Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves
Summary: These basic stoves that are lightweight can use hexamine, wood white fuel, white fuel, and gas canisters through one nozzle. These stoves are popular during cold weather, however they can be noisy and do not have simmer control.
Some multi-fuel stoves are hybrids, capable of burning multiple kinds of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal can be used with both white and isobutane fuel canisters.
Optimus Nova
The Optimus Nova multi-fuel stove can be used for a variety liquid fuels. It has a quick priming burner, self-purging aluminum pump, and a precise simmer control. Its low center of gravity and large spreading legs make it a solid stove that can be used on hard ground. This makes it an ideal stove for group backpacking base camps, kayaking, and arctic camping.
Unlike many other liquid fuel stoves which have a problem in which unburned fuel is left in the fuel line and the nozzle of the stove the Optimus Nova has a shut off mechanism that operates by simply flipping the container over. This removes the intake hose from the fuel, forcing it to draw air into the stove, which extinguishes the flame and depressurizes the bottle.
This seems like a fairly clever solution to a long-standing problem and it definitely works. The Nova can be used with a range of regular fuel bottles that are sealed with an o-ring, including MSR bottles. It also comes with a full-featured stove bag that includes separate pockets for tools, spare parts, lubricant and the fuel pump.
This is an excellent all-round backpacking stove that is suitable for use in the UK especially for long-distance trips where a variety of fuels is essential. Its price is also very affordable when compared with canister stoves that have similar capabilities. Moreover the Optimus Nova is easy to maintain and enjoyable to use.
Kovea Hydra
The Kovea Hydra multi fuel stove defra approved fuel stove was first introduced in 2010 and has been a favourite choice for many backpackers since. The Hydra isn't as well-known among UK backpackers possibly because they've gained popularity with brands that are more well-known or the most recent lightweight options from China or Korea. But this doesn't mean that it's less useful.
It is a lightweight and compact stove that can burn all liquid fuels, including white gas, propane butane, and white gas through only one nozzle. It's a pretty standard stove design, with an ignition bell that is bolted onto the body, which is then anchored by three support legs that fold out. A pump sits on top of the fuel hose and the generator loop runs around the inlet, and the flame spreader is situated above that. The burner itself is a low velocity flame type, which allows it to be less impacted by wind.
A nice feature is that it can also be utilized with a canister of propane or isobutane which makes it a versatile little cooker. It's simple to simmer on isobutane or propane and burns all fuel types with a decent amount of heat, but is a bit slower than other stoves when you use white gas.
The instructions for the Hydra are written in English, but they were not written by native users of the language. The instructions caution against the use of certain types of lighter fluids that if used in a manner that is not what is intended could result in an accident that could land Kovea in a lot of legal hot water. Any gas canister that is 7/16ths UNEF-threaded of a trusted brand will work fine.
Primus OmniLite Ti
Primus Omnilite Ti can be an excellent choice for those who are seeking a multifuel cooker that can cook using a variety of fuels. It can be used with petrol/gasoline, gas, or diesel, kerosene and aviation fuel. It comes with separate controls for each fuel type and also adjust the flame size. This stove comes with an fuel pipe that sits flat on the floor and can be connected to the tank easily.
The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it needs maintenance to ensure it is operating correctly. Particularly it is prone to flare when priming which can be dangerous. This is a problem that occurs with all stoves with liquid fuel that use a secondary spindle throttle at the stove end to evaporate fuel instead of a generator coil.
Another issue is the fact that it requires different jets for each kind of fuel. If you cook using kerosene, the jet hole will be smaller than if you were using gas. It's not a major issue however it's something to be aware of.
MSR Whisper Lite
The MSR Whisper Lite is one of the lightest, smallest and cheapest multi fuel stoves. It is also easy to repair in the field. It can run on either canister liquid gas or fuel and comes with attachments for both. The new design is lighter by 10% over its predecessor and the burner system was revamped to improve heat distribution. This is a great choice for backpackers on a tight budget or those who are just beginning.
It takes some time to install, prime, and boil water but the whistler Lite is a reliable camping stove that will not let you down. The flame is powerful and can easily boil one liter of water within two minutes. The only issue is that it does not simmer as well as other stoves.
This is the reason MSR has designed the Dragonfly stove, which is a more capable simmering burner. It is similar in design as the whistler, but it is more compact and has better performance. It's not as cheap multifuel stoves as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative, providing the same setup at less than half the price. You can also purchase a Whisperlite International or Universal for isobutane canisters too. The same design is used for both, but the Universal version can also be run with canister fuel as well.
Coleman Sportster II
Like many Coleman stoves, this one is a no frills unpretentious unit that will get the job done. It's compact, self-contained and solid with the tank at the bottom and the burner on top. This makes it easy to use and a good choice for those who are new to backpacking, looking to reduce weight and those of us who keep a few spares in the van.
This stove is designed to burn Coleman's proprietary fuel (naptha, also known as "white gas") but can be used with unleaded gas too. A gallon of gasoline will last as long as a standard Coleman liquid fuel cylinder, which means you'll save money on fuel with this alternative.
Liquid fuel stoves come with a learning curve as you'll need to pressurize and prepare them to get a nice blue flame going. If you're not careful, fuel can get into the tank, splash outside the burner, or sputter. To master this try it out in the open before your excursion.
The stove will suffer some of its performance and effectiveness if you use non-Coleman fuels. However, this is a trade-off for its versatility. Be sure to buy gasoline that isn't leaded and not that is enriched with methanol or ethanol (alcohol). These kinds of fuels can cause the unit's performance to decline and even explode.
ATG Jiko
The ATG Jiko inset multi fuel stove-fuel stove from South Africa (formerly known as the Jiko) is a lightweight multifuel stove specifically designed for harsh conditions like Africa. It's an extremely compact and reliable all-in-one system that burns solid fuel, alcohol, tabs and also gels through only one nozzle. It's a minimalist and ultralight design that is priced lower than other multifuel stoves. Fuel is also cheaper per liter than gas canisters.
Other multifuel stoves come with a distinct nozzle per fuel type. This makes them a little difficult to change in bad weather or with gloves and can add to their weight. The newer types of multifuel stoves have discovered an option to use the same nozzle to ignite various fuels, which makes it easier. The latest models of these stoves are referred to as 'hybrid' or "compressed multifuel stoves'. there are many names for them like isobutane canister fuel, white gas, kerosene and unleaded gasoline/car petrol.
Another option is to purchase a multifuel stove that can convert your regular Trangia burner into a multifuel cooker. These are often available at camping stores that specialize in camping and can be purchased internationally. They're a great choice for Trangia fans and they're capable of burning all liquid fuels, with the exception of diesel and if fitted with the right equipment can even cook.
