Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These simple stoves that are lightweight can burn hexamine, wood white fuel, white fuel, and gas canisters using only one nozzle. These stoves are popular during colder weather, but they can be noisy and do not have simmer control.

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

Optimus Nova

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

The Optimus Nova is different from other stoves using liquid fuel 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, causing it to draw in air, that extinguishes the flame. It also reduces the pressure in the bottle.

This is an ingenious solution to an old problem, and it works. The Nova can be used with a range of regular fuel bottles that seal using an o-ring, such as MSR bottles. It also comes with a fully featured stove bag with separate pockets for spare parts, tools and lubricant, as well as the fuel pump.

This is an excellent all-round backpacking stove that is suitable for use in the UK especially for trips where a wide choice of fuels is essential. The cost is quite affordable compared to other canister stoves with similar capabilities. The Optimus Nova is also easy to maintain and fun to use.

Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra 2 kw multi fuel stove fuel stove was first marketed in 2010 and has been a favourite choice for many backpackers since. A few UK backpackers seem to give it much attention nowadays, possibly having been able to catch up with more well-known brands or whatever the most recent lightweight offering out of China or Korea is but that doesn't mean that the Hydra isn't still a great stove with its merits.

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

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

The instructions for the Hydra are written in English, but they were clearly not written by native English speakers. The instructions caution you against using certain kinds of lighter fluid. If you make a mistake this could cause an accident and put Kovea in legal trouble. Any 7/16ths UNEF-threaded gas container from a reputable brand will work perfectly.

Primus OmniLite Ti

The Primus Omnilite Ti is a great option for those looking for a 5kw defra multifuel stove 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 each type of fuel and also allows to alter the size of the flame which is a wonderful feature. This stove also comes with a fuel line that lies flat on the ground and is easily connected to the tank.

While the Primus Omnilite is a fantastic stove, it requires maintenance in order to ensure it is operating properly. In particular it is prone to flare when priming which could be risky. This is a common problem with all liquid fuel stoves that utilize a secondary spindle throttle at the stove end to vaporize fuel, instead of a generator coil.

It is also important to know that each fuel type requires the use of a different jet. This means that if you're cooking on kerosene the jet hole must be smaller than when using gas. It's a minor inconvenience however it's something to be aware of.

MSR Whisper Light

The MSR Whisper Lite stove is one of the smallest, lightest and most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also easy to repair on the field. It can be used with liquid gas or canister fuel and includes attachments for both. The new design is lighter by 10% than its predecessor, and the burner's system has been improved for improved heat distribution. This is a great choice for backpackers with a limited budget or those who are just beginning.

It takes a bit of time to prepare, set up, and boil water but the whistler Lite is a reliable camp stove that will not disappoint you. The flame is powerful and can cook a liter of water within two minutes. The only downside is that it's not as good for simmering as other stoves.

MSR created the Dragonfly to be a better burner. It has a similar design to the whistler but is smaller and has better performance. It's not as cheap as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is a great alternative, offering the same setup at half the price. It is also possible to purchase Whisperlite International or Universal for isobutane canisters too. The same basic design is used for both, however the Universal version can also be run with canister fuel as well.

Coleman Sportster II

This is a basic, no-frills Coleman stove that does the job. It's compact, self-contained and solid, with the tank on the bottom and the burner on top. This makes it easy to operate and a great option for backpackers, beginners looking to save weight and those of us who keep a few spares in the van.

This stove is designed to burn Coleman's proprietary fuel (naptha also known as "white gas") but it can be used with non-leaded gas as well. A gallon of gasoline can last for as long as a standard Coleman liquid fuel cylinder so you'll save money on fuel using this alternative.

It requires some practice to get a good blue flame on a liquid fuel stove. You'll have to pressurize the stove and prime them correctly before you can do this. If you don't do it right your fuel may pool, spray beyond the burner, or explode. Practice outside before taking it on your next trip to get the hang of it.

The stove will lose some performance and flame odor efficiency if you use non-Coleman fuels, but this is a trade-off for its versatility. Make sure to purchase unleaded gas, and not one that is augmented with alcohol or Methanol. This is because these kinds of fuels can cause the unit to disintegrate, leak, sputter and even explode!

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko multi fuel stove made in South Africa (formerly known as the jiko) is an ultralight multifuel stove specifically built for harsh environments like Africa. It's a compact and reliable all-in-one system that burns alcohol, solid fuel tabs, and gels with a single nozzle. It is a minimalist, ultralight design that is priced lower than other multifuel stoves. It also costs less per liter than gas canisters.

Other multifuel stoves feature a separate nozzle for each fuel type. This makes them difficult to change in cold weather or using gloves, and adds to their overall weight. The newest models of multifuel stoves have found an option to use the same nozzle for various fuels, which makes it simpler. They can be called hybrids or compressed fuel multifuel stoves. They are also known under other names like 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 multi fuel stoves with back boiler fuel cooker. They are usually sold at specialist camping stores and are also available for purchase internationally. They are perfect for Trangia enthusiasts. They can burn all liquid fuels, except diesel, and with the right accessories, they can even simmer.
