And if you guys happen to have too much time on your hands, you can also create a public list at DaWanda and let us know what you'd like especially. Otherwise I'll just buy something orange. :) Excellent idea!

]]> Comment on Comparison test: Primus OmniFuel and Optimus Nova+ by Markus from Sweden http://www.as-orange-as-always.com/archives/comparison-test-primus-omnifuel-and-optimus-nova/comment-page-1#comment-17064 Markus from Sweden Thu, 17 Nov 2011 21:37:07 +0000 http://www.robinclarke.net/?p=140#comment-17064 Well-written comparison. I just wanted to add that while Primus is still a Swedish company, now owned by the Fenix outdoor group, Optimus has been bought up by the international firm Katadyn and outsourced the stove-making to China - which might explain the quality issues and full recall of the nova stoves a couple of years ago. Primus are having their omnifuels made in Estonia, maybe the rest of their stoves too, but I'm not sure. So in conclusion, you might say neither of the stoves are Swedish, or that both were designed in Sweden, or that the Omnifuel is at least more Swedish than the not-at-all Swedish Nova. The Primus people are very nice and answer questions both on email and on their facebook site. If anyone manages to get hold of Katadyns stove guys and gals I will be surprised.

Production appears to be moved to another manufacturer now: http://www.optimusstoves.com/fileadmin/user_upload/optimus/Downloads/Optimus_Recall_FAQs.pdf Looks like yours might have been one of these.

Got a great cookbook from a restaurant we we went to many times, and have been making curry paste myself since. Tomorrow I'm cooking red Thai curry and Tom Yam soup for work! Food was great.
