Gas or multi-fuel? Many people who cook in the outdoors choose a gas stove because of its simplicity. You don't have to fill it with fuel, it's quick to light, and easy to control. These benefits can be found in the entire Optimus gas stove range with added features such as 4 season mode and innovative folding burner heads. A multi-fuel stove gives you the flexibility of using different fuels throughout the world.

"Optimus multi-fuel stoves include features such as magnetic cleaning needles and Powerline™ control valve which uses the fuel hose as an extension to the valve."
