Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These simple stoves are lightweight and can use hexamine, wood, white fuel, and gas canisters through a single nozzle. These stoves are popular during colder weather, but they can be noisy and lack the ability to control the simmer.

Some multi fuel wood burning stoves-fuel stoves are hybrids capable of burning multiple kinds of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal, for instance, can burn both white and isobutane fuel in its canisters.

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova is a multi-fuel stove that can be used with various liquid fuels. It features a quick priming burner, a self-purging aluminium pump and precise simmer control. Its low centre of gravity and wide spreading legs make it a solid stove that can be used on hard ground. This makes it an ideal stove for group backpacking base camps, kayaking and arctic camping.

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

This is a pretty ingenious solution to a long-standing problem, and it works. The Nova can be used with any fuel bottle with an o-ring seal. This includes MSR bottles. It also comes with a fully featured stove bag that includes separate pockets for spare parts, tools and lubricant, as well as the fuel pump.

This is a great backpacking stove that can be used in the UK. It is particularly ideal for trips, where various fuels are required. The price is affordable when compared with canister stoves of similar capability. Additionally, the Optimus Nova is easy to maintain and enjoyable to use.

Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra 3kw multi fuel stove fuel stove was first introduced in 2010 and has been a favourite choice for many backpackers ever since. It isn't as popular UK backpackers pay the stove much attention these days perhaps because they've caught up with better known brands or whatever the most recent lightweight stove from China or Korea is but it doesn't mean the Hydra isn't still a great stove with its merits.

It's a relatively compact and light stove that burns all liquid fuels including white gas as well as propane butane, using a single nozzle. It's a pretty standard stove design, with an ignition bell that is bolted onto an aluminum body that is anchored by three fold out support legs. The pump is on the top of the fuel line and the generator loop is positioned around the inlet and the flame spreader sits above the inlet. The burner itself is a low velocity flame, which makes it a little less impacted by winds.

It is a very versatile cooker as it can be used with propane canisters or isobutane canisters. It is simple to simmer with isobutane and propane, and it burns all fuels at a reasonable rate. However when using white gas the stove can be a little slower.

One thing to keep in mind with the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English which was not written by a native speaker of the language. The instructions caution against the use of certain kinds of lighter fluid that if used in a manner that is not what is intended could result in an accident that would land Kovea in a lot of hot legal water. That said that any 7/16ths UNEF threaded gas container from a reputable manufacturer will work fine.

Primus OmniLite Ti

Primus Omnilite Ti can be an ideal option for those looking for a multifuel cooker that can cook using a variety of fuels. It can be used with petrol/gasoline, gas, or diesel, kerosene and aviation fuel. It has separate controls for each type of fuel and also allows to alter the size of the flame, which is a nice feature. This stove comes with a fuel pipe that is flat on the floor and can be connected to the tank in a snap.

While the Primus Omnilite is a fantastic stove, it will require maintenance in order to ensure that it functions properly. It could be dangerous as it explodes when you are priming. This is a common issue with all stoves with liquid fuel that use a secondary spindle throttle on the stove's end to vaporize fuel instead of a generator coil.

Another issue is that it requires different jets for each type of fuel. This means that if you cook on kerosene the jet hole has to be smaller than when cooking on gas. This is a minor issue however it's important to mention.

MSR Whisper Light

The MSR Whisper Lite is one of the tiniest, lightest and most affordable multi fuel stoves. It is also easy to repair in the field. It can be used with liquid gas or canister fuel and comes with attachments for each. The new model is lighter by 10% over its predecessor, and the burner system was revamped to improve heat distribution. This is a great choice for backpackers on a tight budget or for beginners.

The whistler Lite takes a little time to set up and prime, then boil water, but it's a reliable stove that won't fail you. The flame is extremely powerful and can cook a Liter of water in two minutes. The only issue is that it does not simmer like other stoves.

MSR developed the Dragonfly to be a better burner. It's designed in the same way as the whistler, but it is more compact and provides better performance. It's not as cheap as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is a great alternative, offering similar features for half the price. Whisperlite International and Universal can be used with isobutane. Both versions use the same design and style, however, the Universal version is also compatible with canister fuel.

Coleman Sportster II

Like many Coleman stoves, this is a basic unpretentious unit that will get the job done. It's solid compact and self-contained, with the tank on the bottom and burner up the top. This makes it easy to use and a good choice for beginners, backpackers who want to reduce weight and for those of us who want to keep one or two spares in the van.

It is designed to burn Coleman's exclusive fuel (naptha gas, also known as white gas), this stove can be used with unleaded gasoline, as well. A gallon of gasoline will last as long as a typical Coleman liquid fuel cylinder so you'll save money on fuel with this alternative.

Liquid fuel stoves have a steep learning curve since you'll need to properly pressurize and prime them before you create a beautiful blue flame. If you don't do it right your fuel may pool, spray beyond the burner, or sputter. Try it out in the open before taking it on your next trip to get the hang of it.

The stove may lose some of its performance and efficiency if you choose to use non-Coleman fuels, but this is a tradeoff for its versatility. Be sure to buy unleaded gas, and not one that's enhanced with alcohol or Methanol. These types of fuel could cause the performance of the vehicle to decrease and even explode.

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko 2 kw multi fuel stove fuel stove from South Africa (formerly known as the jiko) is a light multifuel stove specifically designed for harsh conditions such as Africa. It's a compact and reliable all-in-one system that burns alcohol, solid fuel tabs and also gels through one nozzle. It's a minimalist and ultralight design that is priced lower than other multifuel stoves. Fuel is also cheaper per liter compared to gas canisters.

Other multifuel stoves have a separate nozzle for each type of fuel. This makes them fiddly to change over in cold weather or using gloves, and could increase their weight overall. Multifuel stoves of the newer type have a single nozzle that can burn multiple fuels, making it easier. These stoves are described as hybrids or compressed fuel cast iron multifuel stove stoves. They can also be referred to under other names like white gas, isobutane kerosene, and unleaded gasoline/car petrol.

Another option is to purchase a multifuel stove that converts your regular Trangia burner into a multifuel cooker. They are sold in camping stores that specialize in outdoor equipment and can be bought internationally. They're a great choice for Trangia fans and they're capable of burning all liquid fuels except diesel, and when fitted with the right equipment can even simmer.
