make the Optimus Gemini the ideal companion for any outdoor adventure where delicious food is a priority.
