Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

The Optimus Nova is different from other liquid fuel stoves that are plagued by fuel that is not burned remaining in the fuel line or the nozzle. This can be resolved by flipping the bottle. The intake hose is then removed from the fuel, and forces it to draw air into the stove, which extinguishes the flame and decreases the pressure of the bottle.

This seems like an ingenious solution to an age-old problem and it definitely is effective. The Nova can be used with any fuel bottle that has an o-ring seal, including MSR bottles. It comes with a stove bag that includes pockets for spares, tools along with lubricant and fuel pump.

It is a lightweight and compact stove that burns all liquid fuels like white gas, propane butane and white gas with one nozzle. It's a typical stove, with the burner mounted to a body that is anchored by three fold-out support legs. The pump is situated on top of the fuel line, while the generator loop runs around the inlet, and the flame spreader sits over. The burner itself is a low velocity flame that makes it a little less impacted by winds.

A nice feature is that it can also be utilized with a canister of propane or isobutane making it a multi-functional small cooker. It's simple to simmer on propane or isobutane and burns all fuel types at a decent level but is a little slower than some other stoves when using white gas.

One important thing to remember with the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English which was not written by an indigenous speaker of the language.

The flame is very strong when turned to the max and can easily boil a liter of water within two minutes or less. The only drawback is that it's not as efficient for simmering as other stoves.
