Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These simple stoves are lightweight and can use hexamine, wood white fuel, as well as gas canisters through one nozzle. These stoves are popular in colder weather, but they are noisy and lack the ability to control the simmer.

Certain multi-fuel stoves can burn different 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 various liquid fuels. It has a quick-priming burner as well as an aluminium pump that self-purges, and a precise control of the simmer. Its low center of gravity and large spreading legs make it a sturdy stove that can be used on uneven ground. This makes it a perfect stove for base camps for groups, kayaking, and Arctic camp.

The Optimus Nova is different from other stoves using liquid fuel which have issues with unburned fuel lingering in the fuel line or nozzle. This can be resolved by flipping over the bottle. This disconnects the intake hose from the fuel, causing it to draw in air, which smothers the flame and decreases the pressure of the bottle.

This is a pretty ingenious solution for an age-old issue and it's effective. The Nova can be used with any standard fuel bottle with an o-ring seal, including MSR bottles. It also comes with a full-featured stove bag that includes separate pockets for spare parts, tools and lubricant, as well as the fuel pump.

This is an excellent all-round backpacking stove that is suitable for use in the UK, particularly for expeditions in which a variety of fuels is required. The price is affordable when compared to canister stoves that have similar capabilities. Additionally, the Optimus Nova is easy to maintain and a pleasure to use.

Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra multi fuel wood burning stoves fuel stove was first introduced in 2010 and has been a favourite choice for backpackers since. Fewer UK backpackers seem to give the stove much attention these days, possibly having caught up with better known brands or whatever the latest lightweight product from China or Korea is but that doesn't mean that the Hydra isn't still a great stove with its merits.

It's a compact and light stove, that can burn all liquid fuels including white gas and propane butane, using 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 fold out support legs. The pump is above the fuel line, while the generator loop runs around the inlet, and the flame spreader sits over. The burner itself is a low velocity flame type that allows it to be less impacted by winds.

One of the best features is that it can also be used with a container of isobutane or propane, making it a versatile small cooker. It is easy to simmer with isobutane and propane and it burns all types of fuels at a good rate. However when using white gas, the stove is a little slower.

The instructions for the Hydra are written in English, but they were not written by native users of the language. The instructions warn against the use of certain kinds of lighter fluid, which if mistaken for what is actually intended can result in an accident that could result in Kovea in a lot of hot legal water. Any gas canister that is 7/16ths UNEF-threaded of a reputable brand will work perfectly.

Primus OmniLite Ti

Primus Omnilite Ti can be a great choice for those who are looking for a multifuel cookware that can cook with 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 allows you to alter the size of the flame. This stove has an oil pipe that is flat on the floor and is connected to the tank easily.

The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it needs maintenance to ensure it is operating efficiently. In particular it is prone to flare during priming, which could be risky. This issue occurs with all liquid fuel stoves that use a second spindle on the stove end instead of an evaporator to cool the fuel.

Another issue is that it requires different jets for every type of fuel. This means that if you cook on kerosene, the jet hole has to be smaller than when using gas. It's a minor inconvenience however it's something to be aware of.

MSR Whisper Light

The MSR Whisper Lite stove is one of the lightest, smallest and most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also very easy to repair in the field. It is able to be used with canister fuel or liquid gas and comes with attachments for each. The new model is lighter by 10% compared to its predecessor and the burner system was revamped to improve the distribution of heat. This is a great choice for backpackers with a limited budget or beginners.

The whistler Lite requires a bit of time to set up and prime, then boil water, but it's a reliable stove that will never let you down. The flame is powerful and can easily boil one liter of water within two minutes. The only drawback is that it's not as good for simmering as other stoves.

MSR developed the Dragonfly to be a better burner. It has a similar design like the whistler, but it is more compact and has more performance. It's not as inexpensive as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative, providing a similar setup for less than half the cost. Whisperlite International and Universal can be used with isobutane. The same fundamental design is used in both, but the Universal version can be run with canister fuel as well.

Coleman Sportster II

Like many Coleman stoves, this is a basic unpretentious unit that will get the job done. It's solid compact and self-contained, with the tank on the bottom and burner up top. This makes it easy to use and is a great option for backpackers, beginners looking to reduce weight and those who have spares in the van.

This stove is designed to burn Coleman's proprietary fuel (naptha, also known as "white gas") however it can be used with unleaded gas too. This will save you money as a gallon of gasoline can last longer than the regular Coleman liquid fuel cylinder.

It takes some practice to get a good blue flame on a stove with liquid fuel. You'll have to pressurize them and prime them properly before you can start. If you don't do it right your fuel may be sprayed, pool, or splash over the burner, or even splash out. Practice outside before taking it on your trip to learn how to do it.

This stove sacrifices some performance or flame odor efficiency with non-coleman fuels however that's a trade off for the extra flexibility it offers. Make sure you purchase unleaded gas and not something that's enriched with alcohol or Methanol. This is because these types of fuel can cause the unit to be sputtering, leaky, and possibly even explode!

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko multi fuel stoves for sale near me Fuel Stove from South Africa is an ultralight multifuel engineered for harsh environments like Africa. It's a compact and robust stove that burns gels, solid fuel tabs and alcohol with a single nozzle. It's a light minimalist design that is priced less than other multifuel stoves, and also has low ownership cost with fuel being less expensive per Liter than gas canisters.

Other multifuel stoves use a separate nozzle for each type of fuel. This makes them a little fiddly to change over in cold weather or using gloves, and adds to their weight. The newest models of multifuel stoves have found ways to use the same nozzle to ignite multiple fuels which is much simpler. The latest models of these stoves are known as 'hybrid' or 'compressed fuel multifuel stoves' and there are various names for them like isobutane canister fuel white gas, kerosene and unleaded gasoline/car petrol.
