Crusader Cooker MK II, the heart of the system

This is the Crusader Cooker MK II base on its own, the folding stove that sits at the centre of BCB’s famous Crusader cooking system. If your original cooker is worn out, or you want to build the system up piece by piece, this is the part you need. It cradles the Crusader mug and turns a fuel tablet into a hot brew in minutes.

Built to take the heat

The cooker is pressed from hard anodised aluminium, so it is noticeably lighter than a steel stand and far easier to wipe clean after a muddy weekend. The folding handle tucks away for transport and doubles as a rest for your mug while you cook, a small touch that makes a real difference on uneven ground.

Efficient burn, faster boil

A central internal chimney and a ring of vent holes channel air straight to the flame. That keeps combustion clean, feeds the fire steadily and traps heat around the mug so you get the most from every Fire Dragon sachet or hexamine tablet.

Fuel your choice

Run it on BCB Fire Dragon gel for a clean, controllable flame, or drop in standard hexamine tablets when you want the classic solid fuel setup. Either way it packs down flat and nests with the rest of the Crusader kit. Browse more field kit in our tactical gear range.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include the mug and canteen?

No. This listing is the Crusader Cooker MK II base only, ideal as a replacement or an upgrade for anyone who already owns the mug and water bottle.

What fuel does it use?

It is designed for BCB Fire Dragon gel sachets and standard hexamine tablets, and it also takes most solid fuel blocks.

Will it fit the older Crusader mug?

The MK II cooker is built around the Crusader mug system and nests with the current 1 litre mug for compact storage.

Is aluminium safe for the flame?

Yes. The hard anodised aluminium tolerates cooking heat, sheds soot easily and stays lighter than a steel equivalent.

Why the internal chimney?

The central chimney and vent holes feed air to the flame, boosting burn efficiency and helping retain heat around the mug for faster boils.
