Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These basic stoves that are lightweight can burn hexamine, wood white fuel, white fuel, and gas canisters using only one nozzle. These stoves are popular during cold weather, but they are noisy and lack the ability to control the simmer.

Some multi-fuel stoves are hybrids, able to burn multiple kinds of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal can be used with both white and isobutane canisters for fuel.

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova is a multi-fuel stove that can be used with various liquid fuels. It features a quick-priming burner, self-purging aluminum pump, and a precise simmer control. Its low center of gravity and wide spread legs make it a sturdy, rock-solid stove. This makes it a perfect stove for group backpacking base camps, kayaking and camping in the Arctic.

Unlike many other liquid fuel stoves which have a problem in which unburned fuel remains in the fuel line and the nozzle of the stove, the Optimus Nova has a shut off mechanism that works by simply flipping the container over. The intake hoses are then removed from the fuel and causes them to absorb air, which stifles flames and depressurizes the bottle.

This is a clever solution to a long-standing problem, and it works. The Nova can be used with any standard fuel bottle with an o-ring seal, multifuel Stoves which includes MSR bottles. It comes with stove bags that include pockets for spares, tools as well as lubricant and the fuel pump.

This is a great all-round backpacking stove that is suitable for use in the UK especially for trips where a variety of fuels is required. Its price is also very affordable when compared with canister stoves of similar capability. Moreover, the Optimus Nova is easy to maintain and enjoyable to use.

Kovea Hydra

Since 2010, the Kovea contemporary multi fuel stoves 5kw Fuel Stove has become a popular choice among backpackers. The Hydra isn't as popular among UK backpackers any more Perhaps because they've been able to catch up with more well-known brands or the newest lightweight offerings from China or Korea. However, that doesn't make it any less useful.

It's a compact and light stove, burning all liquid fuels including white gas and propane butane with a single nozzle. It's a pretty standard stove design, with an ignition bell that is bolted onto the body, which is then anchored by three support legs that fold out. A pump sits on the top of the fuel hose and the generator loop is positioned around the inlet, and the flame spreader is situated above that. The burner is a slow-moving flame type. This means it is less affected by wind.

A nice feature is that it can also be used with a canister of propane or isobutane, which makes it a versatile small cooker. It's simple to simmer on isobutane or propane and burns all types of fuel with a decent amount of heat, but is slower than other stoves that use white gas.

One thing to keep in mind when using the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English that was clearly not written by an indigenous speaker of the language. The instructions caution against the use of certain types of lighter fluids, which if mistaken for what was intended, could result in an accident that would land Kovea in lots of legal hot water. But, any 7/16ths UNEF threaded gas container from a trusted brand is likely to work perfectly.

Primus OmniLite Ti

Primus Omnilite Ti can be an excellent choice for those who are looking for a multifuel cooker that can cook with a variety of fuels. It can be used with petrol/gasoline, gas, or diesel, kerosene and aviation fuel. It has separate controls for each fuel type and allows you to alter the size of the flame. This stove also has a fuel line that lies flat on the ground and can be easily connected to the tank.

While the Primus Omnilite is a fantastic stove, it will require maintenance in order to ensure that it functions properly. It can be dangerous because it gets flaming when priming. This is a common problem with all stoves with liquid fuel that use a secondary spindle throttle on the stove's end to evaporate fuel instead of the generator coil.

It is also important to note that each fuel type requires the use of a different jet. This means that if you cook using kerosene, the jet hole must be smaller than when cooking on gas. This is a minor issue however it's important to mention.

MSR Whisper Lite

The MSR Whisper Lite is one of the tiniest, lightest and cheapest multi stove fuel stoves. It is also simple to repair on the field. It can be run on canister fuel or liquid gas, and comes with attachments for both. The new model is lighter by 10% over its predecessor and the burner mechanism has been redesigned to improve the distribution of heat. This is an excellent choice for backpackers with a limited budget or for 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 strong when turned to its maximum and can easily boil the water to a liter in less than two minutes. The only issue is that it doesn't simmer as well as other stoves.

MSR created the Dragonfly to be a more powerful burner. It's designed in the same way like the whistler, but it is smaller and offers more performance. However it's not as inexpensive as the whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is a great alternative, offering the same setup at less than half the price. You can also purchase a Whisperlite International or Universal for isobutane canisters as well. The same basic design is used in both, however the Universal version can be used with canister fuel as well.

Coleman Sportster II

Like many Coleman stoves, this one is a no frills, rough and ready unit that just gets the job done. It's solid and compact, and it's self-contained with the tank on the bottom and burner up the top. This makes it easy to use and a good choice for those who are new to backpacking, 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, also known as "white gas") however it can be used with unleaded gas as well. This option can save you money since a gallon of gasoline can last longer than the conventional Coleman liquid fuel cylinder.

It requires some practice to get a good blue flame on a stove that burns liquid fuel. You'll need to pressurize them and prime them properly before you can do this. If you do it wrong your fuel may be sprayed, pool, or splash over the burner or splash out. To master this try it out in the open before embarking on your trip.

This stove does give up some performance or odor reduction when using non-coleman fuels, but that's a trade off for the additional flexibility it offers. Be sure to buy gasoline that isn't leaded and not enhanced with methanol or (alcohol). These types of fuel could cause the unit's performance to degrade and even explode.

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko Multi Fuel Stove from South Africa is an ultralight multifuel that's been designed for harsh environments such as Africa. It's an extremely compact and reliable all in one system that burns solid fuel, alcohol, tabs and also gels through only one nozzle. It's a light minimalist design that is priced less than other multifuel stoves and also offers low costs of ownership, with fuel being less expensive per Liter than gas canisters.

Other multifuel stoves use different nozzles for every type of fuel. It can be difficult to switch between fuels during bad weather conditions, or while wearing gloves. This can increase the overall weight. The latest models of multifuel stoves have come up with ways to use the same nozzle to ignite multiple fuels which is much more convenient. The newer versions of these stoves are referred to as 'hybrid' or 'compressed fuel multifuel stoves' and there are many names for them like isobutane canister fuel white gas, kerosene and unleaded car petrol/gasoline.

A multifuel stove kit can be bought to transform your Trangia burners into multi fuel cookers. They are usually available at camping stores that specialize in camping and are also available for purchase internationally. They are perfect for Trangia enthusiasts. They can burn all liquid fuels apart from diesel and, with the right accessories, they can even simmer.
