Hi, please can you summarise the key differences between the Omnifuel I and II? I can see that weight is the most significant, but is there anything else worth noting before buying? Regards, Andy

Hi Andrew,
It’s lighter, has made improvements on minor issues with the original, and kept all the things great about the original, except in one minor aspect: that lightness comes with just a little shaving of the thickness of the pot stand/legs.
It is still very rugged. Certainly tougher than the OmniLite, but the pot stand does have just a little more torsional give than the pot stand legs of the original.
The heat shield seems now slightly thinner, and has form fitting cutouts for the fuel rod, so there isn’t any movement.
The heat shield also has an imprint of the bolt descriptions in case you forget what each jet bolt (nozzle, nipple) is for. They also added dots to make the jet bolts easier to identify. One dot for LPG, two dots for white gas/unleaded, and three dots for kerosene, diesel, jet fuel.
The mechanism to open the stove has been changed and is now more secure.
The leg also now holds the spare jet bolts (a.k.a. nozzle, nipple).
In terms of function, they are identical.
Thanks Adrian, that is a perfect response and tells me everything I need to make my purchase. Regards, Andy
