they hardly look used lol, I can never get my stoves and pots looking that shiny, no matter how hard i scrub. Nice kit there, looking into getting a remote canister or petrol stove, but don't want to spend a fortune. Any suggestions Jakob?
Got myself one of these a couple of years ago. Multifuel Stove.
I was sceptical at the time, especially as they were a lot cheaper then, but it's a brilliant little stove, runs on unleaded fuel amonst loads of other stuff and packs down pretty small.

Wow, thanks martin, I shall go peruse the item, Is it shiny, I hope it's shiny lol
yes, I saw that when I was looking before, and like you said I was sceptical when I saw it, but if you have used it and found it to be fine I may give it a go, Thanks again mate.

Martin's stove is a copy of the Optimus NOVA. From the photos it looks to be an allright copy - but, as always when dealing with a device that runs on pressurised highly flammable liquids: Go for the big brands! The main fault of cheaper multifuel burners are often leaks where the different parts are joined, a lit stove with a leaking fuel supply is potentially very dangerous.
Even the big brands make faulty burners from time to time though; last year, Optimus had to recall more than a year's production of NOVA and NOVA+ stoves due to faulty o-rings. I got mine just after they opened up for sale again, mine had a sticker saying that it had gone through secondary inspection and replacement of the o-rings.

lifes good ,but even sweeter under the stars
I understand what you're saying Jakob and, like I said, I was sceptical, but I've really not had any problems with this stove. In fact, due to my ignorance of using this type of stove, when I first got it I pumped it up turned it up to maximum and tried to light it. Now, this resulted in a sort of fire ball which wouldn't have been so bad but I was trying it out in my garage at home.This also resulted in my damaging the fuel hose because it caught fire but a quick email to the seller saw them send me a replacement hose within a few days, free of charge, from Hong Kong. You've just got to love those Chinese guys, great cooks and very generous.
Once I learned my lesson (the house is still intact) I made sure I primed it properly and since then I've not had a minute's trouble with the stove. It's very reliable and easy to use, although it is a bit noisy when it's running.
Anyway, maybe I've been lucky but I can vouch for my copy and for the seller who gave me very good service.
