Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These simple and light-weight stoves use wood and hexamine tablets as well as gas canisters, and white fuel with a single nozzle. They're popular during cold temperatures, but they're noisy and don't have a simmer limit.

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

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova multi-fuel stove can be used to cook a variety of liquid fuels. It features a quick-priming burner, a self-purging aluminium pump and precise simmer control. Its low center of gravity and wide legs make it a sturdy stove that is rock-solid. This makes it an ideal stove for base camps for groups as well as kayaking and Arctic camp.

The Optimus Nova is different from other stoves with liquid fuel that are plagued by fuel that is not burned remaining in the fuel line or nozzle. This can be solved by flipping over the bottle. This removes intake hoses from the fuel and forces them to absorb air which extinguishes flames and depressurizes the bottle.

This is an ingenious solution to an age-old problem and it certainly works. The Nova can also be used with a range of regular fuel bottles that seal with an o-ring, including MSR bottles. It comes with an oven bag that has pockets for tools, spares, lubricant, and the fuel pump.

This is a great stove for backpacking that is suitable for use in the UK. It is particularly suitable for trips where various fuels are required. The price is reasonable compared to other canister stoves with similar capabilities. The Optimus Nova is also easy to maintain and a joy to use.

Kovea Hydra

Since 2010 since 2010, the Kovea Multi Fuel Stove has been a cult favorite among backpackers. The Hydra is not as popular with UK backpackers anymore, perhaps because they have been able to catch up with more well-known brands or the latest lightweight offering from China or Korea. However, this doesn't mean it's any less useful.

It is a small and light stove that burns all liquid fuels, including white gas, propane butane and white gas with one nozzle. It's a typical stove, with a burner attached to a body, which is secured by three fold-out support legs. The pump is on top of the fuel line, the generator loop is wrapped around the inlet, and the flame spreader sits just above. The burner itself is a low-speed flame that makes it a little less impacted by winds.

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

One thing to be aware of when using the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English which was not written by an indigenous speaker of the language. The instructions caution against the use of certain kinds of lighter fluids, which if mistaken for what is intended could 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 work fine.

Primus OmniLite Ti

The Primus Omnilite Ti is a ideal choice to those looking for an all-fuel stove that can cook using a variety of fuels. It can run on gas, petrol/gasoline, diesel, kerosene and aviation fuel. It comes with separate controls for each fuel type, and you can also alter the size of the flame. This stove also comes with a fuel line that sits flat on the ground and can be easily connected to the tank.

While the Primus Omnilite is a fantastic stove, it will require maintenance to keep it working correctly. It can be dangerous because it gets flaming when priming. This is a problem that occurs with all liquid fuel stoves that utilize a secondary spindle on the stove end instead of a coil to vaporize the fuel.

It is also important to note that each fuel type requires an individual jet. This means that if you're cooking using kerosene, the jet hole must be smaller than when using gas. This isn't a major issue but it's worth mentioning.

The whistler Lite requires a bit of time to set up to prime and boil water, but it's a reliable stove that won't disappoint you. The flame is very powerful when it is turned all the way up and can easily boil a liter of water in two minutes or less. The only downside is that it's not as effective for simmering as some other stoves.

MSR created the Dragonfly to be a better burner. It's similar to the whistler, but it's more compact and provides better performance. It's not as cheap as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus stove and cookset is a great alternative that gives you the same set-up for half the price. Whisperlite International and Universal can be utilized with isobutane. The same basic design is used for both but the Universal version can be operated with fuel from canisters as well.
