The Optimus Nova Multifuel is the stove by which all others are measured. The Optimus Nova is a truly technical stove that excels in extreme conditions. Features include a patented burner technology that radically reduces preheating time and makes the stove quick to light, giving you a full roaring flame in just seconds, or a low simmer at any altitude.
The Nova is also easy to set up and free of tricky assembly procedures or loose parts. The turbine shaped legs offer stable support on soft and uneven terrain but collapse to a small package when it's time for the trail. Multifuel technology allows use of Optimus Arctic Fuel, white gas, auto gas/petrol, kerosene, diesel, jet fuel and others. You should have no trouble finding fuel anywhere in the world. And how about the burn time, 2.5 hours at high output!
Stove and pump weigh 15.1 oz, and produce about 9700 BTUs. The magic magnetic cleaning needle enables you to clean while you cook, while the precision simmering control keeps you from burning the sauces. Fuel bottles sold separately.
