Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These basic and lightweight stoves burn wood as well as hexamine tablets, gas canisters, and white fuel via one nozzle. They're popular in colder temperatures, but they're noisy and don't have simmer control.

Some multi-fuel stoves burn different types of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal, for instance, can burn both white and isobutane canisters of fuel.

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova is a multi fuel wood burning stoves-fuel stove that can be used with a variety of liquid fuels. It comes with a quick-priming stove and an aluminum pump that self-purges and precise simmer control. Its low center of gravity and wide spreading legs make it a stable stove that can be used on uneven ground. This makes it a perfect stove for backpacking groups, base camps, kayaking, and Arctic camping.

In contrast to other stoves with liquid fuel that suffer from a problem where unburned fuel remains in the fuel line and nozzle of the stove, the Optimus Nova has a shut off mechanism that works by simply flipping the container over. The intake hose is then removed from the fuel, forcing it to suck air that extinguishes the flame. It also decreases the pressure of 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 a stove bag that includes pockets for tools, spares, lubricant, and the fuel pump.

This is an excellent all round backpacking stove for use in the UK especially for trips where a variety of fuels is required. The price is very affordable compared to other stoves in the canister category with similar capabilities. Additionally, the Optimus Nova is easy to maintain and a pleasure to use.

Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra 4kw multi fuel stove fuel stove was first introduced in 2010 and has been a popular choice for backpackers since. Fewer UK backpackers seem to give the stove a lot of attention, possibly having fallen behind with more popular brands or whatever the most recent lightweight offering out of China or Korea is but it doesn't mean the Hydra isn't still a great stove with its merits.

It is a small and light stove that burns all liquid fuels like propane butane, white gas and white gas using only one nozzle. It's a typical stove design with an ignition bell that is bolted onto a body that anchors three support legs that fold out. The pump is situated above the fuel line, and the generator loop wraps around the inlet and the flame spreader sits just above. The burner itself is a low-speed flame which makes it a little less affected by wind.

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

The instructions for the Hydra are written in English, but they were not written by native speakers of the language. The instructions warn you against using certain types of lighter fluid. If they are mistaken they could result in an accident, and possibly put Kovea in legal trouble. Any gas canister that is 7/16ths UNEF-threaded of a reputable brand will work fine.

Primus OmniLite Ti

The Primus Omnilite Ti is a great option for those looking for a multifuel stove that is able to cook using a variety fuels. It can be used with petrol/gasoline, gas, or diesel, kerosene and aviation fuel. It has separate controls for every fuel type and allows you to adjust the flame size. This stove also has a fuel line that sits flat on the ground and can be easily connected to the tank.

While the Primus Omnilite is a fantastic stove, it does require maintenance to ensure it is operating properly. It can be dangerous because it gets flaming when you are priming. This is a problem that occurs with all stoves with liquid fuel that utilize a secondary spindle throttle on the stove end to evaporate fuel instead of the generator coil.

It is also important to note that every fuel type requires an individual jet. This means that if you cook using kerosene, the jet hole must be smaller than when cooking with gas. It's a minor inconvenience, but it's worth mentioning.

MSR Whisper Light

The MSR Whisper Lite 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 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 system was redesigned to improve the distribution of heat. This is a great choice for backpackers on a tight budget or beginners.

It takes a bit of time to set up, prime and boil water, but the whistler Lite is a reliable camping stove that will not let you down. The flame is very powerful when it is turned all the way up and will easily boil a liter of water within two minutes or less. The only downside is that it doesn't simmer as well as other stoves.

MSR developed the Dragonfly to be a more capable burner. It has a similar design to the whistler but is more compact and offers more performance. However it's not as inexpensive as the whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative, providing similar features for half the price. You can also get a Whisperlite International or Universal for isobutane canisters as well. Both versions use the same basic design, however, the Universal version is also compatible with canister fuel.

Coleman Sportster II

Like many Coleman stoves this is a no frills unpretentious unit that gets the job done. It's small, self-contained and solid with the tank on the bottom and the burner on the top. This makes it simple to use and a great choice for beginners, backpackers who want to reduce weight, and for those who like to keep an extra or two in the van.

The stove is designed to burn Coleman's exclusive fuel (naptha gas, also known as white gas), this stove can be used with unleaded gasoline too. This will save you money since gasoline tanks can last longer than the conventional Coleman liquid fuel cylinder.

Liquid fuel stoves have a learning curve since you'll need to properly pressurize and prime them before you can create a beautiful blue flame. If you don't do it right the fuel could spill out, splash beyond the burner, or even splash out. To master this, practice outside before embarking on your trip.

The stove will lose some of its performance and efficiency if you choose to use non-Coleman fuels. However, this is a tradeoff in its versatility. Be sure to buy gas that is not leaded and not that's enriched with alcohol or Methanol. These types of fuel could cause the unit's performance to decline and even explode.

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko multi fuel stove 5kw Fuel Stove from South Africa is an ultralight multifuel engineered to withstand harsh conditions like Africa. It's an efficient and compact all-in-one stove that burns solid fuel, alcohol, tabs, and gels with one nozzle. It's a light minimalist design that is priced less than other multifuel stoves and also offers low cost of ownership with fuel being cheaper per liter than gas canisters.

Some multifuel stoves also have different nozzles for each type of fuel. This makes them a little difficult to switch between fuels in cold weather or using gloves, and adds to their weight. Multifuel stoves of the newer type have a single nozzle that can burn multiple fuels, which makes it easier. They 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 buy a multifuel stove which converts your standard Trangia burner into a 5kw multi fuel stove fuel cooker. These are available in camping stores that specialize in outdoor equipment and are available internationally. These are great for Trangia enthusiasts. They can burn all liquid fuels, aside from diesel, and with the right accessories they can even simmer.
