I have two of the Crusader stoves. The steel one has a smaller 'cup' than the PTFE coated one. It's quite loose in the black stove and quite tight in the steel one.
Really, that's surprising.
I just bought an extra Vargo Triad off ebay to serve as the dedicated amputee, and since my Crusader stove is PTFE coated, I may have to build up the OD of the stove with some aluminized tape to keep it from rattling around during storage.
If anything I would have expected the stove would have been more loose in the uncoated stove (due to the slight thickness buildup of the PTFE coating). Perhaps your steel stove is of an earlier (or more recent) design.
I happened to get a spare steel cup and cooker out of my order.
Did Best Glide mess up your order, or were they simply running a promotion that I somehow missed?
