Description
BCB MKII Crusader Cooking System (CN014B) – 6 Piece Military Field Cooking Set
The BCB MKII Crusader Cooking System (CN014B) is the updated and improved version of the original, battle-proven Crusader cooking set. Designed to meet the demands of modern military and outdoor users, the MKII version delivers reduced weight, increased capacity and faster cooking performance.
Manufactured from high-grade aluminium with a hard-anodised finish, the Crusader Cooker MKII is lighter, more durable and easier to clean than its predecessor. The system is optimised to fit around a NATO-standard canteen and packs neatly into the supplied pouch for efficient transport.
When used with BCB Fire Dragon fuel, the system can boil 500 ml of water with an MRE retort ration in approximately 5.5 minutes. This makes it an ideal solution for field operations, training, bushcraft and extended outdoor use.
