Optimus Nova
Multi-Fuel Expedition Pack Stove

by Brunton (NOVA)

The NOVA stove combines durability with ease of use for the perfect mountain cooking experience. After reading through this page, you will understand why the Nova has been an award winner, and why other pack stoves just don't measure up.

Innovative, compact design

The stainless steel body opens from compact packability to become a solid pot support. The top surface of the arms is serrated to help keep your cookware in place. The curved stainless steel arms fold down around the burner for easy storage. See dimensions below.

When extended, the arms snap into place to make set-up quick and easy. Each foot features a hole for a ground peg if extra stability desired. The Nova's stable footprint diameter is matched by an equivalent pot surface diameter.

Precise cooking control

The Nova features several innovations that make using a liquid fuel stove more about the food than the stove. The Nova's output is controlled by a long armed control valve that keeps your hands away from the burner and cookware. The valve precisely controls the fuel supply at the burner, allowing the Nova to react quickly giving you better control over your cooking.

Advanced multi-fuel system

The patented brass NOVA burner uses the same jet for all fuel types, primes quickly and simmers beautifully, whether you are using white gas or diesel fuel. The innovative and patented magnetic cleaning system allows you to clean the jet by just moving the repair tool under the stove, so you never need to stop cooking, saving precious fuel. The cleaning needle rises through the jet orifice, pushing debris out of the jet. Unlike traditional prickers that simply push debris back down into the fuel line.

When travelling, particularly outside North America, the Nova frees you from the need to find a particular type of fuel. Coleman fuel, white gas/petrol, kerosene/paraffin, diesel oil, methylated alcohol/spirits...chances are you will be able to find fuel just about anywhere.

The aluminum flipstop pump makes turning off the stove and purging the fuel line to be a simple procedure...simply turn the fuel bottle over! In about 2 minutes, the system self-purges, and will release air pressure from the fuel tank. A simple, but safe way to prepare your stove for travel.

fuel bottle & pump
repair/cleaning tool
custom carry pouch
