Optimus Hiker + multifuel Stove review, Plus, new model 111 series

Optimus newest base-camp box stove, the Hiker + with Nova burner. Been out a few years now but the high costs kept me from purchasing one before now. Picked this one up from ebay. The seller, poor_fish put this brand new Hiker + on my door-step a mere 7 days after pushing the buy it now button. Price was $134 with shipping. (great seller by the way & he's got more of these Hiker + stoves) Can't beat that so I had Inga buy it for me for Christmas. She said are you kidding me? Another stove?

So far I am happy with the it. I've ran 2 full tanks through it in testing and it has performed flawlessly (knock on wood). We made espresso this morning and warmed up some home made clam chowder. Yum. I think this will be my new camping & knock around stove. The Nova+ burner is a real cooker. No complaints. The quality seems to be as good as the vintage Hiker 111 Optimus and the modern Nova burner makes this a winning combination. I know allot of the vintage stove purist have been less than enamored by Optimus's newest offerings. I should know I was one of them, but you know what? Things change and 20 years from now people will be collecting and coveting these Hiker +'s. Watch the video and see what you think.
