Optimus says

We raised the standards so high with this versatile, award-winning stove that the Man in the Moon wants one. He can’t, but you’ll rejoice in this multitalented stove that takes nearly any fuel* you want to give it to make sure you have a warm meal … anytime, anywhere, any weather. You get superior, reliable, one-jet cooking performance with no fiddling to change nozzles or attachments. When using LP Gas canisters, just flip between 4 Season Mode in cold temps and the Efficiency Mode for other use. Need a little stove scrub? Shazam! With the integrated magnetic cleaning needle, you can do that too, even while cooking. Plus, get end-of-day yum in the tum quickly with the patented quick-priming burner.

* Endless choices! White gas, LP Gas, Gasoline, Kerosene, Diesel, Jet fuel

Our Verdict

With it’s single jet technology, the Optimus Polaris Optifuel Stove delivers excellent cooking performance with LPG Gas, White Gas, Keroscene, Diesel and Jet Fuel without having to change anything on the stove.

The patented quick-priming burner, the self purging aluminium pump and a built in magnetic cleaning needle ensures reliability and ease of use when liquid fuels are used. When using LPG Gas, you can switch between efficiency mode and 4 season mode (for usage at low ambient temperatures) by simply opening the integrated support legs and turning the canister upside down.
