Optimus Gemini Double Stove

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

This innovative twin stove design brings convenience to your camp kitchen set up. The Gemini uses a single, remote canister and allows you to use one or two burners depending on what you need. Ideal for small groups and shared cooking.

Optimus says

The multiple award-winning OPTIMUS Gemini Double Burner impresses with high performance, minimal weight and extremely 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 Double Burner. 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 stabilizes 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.

Our Verdict

Optimus’s Gemini Double Stove is an excellent stove option for anyone who loves to cook, goes out with small groups or simply wants more convenience with their camp kitchen set up. Using a single, remote gas canister the Gemini gives you the choice of using a single or two separate burners at the same time. It still uses the classic folding legs design that allows it to pack down and take up less space but in reality it still weighs 790g and measures over 30cm in length when packed.

The stove performs really well, as you’d expect from Optimus. The design is obviously more suited to small groups where one stove is not enough. Taking this out on a solo trip probably wouldn’t be worth the weight unless you were desperate to cook multiple things at once. The burners have separate controls so you can be precise with the heat when cooking and the whole set up is surprisingly economical in terms of the amount of gas it uses. The integrated windshield makes a huge difference in particularly windy conditions.
