Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves
Summary: These basic, lightweight stoves can burn wood, hexamine white fuel, white fuel, and gas canisters through one nozzle. They're popular in cold temperatures, but they're noisy and don't have a simmer limit.
Some multi-fuel stoves are hybrids, able to burn multiple kinds of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal can be used with both white and isobutane fuel containers.
Optimus Nova
The Optimus Nova is a multi-fuel stove that can be used with a variety of liquid fuels. It comes with a quick-priming stove as well as an aluminium pump that self-purges and precise simmer control. Its low centre of gravity and wide spreading legs make it a stable stove that can be used on hard ground. This makes it a great stove for backpacking groups, base camps, kayaking and Arctic camping.
The Optimus Nova is different from other liquid fuel stoves that are plagued by fuel that is not burned remaining in the fuel line or nozzle. This can be fixed by simply flipping over the bottle. This disconnects the intake hose from the fuel, forcing it to suck air which smothers the flame and depressurizes the bottle.
This is an ingenious solution to an old problem and it's a good one. The Nova can be used with any fuel bottle that has an o-ring seal, which includes MSR bottles. It comes with an oven bag that has pockets for tools, spares, 34630194.Xyz lubricant, and the fuel pump.
This is a great all-round stove for backpacking use in the UK especially for trips in which a variety of fuels is essential. Its cost is affordable when compared with canister stoves of similar capability. The Optimus Nova is also easy to maintain and fun to use.
Kovea Hydra
The Kovea Hydra multi fuel stove first came on the market in 2010 and has been a favorite choice for many backpackers since. A few UK backpackers pay the stove much attention these days, possibly having caught up with better known brands or whatever the latest lightweight stove from China or Korea is, but that doesn't mean that the Hydra does not have its merits.
It is a small and light stove that can burn all liquid fuels like propane butane, white gas, and white gas through only one nozzle. It's a typical stove design with an ignition bell that is bolted onto the body, which is then anchored by three fold out support legs. A pump is located on the top of the fuel hose and the generator loop runs around the inlet and the flame spreader is up above that. The burner is a slow-moving flame type. This makes it less affected by wind.
It's a remarkably versatile little cooker because it can be used with either propane canisters or isobutane. It is easy to simmer with isobutane as well as propane, and it burns all fuels at a reasonable rate. However when using white gas, the stove can be a little slower.
One thing to keep in mind when using the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English which was not written by an indigenous speaker of the language. The instructions warn against the use of certain types of lighter fluid, which if mistaken for Www.34630194.xyz what is actually intended can cause an accident that could land Kovea in lots of legal hot water. But that any 7/16ths UNEF threaded gas container from a trusted brand is likely to work perfectly.
Primus OmniLite Ti
Primus Omnilite Ti can be a great option for those looking for a multifuel cooker that can cook with a variety fuels. It can be used with petrol/gasoline, gasoline or diesel, kerosene, and aviation fuel. It has separate controls for each fuel type and allows you to adjust the flame size. The stove comes with a fuel pipe that is flat on the floor and is connected to the tank quickly.
The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it requires maintenance to keep it running correctly. Particularly it is prone to flare when priming which could be risky. This is a problem that occurs with all liquid fuel stoves that use a secondary spindle throttle at the stove's side to vaporize fuel, instead of the generator coil.
Another issue is that it requires different jets for each type of fuel. This means that if you're cooking using kerosene, the jet hole has to be smaller than when cooking with gas. This isn't a major issue but it's worth mentioning.
MSR Whisper Lite
The MSR Whisper Lite stove is one of the lightest, smallest and Www.34630194.xyz most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also very easy to repair in the field. It can be run on canister fuel or liquid gas and comes with attachments for both. The new design is 10percent lighter than its predecessor and the burner's system has been improved to ensure better heat distribution. This is an excellent choice for backpackers with a limited budget or those who are just beginning.
It takes a bit of time to install, prime, and 34630194.xyz; Www.34630194.xyz, boil water but the whistler Lite is a reliable camping stove that will not let you down. The flame is extremely powerful and can boil a liter of water within two minutes. The only downside is that it's not as efficient to simmer as other stoves.
MSR created the Dragonfly to be a more capable burner. It's a similar design to the whistler but is more compact and offers more performance. However it's not as affordable as the whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus stove and cookset is a great alternative that offers the same setup at half the price. Whisperlite International and Universal can be utilized with isobutane. The same basic design is used for both, but the Universal version can be used with canister fuel in addition.
Coleman Sportster II
This is a basic low-cost, no-frills Coleman stove that can do the job. It's strong and compact, and it's self-contained with the tank on the bottom and the burner up top. This makes it simple to use and a great option for backpackers, beginners who are looking to cut down on weight and for those who prefer to have an extra or two in the van.
This stove is designed to burn Coleman's exclusive fuel (naptha which is also referred to as "white gas") but it can be used with unleaded gas as well. A gallon of gasoline will last as long as a typical Coleman liquid fuel cylinder so you'll save money on fuel using this alternative.
Liquid fuel stoves have a steep learning curve as you'll need to properly pressurize and prepare them to create a beautiful blue flame. If you get it wrong your fuel may pool, spray beyond the burner, or sputter. Do some practice outside before going on your trip to learn how to do it.
The stove will suffer some performance and odor of the flame efficiency if you use non-Coleman fuels, but this is a trade-off for its versatility. Be sure to buy unleaded gasoline and not something that is enriched with methanol or ethanol (alcohol). These types of fuel can cause the unit's performance to decline and even explode.
ATG Jiko
The ATG Jiko Multi Fuel Stove from South Africa is an ultralight multifuel that's been designed to withstand harsh conditions like Africa. It's an efficient and compact all-in-one system that burns solid fuel, alcohol, tabs, and gels with a single nozzle.

Other multifuel stoves feature a separate nozzle for each type of fuel. This makes them fiddly to change over in the rain or without gloves, and could increase their weight. The newer types of multifuel stoves have found ways to use the same nozzle to ignite various fuels, which makes it easier. These stoves can be described as hybrids or compressed fuel multifuel stoves. They are also referred to by other names, such as white gas, isobutane kerosene and unleaded gasoline/car fuel.
Another option is to purchase a multifuel stove that can convert your regular Trangia burner into a multifuel cooker. These are available in camping stores that specialize in outdoor equipment and can be bought internationally. They are perfect for Trangia enthusiasts. They can burn all liquid fuels aside from diesel, and with the right accessories, they can also simmer.
