You can't see it in the product photo, but the shipping version of this stove has an on/off knob built onto the pump near the shank/sleeve that connects to the fuel line hose. I have an older version of this stove (all silver...no black...no green...2005 model, I believe...) that does not have such a knob built into the pump. The only on/off is controlled via the simmer lever on the burner and the orientation of the bottle itself. Why the triple-redundant on/off functionality? (On/off based on the orientation of the bottle...on/off based on the state of the knob on the pump....on/off based on the state of the simmer lever on the burner...) Also, the version that I has different connector shank...it firmly snaps into place...no need to twist, like you have to with this version. The first time I tried this version it leaked whitegas from that twist shank...not cool. question_118004 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:34:42 GMT I have a 25 year old Optimus backpacking stove that uses a propane/butane http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Optimus-Crux-Stove/OPS0001M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_117388#question_117388 Optimus Crux Stove I have a 25 year old Optimus backpacking stove that uses a propane/butane cartiridge that has to be punctured by the stove "nipple".
