Cheap multi fuel stove ebay fuel stoves (forum.elaivizh.eu)
Summary: These simple, lightweight stoves can burn wood, hexamine white fuel, as well as gas canisters through one nozzle. These stoves are popular during colder weather, but they can be noisy and lack the ability to control the simmer.
Some multi-fuel stoves can burn different kinds of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal can be used with 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 and an aluminum pump that self-purges and a precise control of the simmer. Its low center of gravity and large spreading legs make it a sturdy stove that can be used on rocky ground. This makes it an ideal stove for base camps for groups kayaking, Arctic camp.
In contrast to 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 operates by simply flipping the bottle over. The intake hoses are removed from the fuel and forces them to absorb air which extinguishes flames and depressurizes bottles.
This is a pretty ingenious solution to a long-standing problem and it’s effective. The Nova can be used with any fuel bottle with an o-ring seal, including MSR bottles. It comes with a stove bag that includes pockets for tools, spares as well as lubricant and the fuel pump.
This is a fantastic backpacking stove that is suitable for use in the UK. It is especially useful for expeditions, where a variety of fuels are required. The price is reasonable compared to other canister stoves with similar capabilities. Additionally, the Optimus Nova is easy to maintain and a pleasure to use.
Kovea Hydra
Since 2010 since 2010, the Kovea Multi Fuel Stove has been a favorite among backpackers. It isn’t as popular UK backpackers seem to give the stove much attention these days maybe because they’ve gotten caught up with better known brands or whatever the latest lightweight product from China or Korea is but that doesn’t mean that the Hydra isn’t still a great stove with its advantages.
It’s a relatively compact and light stove that burns all liquid fuels including white gas as well as propane butane, using a single nozzle. It’s a typical stove with a burner attached to a body which anchors three support legs that fold out. The pump is located above the fuel line, while the generator loop is wrapped around the inlet, and the flame spreader sits over. The burner is a low-velocity flame type. This means it is less affected by the wind.
It is a very versatile little cooker since it can be used with isobutane canisters or propane canisters. It’s easy to simmer with propane or isobutane and burns all fuel types at a decent level but is slower than some other stoves when you use white gas.
One thing to be aware of when using the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English which was not written by a native speaker of the language. The instructions caution you against using certain types of lighter fluid. If you make a mistake this could cause an accident, and possibly put Kovea into legal trouble. Any gas canister that is 7/16ths UNEF-threaded of a reputable brand will be fine.
Primus OmniLite Ti
The Primus Omnilite Ti is a great option for those looking for a multifuel stove that is able to cook with a variety of fuels. It can be powered by gas, petrol/gasoline, Kerosene, diesel and aviation fuel. It comes with separate controls for each fuel type and allows you to adjust the flame size. The stove comes with a fuel pipe that is flat on the floor and can be connected to the tank quickly.
The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it needs maintenance to ensure it is operating properly. It can be dangerous because it explodes when you are priming. This issue occurs with all stoves that use 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 type of fuel. If you are cooking using kerosene, the jet hole will be smaller than if 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 can be used with either canister fuel or liquid gas and includes attachments for both. The new design is 10percent lighter than its predecessor, and the burner has been revamped to improve heat distribution. This is a great option for backpackers on a tight budget or those who are just beginning.
The whistler Lite takes a little time to prepare to prime and boil water, but it is an efficient stove that will not fail you. The flame is extremely powerful when cranked all the way up and can boil the water to a liter within two minutes or less. The only downside is that it’s not as effective for simmering as other stoves.
This is why MSR has created the Dragonfly stove, which is a pot that can be used as a simmering stove. It’s similar to the whistler but is more compact and offers better performance. It’s not as cheap as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative that offers a similar setup for less than half the price. You can also get a Whisperlite International or Universal for isobutane canisters as well. The same basic design is used in both but the Universal version can be used with canister fuel in addition.
Coleman Sportster II
This is a simple, no-frills Coleman stove that can do the job. It’s small, self-contained and solid, with the tank at the bottom and the burner on the top. This makes it easy to use and is a great option for backpackers, beginners looking to save weight and for those of us who keep a few spares in the van.
The stove is designed to burn Coleman’s exclusive fuel (naptha gas, also known as white gas), this stove can be used with unleaded gasoline too. A gallon of gasoline can last as long as a standard Coleman liquid fuel cylinder, which means you’ll save money on fuel using this alternative.
Liquid fuel stoves have a steep learning curve, as you’ll have to properly pressurize and prime them before you can create a beautiful blue flame going. If you do it wrong, your fuel may spill out, splash beyond the burner or splash out. Do some practice outside before going on your trip to learn how to do it.
This stove sacrifices some performance or flame odor efficiency with non-coleman fuels however that’s a trade off for the additional flexibility it provides. Make sure you purchase unleaded gas, and not one that’s enhanced with alcohol or methanol. These types of fuel could cause the unit’s performance to degrade and even explode.
ATG Jiko
The ATG Jiko Multi Fuel Stove from South Africa is an ultralight multifuel that’s been designed to withstand harsh conditions like Africa. It’s a compact and reliable all-in-one stove that burns alcohol, solid fuel tabs and also gels through one nozzle. It is a minimalist, ultralight design that is priced lower than other multifuel stoves. It also costs less per liter compared to gas canisters.
Other multifuel stoves feature a separate nozzle per fuel type. It isn’t easy to switch between fuels during bad weather conditions, or while wearing gloves. This can add weight to the overall load. The latest models of multifuel stoves have discovered a way to use the same nozzle to ignite different fuels, making it simpler. These stoves can be called hybrids or multifuel compressed fuel stoves. They are also known under other names like white gas, isobutane kerosene and unleaded gasoline/car petrol.
A multifuel stove kit can be bought to transform your Trangia burners into multi fuel cookers. They are typically available at camping stores that specialize in camping and are also available for purchase internationally. They are a good option for Trangia fans and they’re capable of burning all liquid fuels with the exception of diesel, and when equipped with the right accessories can even cook.
