Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These basic and lightweight stoves burn wood as well as hexamine tablets, gas canisters and white fuel via only one nozzle. They're popular during cold weather but they're loud and don't have a simmer limit.

Some multi-fuel stoves can burn different types of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal can be used with white and isobutane fuel canisters.

Optimus Nova

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

Unlike many other stoves with liquid fuel that 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 flipping the bottle over. This removes intake hoses from the fuel and forces them to absorb air which stifles flames and depressurizes the bottle.

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

This is a fantastic backpacking stove that is suitable for use in the UK. It is especially suitable for trips where many fuel types are required. Its cost is affordable when compared to canister stoves that have similar capabilities. The Optimus Nova is also easy to maintain and a joy to use.

Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra multi fuel stove was first introduced in 2010 and has been a favourite choice for backpackers ever since. It isn't as popular UK backpackers seem to give the stove a lot of attention perhaps because they've been able to catch up with more well-known brands or whatever the most recent lightweight product from China or Korea is, but that doesn't mean that the Hydra does not have its merits.

It's a compact and light stove, that can burn all liquid fuels including white gas as well as propane butane through 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 is located on top of the fuel hose, the generator loop goes around the inlet, and the flame spreader sits above the inlet. The burner itself is a low velocity flame type that makes it a little less affected by wind.

It's a versatile cooker as it can be used with either propane canisters or isobutane. It's easy to simmer on isobutane or propane and burns all types of fuel with a decent amount of heat, but is slower than some other stoves when using white gas.

The instructions for the Hydra are written in English however they were not written by native English speakers. The instructions warn you against using certain kinds of lighter fluid. If you make a mistake, it can cause an accident and put Kovea into legal trouble. But that, any 7/16ths UNEF threaded gas canister made by a reputable manufacturer is likely to work perfectly.

Primus OmniLite Ti

The Primus Omnilite Ti is a excellent choice for those looking for an all-fuel stove that can cook using a variety fuels. It can be used with petrol/gasoline, gasoline or diesel, kerosene, and aviation fuel. It has separate controls for each type of fuel and also allows to adjust the flame size which is a great feature. This stove also has a fuel line that sits flat on the ground and is easily connected to the tank.

While the Primus Omnilite is a fantastic stove, it requires maintenance to keep it working correctly. It is a risk because it gets flaming when you are priming. This is a problem that is common to all stoves that use liquid fuel that use a second spindle at the stove's end instead of an actual coil to vaporize the fuel.

It is also important to note that every fuel type requires an individual jet. This means that if you're cooking on kerosene the jet hole needs to be smaller than when using gas. This is a minor issue however it's important to mention.

MSR Whisper Lite

The MSR Whisper Lite stove is one of the smallest, lightest and most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also easy to repair in the field. It is able to be used with canister fuel or liquid gas and comes with attachments for both. The new model is 10% lighter than its predecessor, and the burner system has been redesigned for improved heat distribution. It's perfect for beginners or budget-minded backpackers.

It takes a bit of time to install, prime and boil water, but the whistler Lite is a reliable camp stove that will not disappoint you. The flame is extremely powerful when cranked to the max and can boil a liter of water within two minutes or less. The only drawback is it's not as efficient to simmer as other stoves.

This is why MSR has designed the Dragonfly stove to be an efficient simmering burner. It's similar to the whistler, but it's more compact and provides superior performance. It's not as cheap as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative, providing the same setup at half the price. Whisperlite International and Universal can be utilized with isobutane. Both versions share the same basic design, however the Universal version is also compatible with canister fuel.

Coleman Sportster II

Like many Coleman stoves, this one is a simple model that is rough and ready that gets the job done. It's small, self-contained and solid with the tank on the bottom and the burner on the top. This makes it simple to use and is a great choice for beginners, backpackers who want to cut weight, and those of us who keep a few spares in the van.

The stove is designed to burn Coleman's proprietary fuel (naptha gas, also known as white gas) The stove can be used with non-leaded gasoline too. A gallon of gasoline can last for as longer as a standard Coleman liquid fuel cylinder so you'll save money on fuel by using this option.

Liquid fuel stoves come with a learning curve as you'll need to properly pressurize and prepare them to create a beautiful blue flame. If you do it wrong, fuel can pool, spray outside the burner, or sputter. Do some practice outside before going on your trip to learn how to do it.

This stove does give up some performance or flame odor efficiency with non-coleman fuels however that's a trade off for the added versatility it offers. Just be sure you're buying unleaded gasoline and not something 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 double sided multi fuel stove Fuel Stove from South Africa is an ultralight multifuel that's been designed for harsh environments such as Africa. It's an efficient and compact all in one system that burns alcohol, solid fuel tabs, and also gels using a single nozzle. It's a minimalist, ultralight design that is priced lower than other multifuel stoves. The fuel is also less expensive per liter compared to gas canisters.

Some multifuel stoves also have different nozzles for each kind of fuel. It isn't easy to switch fuels in bad weather conditions, or while wearing gloves. This can add weight to the overall load. Multifuel stoves that are of the current type have a single nozzle that can burn multiple fuels, making it simpler. The latest versions of these stoves are known as 'hybrid' or 'compressed multifuel stoves'. there are a variety of names for them such as isobutane canister fuel white gas, kerosene and unleaded car gasoline/petrol.

A multifuel stove kit is available to convert your Trangia burners into multifuel cookers. They are usually available from specialised camping stores and are available internationally. These are great for Trangia enthusiasts. They can burn all liquid fuels, aside from diesel, and with the right accessories, they can also simmer.
