Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

Summary: These simple stoves are lightweight and can burn hexamine, wood white fuel, white fuel, and gas canisters with only one nozzle. They're popular during cold weather but they're loud and don't have simmer control.

Certain multi burner stove (http://test.gitaransk.Ru/)-fuel stoves can burn different kinds of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal, for instance, can burn both white and isobutane canisters of fuel.

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova second hand multi fuel stoves ebay-fuel stove can be used for a variety liquid fuels. It comes with a quick-priming stove as well as an aluminium 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 a great stove for group backpacking base camps, kayaking and Arctic camping.

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 resolved by flipping the bottle. This disconnects the intake hose from the fuel, forcing it to draw air into the stove, which extinguishes the flame and depressurizes the bottle.

This is a clever solution to a long-standing problem and it's effective. The Nova can be used with any fuel bottle that has an o-ring seal. This includes MSR bottles. It comes with an oven bag that has pockets for tools, spares as well as lubricant and the fuel pump.

This is an excellent backpacking stove that is suitable for use in the UK. It is especially ideal 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 enjoyable to use.

Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra multi fuel stove was first marketed in 2010 and has been a favorite choice for many backpackers ever since. A few UK backpackers seem to give the stove much attention these days maybe because they've gotten been able to catch up with more well-known brands or whatever the latest lightweight product from China or Korea is, but this doesn't mean that the Hydra isn't still a great stove with its merits.

It is a lightweight and compact stove that can burn all liquid fuels including propane butane, white gas and white gas with one nozzle. It's a typical stove, with an inbuilt burner that is attached to a body which anchors three fold-out support legs. The pump is on the 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, which makes it a little less affected by winds.

A nice feature is that it can also be used with a canister of propane or isobutane making it a multi-functional little cooker. It's simple to simmer with propane or isobutane and burns all fuel types with a decent amount of heat, but is a bit slower than some other stoves that use white gas.

The instructions for the Hydra are written in English but they were not written by native speakers of the language. The instructions warn against using certain kinds of lighter fluid. If you don't follow the instructions correctly this could cause an accident and land Kovea into legal trouble. However that, any 7/16ths UNEF threaded gas canister from a trusted brand is likely to work perfectly.

Primus OmniLite Ti

The Primus Omnilite Ti is a ideal choice to those looking for a multifuel stove that can cook with a variety of 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 can also be used to adjust the flame size which is a great feature. The stove comes with a fuel pipe that is flat on the floor and can be connected to the tank in a snap.

The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it needs maintenance to keep it operating properly. Particularly it has a tendency to flare when priming which could be risky. This issue is common to all stoves that use liquid fuel that utilize a secondary spindle on the stove's side instead of an actual coil to vaporize the fuel.

Another issue is the fact that it requires different jets for each type of fuel. If you cook using kerosene, the jet hole will be smaller than if you were using gas. This isn't a major issue but it's worth mentioning.

MSR Whisper Light

The MSR Whisper Lite stove is one of the smallest, lightest and most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also simple to fix on the field. It is able to be used with canister or liquid fuel and comes with attachments for each. The new design is lighter by 10% than its predecessor, and the burner's system has been improved for improved heat distribution. This is a great choice for backpackers with a limited budget or those who are just beginning.

The whistler Lite takes a little time to set up to prime and boil water, but it is a reliable stove that will never fail you. The flame is very powerful when cranked to the max and can easily boil a liter of water within two minutes or less. The only drawback is that it's not as efficient to simmer as 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 more performance. It's not as affordable as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative that offers a similar setup for less than half the cost. Whisperlite International and Universal can be used with isobutane. Both versions use the same basic design but the Universal version is also compatible with canister fuel.

Coleman Sportster II

This is a basic and basic Coleman stove that does its job. It's sturdy, compact and self-contained with the tank at the bottom and the burner up at the top. This makes it simple to use and a good choice for those who are new to backpacking, looking to reduce weight and those who have spares in the van.

This stove is designed to burn Coleman's exclusive fuel (naptha, also known as "white gas") but can be used with non-leaded gas 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 option.

Liquid fuel stoves come with a learning curve, as you'll have to properly pressurize and prime them before you can create a beautiful blue flame. If you do it wrong the fuel could get into the tank, splash outside the burner, or even sputter. To get the hang of this, practice outside before embarking on your trip.

The stove will sacrifice some performance or odor reduction with non-coleman fuels however it's a trade-off for the additional flexibility it offers. Make sure to purchase gas that is not leaded and not that is augmented with alcohol or Methanol. These types of fuel can cause the performance of the vehicle to decrease and even explode.

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko Multi Fuel Stove from South Africa is an ultralight multifuel that's been designed for harsh environments like Africa. It is a compact, robust stove that burns gels, solid fuel tabs and alcohol with only one nozzle. It's a lightweight and minimalist design that costs less than most other multifuel stoves. It also comes with low costs of ownership, with fuel being cheaper per Liter than gas canisters.

Other multifuel stoves feature a separate nozzle for each type of fuel. It can be difficult to switch between fuels during bad weather, or when wearing gloves. This can also increase the overall weight. Multifuel stoves of the newer type use a single nozzle to burn multiple fuels, making it simpler. These stoves are described as hybrids or multifuel compressed fuel stoves. They are also known under other names like isobutane, white gas, kerosene and unleaded gasoline/car petrol.
