Post by: RedLeader on November 15, 2012

Santa's considering treating me to a multi fuel stove. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

I like the look of the Optimus Nova. No experience with them though.

Get one the same as mine, optimus nova plus. Simple, no messing with jets etc just fuel in and go. Yes ok it won’t burn gas like others but they are not really designed for this anyway. I will say that they all tale a while to use and getting acquainted to the foibles of mulitfuel stoves can take a bit of time.

It has been used on numerous times in the hills and on two expeditions with never missing a beat. It is one of the few items of kit I would instantly re buy if it broke.
