Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These basic, lightweight stoves can burn hexamine, wood, white fuel, and gas canisters through one nozzle. They're popular in colder weather, but they're loud and don't have a simmer control.

Certain multi-fuel stoves can burn different kinds of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal, for example, burns white and isobutane fuel in its canisters.

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova is a multi fuel stove defra approved-fuel stove that can be used with various liquid fuels. It features a quick-priming burner and an aluminum pump that self-purges, and a precise simmer control. Its low center of gravity and broad legs make it a solid, rock-solid stove. This makes it an ideal stove for group backpacking base camps, kayaking, and arctic camping.

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

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

This is an excellent all round backpacking stove for use in the UK especially for trips in which a variety of fuels is necessary. The price is affordable when compared with other 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 first came on the market in 2010 and has been a favorite choice for many backpackers since. A few UK backpackers seem to give the stove much attention these days perhaps because they've caught up with better known brands or whatever the latest lightweight stove from China or Korea is but this doesn't mean that the Hydra doesn't still have its merits.

It is a small and light stove that burns all liquid fuels, including white gas, propane butane and white gas using one nozzle. It's a typical stove design, with a burner bell bolted to a body that anchors three fold out support legs. The pump is located above the fuel line, the generator loop runs around the inlet, and the flame spreader sits above. The burner is a slow-moving flame type. This makes it less susceptible to wind.

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

The instructions for the Hydra are written in English but they were not written by native English speakers. The instructions caution you against using certain kinds of lighter fluid. If you don't follow the instructions correctly they could result in an accident, and possibly put Kovea into legal trouble. Any gas canister that is 7/16ths UNEF-threaded of a trusted brand will work perfectly.

Primus OmniLite Ti

It has separate controls for each fuel type and allows you to adjust the flame size. The stove comes with an fuel pipe that sits flat on the floor and is connected to the tank in a snap.

The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it requires maintenance to ensure it is operating efficiently. It can be dangerous because it explodes when you are priming. This is a problem that occurs with all stoves that use liquid fuel that use a second spindle on the stove's side instead of an evaporator to cool the fuel.

Another issue is that it requires different jets for each type of fuel. This means that if cooking on kerosene, the jet hole has to be smaller than when cooking with gas. This isn't a major issue however it's important to mention.

MSR Whisper Light

The new design is lighter by 10% than its predecessor and the burner mechanism has been redesigned to improve heat distribution. This is a great option for backpackers on a budget or those who are just beginning.

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 when cranked to the max and can boil one liter of water in less than two minutes. The only issue is that it does not simmer as well as other stoves.

This is why MSR has developed the Dragonfly stove, which is a more capable simmering burner. It has a similar design to the whistler but is smaller and has more performance. It's not as inexpensive as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative that offers the same setup at less than half the cost. Whisperlite International and Universal can be used with isobutane. The same fundamental design is used for both, however the Universal version can be run with canister fuel as well.

This stove does give up some performance or odor reduction with non-coleman fuels however it's a trade-off for the additional flexibility it provides. Be sure to buy gas that is not leaded and not that's enhanced with alcohol or Methanol. This is because these kinds of fuels can cause the unit to disintegrate, leak, sputter and possibly even explode!
