Description of Optimus Nova Stove:
|
The lightweight, compact, dependable Optimus Nova Stove takes on the harshest conditions from arctic travel to high-altitude mountaineering. It runs on white gas, Optimus arctic fuel, kerosene, diesel, and jet fuel, which is why it has become a popular choice for expedition travel where fuel may be limited. The Nova Stove's quick-priming gets a roaring flame going quickly, and the adjustable heat lets you simmer as well as boil. This burly white gas expedition stove weighs only 15 ounces and packs smaller than a fuel bottle. Get one for base camp and one to pack for your ultralight summit push.
|
|
Bottom Line: Boil water and cook your dinner in the highest, coldest places on earth with the Optimus Nova Stove.

| As in "FIRE"! This one won't quit. I take it everywhere. On a winter trip with temps hovering around the -2 degree mark, I was melting snow in about 2 minutes while my friends were still priming their stoves. On a trek last summer, in an area that resembled a scene from the movie Deliverance, I stopped in at a Maw and Paw shop looking to replenish my fuel supply. No Coleman fuel, no kero, and no siphon tube for Paw's ol' pickup truck. They did have Tiki Torch fuel, and it worked! I am sold. You'll be also. |

| I've had this stove now for about 3 years. Its worked in all kinds of Alaskan and Yukon conditions including lots of below zero deg F camping trips.
On a -15 deg F morning the thing could only pump out a lukewarm cup of coffee and a half liter of water. So when it warmed up I took the thing apart and removed a "wax" plug. I used the magnetic cleaning tool. The thing works like a champ now. If you are going to break you otta be easy to fix. And this stove is just that.
Great stove. |

| This is a good stove. Well built, and easy to use. If you get good enough at it, you can flip the fuel bottle over and it will bleed itself and go out when you are done. No bleeding of the fuel line... One of my buddies was trying to figure out how to rig up his MSR to do this. It is nice compact and easy to use. You can't go wrong with this optimus |
