    Optimus Nova +

    Has anyone used the Optimus Nova+ multi fuel stove? If so is it any good? I currently use the MSR Whisperlite. It's a good stove but has no flame control. Great for boiling up water but you cannot simmer with it and it has to be constantly watched to avoid the flame going out or the food...
