What stove to use with a breman sea swing...modern omni fuel or Optima 45

I have a breman sea swing on my boat, I was originally looking at putting a optimus 45 in it, which is what it was designed for, but then I thought, why not use a modern multi fuel stove like the primus omni fuel...I saw a post elsewhere where it was suggested to mount the fuel canister in a bike water bottle holder, it burns kerosene. (Let's please not get into a fuel type discussion here..lol)
Has anyone done this? What do you use in your sea swing? How much was it and where did you get it?
Thanks

The Optimus can have alcohol or kerosene burner heads, kerosene more common by far. Kerosene is a good fuel once you learn to light and manage the burner, though I never really likes it personally. There is a special chimney that can be used over a sterno can. The sterno can can be filled with rolled up corrugated cardboard and refilled with stove alcohol instead of buying more sterno cans. One might adapt a one pound propane burner to hang below the unit like the Forespar Sea Cook.

It is advisable that the fuel be an acceptable to one's insurance policy underwriter. One probably should avoid any gasoline type fuels.
