With the OPTIMUS Gemini Double Burner, the Katadyn Group launches a true game-changer for the outdoor market. The clever double burner stove impresses with high performance, minimal weight, and extremely compact design. Its outstanding features have already won over the international juries of this year’s ISPO and Outdoor Retailer Innovation Awards. Outdoor enthusiasts can look forward to the first units arriving in stores beginning in June 2021.

High performance, a trailblazing lightweight construction made of durable, high-quality materials, and a patented compact design are the hallmarks of the new OPTIMUS Gemini Double Burner. Ideal for simultaneously preparing different meals, rapidly boiling water, or constant simmering for several hours, the OPTIMUS Gemini brings new flexibility to outdoor cooking. Two hand controls allow the flame height to be infinitely varied separately 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. In combination with a separate adapter, the latest addition to the OPTIMUS family is even compatible with LPG cylinders. Its small footprint and light weight make the OPTIMUS Gemini the ideal companion for any outdoor adventure where delicious food is a priority. 

In January, the new double burner caused a stir in the outdoor industry when the international juries of the ISPO and Outdoor Retailer Innovation Awards chose the OPTIMUS Gemini as a Winner. Outdoor enthusiasts can discover the Gemini and its advantages for themselves in June 2021 when the first units are expected to arrive in stores.
