Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These basic stoves are lightweight and can burn hexamine, wood white fuel, white fuel, and gas canisters using only one nozzle. They're popular in cold temperatures, but they're noisy and don't have a simmer control.

Certain multi-fuel stoves can burn different types of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal, for example, burns white and isobutane canister fuel.

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova multi-fuel stove can be used for a variety liquid fuels. It features a quick-priming burner, an aluminium pump that self-purges and precise simmer control. Its low center of gravity and wide spreading legs make it a solid stove that can be used on rocky ground. This makes it a great stove for backpacking groups, base camps, kayaking, and arctic camping.

Unlike many other stoves that use liquid fuel, which suffer from a problem where unburned fuel remains in the fuel line and the nozzle of the stove the Optimus Nova has a shut off mechanism that works by simply flipping the container over. This disconnects the intake hose from the fuel, forcing it to draw in air, which extinguishes the flame and decreases the pressure of the bottle.

This is an ingenious solution for an age-old issue, and it works. The Nova can be used with any standard fuel bottle with an o-ring seal, including MSR bottles. It also comes with a fully featured stove bag that includes separate pockets for spare parts, tools, lubricant and the fuel pump.

This is a great all-round stove for backpacking use in the UK especially for long-distance trips where a wide choice of fuels is essential. Its price is also very affordable when compared to canister stoves that have similar capabilities. The Optimus Nova is also easy to maintain and enjoyable to use.

Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra multi fuel stove was first introduced in 2010 and has been a popular choice for backpackers since. The Hydra isn't as popular with UK backpackers, perhaps because they have caught up to better-known brands or the latest lightweight offering from China or Korea. But that doesn't make it any less effective.

It's a small and light stove that burns all liquid fuels including white gas as well as propane butane with only one nozzle. It has a fairly typical stove design, with a burner bell bolted to an aluminum body that is anchored by three fold out support legs. The pump is located above the fuel line, while the generator loop wraps around the inlet and the flame spreader sits above. The burner is a low-velocity flame type. This means it is less affected by wind.

It's a remarkably versatile little cooker because it can be used with either propane canisters or isobutane canisters. It is simple to simmer with isobutane as well as propane and burns all fuels at a decent rate. However when using white gas the stove is a little slower.

One thing to keep in mind when using the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English that was clearly not written by an indigenous speaker of the language. The instructions warn against the use of certain types of lighter fluid, which if mistaken for what is actually intended can cause an accident that would land Kovea in a lot of legal hot water. Any gas canister that is 7/16ths UNEF-threaded of a trusted brand will be fine.

Primus OmniLite Ti

The Primus Omnilite Ti is a ideal choice for those looking for a multifuel stove with back boiler stove that is able to cook using a variety fuels. It can operate on gas, petrol/gasoline, Kerosene, diesel and aviation fuel. It has separate controls for every fuel type and also adjust the flame size. This stove also comes with a fuel line that lies flat on the ground and can be easily connected to the tank.

The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it requires maintenance to keep it operating correctly. In particular it is prone to flare during priming, which could be risky. This issue is common to all stoves with liquid fuel that utilize a secondary spindle at the stove's end instead of an actual coil to vaporize the fuel.

Another issue is the fact that it requires different jets for each kind of fuel. This means that if you're cooking on kerosene the jet hole has to be smaller than when cooking on gas. This is a minor nuisance but it's still worth mentioning.

MSR Whisper Lite

The MSR Whisper Lite is one of the lightest, slimmest and most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also easy to repair in the field. It can be run on canister fuel or liquid gas and includes attachments for both. The new design is lighter by 10% compared to its predecessor, and the burner system was redesigned to improve heat distribution. It's ideal for novices or budget-minded backpackers.

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 very powerful when it is turned to the max and can easily boil a liter of water in less than two minutes. The only issue is that it doesn't simmer like other stoves.

MSR developed the Dragonfly to be a more capable burner. It's similar to the whistler, but it's more compact and offers superior performance. However it's not as inexpensive as the whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus stove and cookset is a great alternative that gives you the same configuration for a fraction of the cost. You can also purchase a Whisperlite International or Universal for isobutane canisters too. The same basic design is used for both, but the Universal version can be run with canister fuel as well.

Coleman Sportster II

Like many Coleman stoves this is a simple unpretentious unit that will get the job done. It's solid compact and self-contained, with the tank on the bottom and the burner up at the top. This makes it easy to operate and a great option for backpackers, beginners looking to reduce weight and those of us who have spares in the van.

Designed to burn Coleman's own proprietary fuel (naptha gas, also referred to as white gas) This stove can be used with non-leaded gasoline as well. A gallon of gasoline can last for as long as a standard Coleman liquid fuel cylinder, which means you'll save money on fuel by using this alternative.

Liquid fuel stoves have a learning curve as you'll need to pressurize and prime them before you get a nice blue flame. If you do it wrong, your fuel may be sprayed, pool, or splash over the burner or splash out. To master this do some practice outside before your excursion.

The stove will lose some of its performance and efficiency if you use non-Coleman fuels, but this is a tradeoff for its versatility. Make sure you 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 be sputtering, leaky, and possibly even explode!

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko amazon multi fuel stoves Fuel Stove from South Africa is an ultralight multifuel designed for harsh environments like Africa. It's a compact, solid stove that can burn solid fuel tabs, gels and alcohol using one nozzle. It's a lightweight and minimalist design that costs less than the majority of multifuel stoves, and also has low costs of ownership, with fuel being less expensive per liter than gas canisters.

Other multifuel stoves have a separate nozzle per fuel type. This makes them a little fiddly to change over in the rain or without gloves and can add to their weight. Multifuel stoves of the newer kind utilize a single nozzle to burn multiple fuels, making it easier. These stoves can be described as hybrids or multifuel compressed fuel stoves. They are also known under other names like white gas, isobutane kerosene, and unleaded gasoline/car petrol.
