Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These basic and light-weight stoves use wood, hexamine tablets, gas canisters and white fuel via a single nozzle. They are popular in cold weather, but they can be noisy and lack the ability to control the simmer.

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

It's a typical stove with an inbuilt burner that is attached to a body, which is secured by three fold-out support legs. The pump is situated just above the fuel line, while the generator loop wraps around the inlet and the flame spreader is situated above. The burner itself is a low velocity flame which allows it to be less impacted by winds.

It is a very versatile little cooker since it can be used with isobutane canisters or propane canisters. It is easy to simmer on isobutane or propane and burns all fuel types at a decent level but is a bit slower than some other stoves when you use white gas.

One thing to keep in mind concerning the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English that was clearly not written by a native speaker of the language. The instructions warn against using certain types of lighter fluid. If you make a mistake they could result in an accident and land Kovea in legal trouble.

However, it's not as cheap as the whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative that offers similar features for less than half the cost. Whisperlite International and Universal can be used with isobutane. The same fundamental design is used for both but the Universal version can be run with canister fuel as well.

The stove will lose some performance and flame odor efficiency if you choose to use non-Coleman fuels. However, this is a tradeoff in its versatility.
