Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These basic and lightweight stoves burn wood, hexamine tablets, white fuel and gas canisters via a single nozzle. These stoves are popular in cold weather, however they can be noisy and do not have simmer control.

Some multi-fuel stoves burn various types of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal can be used with white and isobutane canisters for fuel.

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova multi-fuel stove can be used for a variety of liquid fuels. It features a quick-priming burner, a self-purging aluminium pump and precise simmer control. Its low center of gravity and wide legs make it a sturdy stove that is rock-solid. This makes it an ideal stove for backpacking groups, base camps, kayaking, and arctic camping.

Contrary to many other stoves that use liquid fuel, which suffer from a problem where 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 flipping the bottle over. This removes the intake hose from the fuel, causing it to suck air that extinguishes the flame. It also decreases the pressure of the bottle.

This is an clever solution to a long-standing problem and it definitely is effective. The Nova can be used with any standard fuel bottle that has an o-ring seal. This includes MSR bottles. It comes with a stove bag that includes pockets for spares, tools, lubricant, and the fuel pump.

This is an excellent backpacking stove that is suitable for use in the UK. It is especially suitable for trips where many fuel types are required. Its price is also very reasonable when compared to canister stoves with similar capabilities. Additionally, the Optimus Nova is easy to maintain and a pleasure to use.

Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra multi fuel stove first came on the market in 2010 and has been a favourite choice for backpackers since. The Hydra isn't as popular with UK backpackers anymore, perhaps because they have been able to catch up with more well-known brands or the most recent lightweight options from China or Korea. However, that doesn't make it any less useful.

It's a relatively compact and light stove that burns all liquid fuels including white gas as well as propane butane through only one nozzle. It's a typical stove with a burner attached to a body that is anchored by three fold-out support legs. A pump sits on the top of the fuel line and the generator loop runs around the inlet and the flame spreader is situated above that. The burner is a low-velocity flame type. This makes it less susceptible to wind.

It's a versatile little cooker since it can be used with isobutane canisters or propane canisters. It is simple to simmer using isobutane and propane, and it burns all fuels at a decent rate. However when using white gas, the stove is a little slower.

One thing to be aware of concerning 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 using certain types of lighter fluid. If you make a mistake, it can cause an accident and land Kovea into legal trouble. Any 7/16ths UNEF-threaded gas canister of a reputable brand will work fine.

Primus OmniLite Ti

Primus Omnilite Ti can be a great option for those looking for a multifuel cookware that can cook with a variety of fuels. It can be used with gas, petrol/gasoline or diesel, kerosene, and aviation fuel. It has separate controls for each type of fuel and is also able to alter the size of the flame which is a wonderful feature. This stove comes with an fuel pipe that sits flat on the floor and is connected to the tank in a snap.

While the Primus Omnilite is a fantastic stove, it will require maintenance to keep it working correctly. In particular it is prone to flare when priming which could be risky. This is a problem that occurs with all stoves with liquid fuel that utilize a secondary spindle throttle on the stove end 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 cooking on kerosene the jet hole needs to be smaller than when cooking with gas. It's a minor issue, but it's worth mentioning.

MSR Whisper Lite

The MSR Whisper Lite stove is one of the smallest, lightest and most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also 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 lighter by 10% compared to its predecessor and the burner mechanism has been redesigned to improve heat distribution. It's perfect for beginners or budget-minded backpackers.

The whistler Lite requires a bit of time to prepare to prime and boil water, but it is a reliable stove that will never let you down. The flame is extremely powerful and can boil a Liter of water in two minutes. The only downside is that it's not as efficient for simmering as some other stoves.

MSR developed the Dragonfly to be a more powerful burner. It's a similar design to the whistler, but is more compact and provides more performance. It's not as inexpensive as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative, providing the same setup at less than half the price. It is also possible to purchase Whisperlite International or Universal for isobutane canisters too. The same design is used for both, however the Universal version can be run with canister fuel as well.

Coleman Sportster II

Like many Coleman stoves, this is a basic, rough and ready unit that will get the job done. It's solid, compact and self-contained with the tank on the bottom and the burner up the top. This makes it simple to use and a good choice for beginners, backpackers looking to save weight and for those of us who keep a few spares in the van.

This stove is designed to burn Coleman's exclusive fuel (naptha which is also referred to as "white gas") but can be used with unleaded gas too. A gallon of gasoline can last as long as a typical Coleman liquid fuel cylinder, which means you'll save money on fuel using this alternative.

It takes a bit of practice to get a good blue flame on a stove with liquid fuel. You'll need to pressurize the stove and prime them correctly before you can do this. If you're not careful the fuel could get into the tank, splash outside the burner, or even sputter. Try it out in the open before taking it on your next trip to learn how to do it.

The stove will sacrifice some performance or flame odor efficiency when using non-coleman fuels but this is a trade-off in exchange for the added flexibility it offers. Make sure to purchase gasoline that isn't leaded and not that is enriched with methanol or ethanol (alcohol). This is because these kinds of fuels can cause the unit to disintegrate, leak, sputter and even explode!

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko multi fuel stove from South Africa (formerly known as the jiko) is a lightweight multifuel stove designed for harsh conditions like Africa. It's an extremely compact and reliable all-in-one system that burns alcohol, solid fuel tabs, and also gels using only one nozzle. It's an ultralight and minimalist design that costs less than the majority of multifuel stoves and also offers low cost of ownership with fuel being cheaper per Liter than gas canisters.

Other multifuel stoves have different nozzles for every type of fuel. It isn't easy to switch between fuels during bad weather conditions, or while wearing gloves. This can increase the overall weight. multifuel stove with back boiler stoves of the newer kind utilize a single nozzle to burn multiple fuels, which makes it simpler. The latest versions of these stoves are known as 'hybrid', or 'compressed multifuel stoves'. there are a variety of names for them like isobutane canister fuel white gas, kerosene, and unleaded car gasoline/petrol.

A multifuel stove kit is available to convert your Trangia burners into multi fuel cookers. These are available at camping stores that specialize in outdoor equipment and are also available internationally. They are ideal for Trangia enthusiasts. They can burn all liquid fuels, aside from diesel, and with the right accessories, they can also simmer.
