Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These simple stoves are lightweight and can burn wood, hexamine, white fuel, and gas canisters with one nozzle. They are popular in cold weather, but they can be 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 white and isobutane fuel canisters.

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova multi-fuel stove can be used for a variety of liquid fuels. It features a quick priming burner, self-purging aluminium pump, and a precise simmer control. Its low centre of gravity and wide spreading legs make it a sturdy stove that can be used on rocky ground. This makes it a perfect stove for group base camps kayaking, the Arctic camp.

Unlike many other stoves that use liquid fuel, which have a problem of unburned fuel remains 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. The intake hoses are removed from the fuel and forces them to absorb air which puts out flames and depressurizes the bottle.

This is an ingenious solution to a long-standing problem, and it works. The Nova can be used with a range of regular fuel bottles that seal with an o-ring. This includes MSR bottles. It comes with stove bags that include pockets for tools, spares as well as lubricant and the fuel pump.

This is a great stove for backpacking that can be used in the UK. It is particularly suitable for trips where a variety of fuels are required. The cost is quite affordable compared to other canister stoves with similar capabilities. Moreover, the Optimus Nova is easy to maintain and enjoyable to use.

Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra multi fuel stove first came on the market in 2010 and has been a popular choice for backpackers since. The Hydra isn't as popular among UK backpackers anymore, perhaps because they have been able to catch up with more well-known brands or the newest lightweight offerings from China or Korea. However, this doesn't mean it's any less effective.

It is a lightweight and compact stove that burns all liquid fuels like white gas, propane butane, and white gas through one nozzle. It's a standard stove that has a burner attached to a body, which is secured by three fold-out support legs. A pump sits on the top of the fuel line, the generator loop goes around the inlet and the flame spreader is situated above the inlet. The burner itself is a low velocity flame type which makes it a little less affected by wind.

One of the best features is that it can also be used with a canister of propane or isobutane, which makes it a versatile little cooker. It is easy to simmer on propane or isobutane and burns all fuel types at a reasonable level, however it is a bit slower than other stoves when using white gas.

The instructions for the Hydra are written in English however they were clearly not written by native speakers of the language. The instructions caution against the use of certain kinds of lighter fluid that, if misinterpreted as what was intended, could result in an accident that could land Kovea in lots of legal hot water. However that any 7/16ths UNEF threaded gas container from a reputable manufacturer should work just fine.

Primus OmniLite Ti

The Primus Omnilite Ti is a excellent choice for those looking for a multifuel stove that is able to cook using a variety of fuels. It can operate on gasoline, petrol/gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, and diesel fuel. It has separate controls for every fuel type, and you can also adjust the flame size. The stove also has a fuel line that lies flat on the ground and can be easily connected to the tank.

The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it requires maintenance to keep it running efficiently. It could be dangerous as it explodes when you are priming. This is a problem that occurs with all liquid fuel stoves that utilize a secondary spindle throttle at the stove's side to vaporize fuel instead of the generator coil.

It is also important to note that each fuel type needs an individual jet. This means that if cooking using kerosene, the jet hole has to be smaller than when cooking on gas. This is a minor nuisance however it's important to mention.

MSR Whisper Light

The MSR Whisper Lite is one of the lightest, smallest and most affordable Multi-fuel fireplace Stove stoves. It is also simple to repair on the field. It can run on either canister liquid gas or fuel and includes attachments for both. The new model is lighter by 10% than its predecessor, and the burner's system has been improved for improved heat distribution. It's perfect for beginners or budget-minded backpackers.

The whistler Lite requires a bit of time to prepare and prime, then boil water, but it is an efficient stove that will not disappoint you. The flame is very powerful when it is turned to the max and will easily boil one liter of water in two minutes or less. The only drawback is that it does not simmer as well as other stoves.

This is the reason MSR has developed the Dragonfly stove to be an efficient simmering burner. It has a similar design to the whistler, but is more compact and offers better performance. However, it's not as cheap as the whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus stove and cookset is a fantastic alternative that offers the same configuration for a fraction of the cost. Whisperlite International and Universal can be utilized with isobutane. The same fundamental 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 one is a no frills unpretentious unit that will get the job done. It's small, self-contained and solid with the tank at the bottom and the burner on the top. This makes it simple to use and an excellent option for backpackers, beginners who want to save on weight, and for those of us who like to keep a backup or two in the van.

This stove is designed to burn Coleman's exclusive fuel (naptha, also known as "white gas") but can be used with unleaded gas too. This option will save you money as one gallon of gasoline could last as long as the conventional Coleman liquid fuel cylinder.

It takes some practice to achieve a perfect blue flame on a liquid fuel stove. You'll need to pressurize the stove and prime them correctly before you can do this. If you do it wrong your fuel may pool, spray beyond the burner or sputter. Do some practice outside before going on your next trip to learn how to do it.

The stove will lose some performance and flame odor effectiveness if you use non-Coleman gasoline, but this is a tradeoff for its versatility. Be sure to buy unleaded gasoline and not something augmented with methanol or ethanol (alcohol). These types of fuel could cause the unit's performance to decline and even explode.

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko multi-fuel stove from South Africa (formerly known as the Jiko) is a lightweight multifuel stove specifically designed for harsh conditions such as Africa. It's a compact and reliable all-in-one system that burns solid fuel, alcohol, tabs and also gels through one nozzle. It's an ultralight and minimalist design that costs less than most other cast iron multifuel stove stoves, and also has low cost of ownership and fuel is less expensive per liter than gas canisters.

Other 5kw defra multifuel stove stoves use different nozzles for every type of fuel. This makes them difficult to change in bad weather or with gloves and can add to their weight overall. The newer types of multifuel stoves have discovered an option to use the same nozzle to ignite multiple fuels which is much easier. The latest versions of these stoves are known as 'hybrid', or 'compressed multifuel stoves'. there are many names for them such as isobutane canister fuel white gas, kerosene, and unleaded car petrol/gasoline.

Another option is to buy a cast iron multifuel stove stove which converts your standard Trangia burner into a multi fuel cooker. These are often available at camping stores that specialize in camping and are also available for purchase internationally. They're a great choice for Trangia fans and they're capable of burning all liquid fuels except diesel, and when fitted with the right equipment can even simmer.
