12 Companies Setting The Standard In Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves
Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

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

Some multi-fuel stoves are hybrids able to burn multiple kinds of liquid fuel. The MSR WhisperLite Universal, for example, burns white and isobutane canisters of fuel.

Optimus Nova

The Optimus Nova multi-fuel stove can be used to cook a variety of liquid fuels. It comes with a quick-priming stove and an aluminum pump that self-purges and a precise simmer control. Its low center of gravity and broad legs make it a sturdy, rock-solid stove. This makes it an ideal stove for group backpacking base camps, kayaking, and camping in the Arctic.

In contrast to other stoves that use liquid fuel, which have a problem of 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 hose is then removed from the fuel, forcing it to draw air into the stove, which smothers the flame and reduces the pressure in the bottle.

This is an ingenious solution to a long-standing problem, and it works. The Nova can be used with a variety of regular fuel bottles that seal with an o-ring. This includes MSR bottles. It also comes with a full-featured stove bag that has separate pockets for spare parts, tools and lubricant, as well as the fuel pump.

This is a fantastic backpacking stove that can be used in the UK. It is particularly useful for expeditions, where various fuels are required. The cost is quite reasonable compared to other stoves in the canister category with similar capabilities. The Optimus Nova is also easy to maintain and fun 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 ever since. Fewer UK backpackers seem to give it much attention nowadays perhaps because they've been able to catch up with more well-known brands or whatever the latest lightweight stove from China or Korea is, but it doesn't mean the Hydra doesn't still have its merits.

It's a small and light stove, burning all liquid fuels, including white gas and propane butane through only 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 situated just above the fuel line, while the generator loop wraps around the inlet and the flame spreader is situated over. The burner itself is a low velocity flame which allows it to be less affected by wind.

It is a very versatile little cooker because it can be used with propane canisters or isobutane. It is easy to simmer with isobutane as well as propane, and it burns all fuels at a reasonable rate. However when using white gas the stove is a little slower.

One thing to keep in mind with the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English which was not written by a native speaker of the language. The instructions warn against the use of certain types of lighter fluids that if used in a manner that is not what was intended, could lead to an accident that could result in Kovea in a lot of hot legal water. Any gas canister that is 7/16ths UNEF-threaded from a reputable brand will work perfectly.

Primus OmniLite Ti

Primus Omnilite Ti can be an excellent choice for those who are looking for a multifuel cookware that cooks using a variety of fuels. It can be powered by gas, petrol/gasoline or diesel, kerosene and aviation fuel. It comes with separate controls for each fuel type and allows you to adjust the flame size. This stove also has a fuel line that sits flat on the ground and is easily connected to the tank.

The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it requires maintenance to keep it running efficiently. It is a risk because it gets flaming when priming. This is a problem that is common to all stoves that use liquid fuel, which use a secondary spindle on the stove's side instead of an evaporator to cool the fuel.

It is also important to note that each fuel type requires the use of a different jet. If you are cooking with kerosene then the jet hole will be smaller than if you were using gas. It's a minor issue however it's something to be aware of.

MSR Whisper Light

The MSR Whisper Lite is one of the tiniest, lightest and most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also easy to repair on the field. It can 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 system has been redesigned to ensure better heat distribution. It's great for beginners or backpackers with a budget.

It takes some time to set up, prime and boil water, but the whistler Lite is a reliable camping stove that will not disappoint you. The flame is powerful when cranked to its maximum and can easily boil the water to a liter within two minutes or less. The only issue is that it doesn't cook like other stoves.

MSR developed the Dragonfly to be a more powerful burner. It's a similar design to the whistler but is more compact and provides better performance. However it's not as affordable as the whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus stove and cookset is a fantastic alternative that provides a similar set-up for half the price. You can also get a Whisperlite International or Universal for isobutane canisters too. Both versions use the same design and style, but the Universal version is also compatible with canister fuel.

Coleman Sportster II

Like many Coleman stoves, this one is a simple, rough and ready unit that gets the job done. It's sturdy, compact and self-contained with the tank at the bottom and the burner on the top. This makes it easy to use and a good choice for beginners, backpackers who want to cut weight, and those who keep a few spares in the van.

Designed to burn Coleman's own exclusive fuel (naptha gas, also referred to as white gas) The stove can be used with non-leaded gasoline too. A gallon of gasoline can last as longer as a standard Coleman liquid fuel cylinder so you'll save money on fuel by using this alternative.


Liquid fuel stoves have a steep learning curve, as you'll have to pressurize and prepare them to create a beautiful blue flame. If you don't do it correctly, fuel can be sprayed onto the burner, or even sputter. Do some practice outside before going on your trip to learn how to do it.

This stove does give up some performance or flame odor efficiency when using non-coleman fuels but that's a trade off for the added versatility it offers. Be sure to buy gasoline that isn't leaded and not that is enriched with methanol or ethanol (alcohol). This is because these types of fuel can cause the unit to disintegrate, leak, sputter and possibly even explode!

ATG Jiko

The ATG Jiko multi-fuel stove from South Africa (formerly known as the jiko) is a lightweight multifuel stove specifically designed for harsh conditions like Africa. It's a compact, reliable system that can burn gels, solid fuel tabs, and alcohol through one nozzle. It's a light minimalist design that is priced less than most other multifuel stoves. It also comes with low cost of ownership and fuel is less expensive per Liter than gas canisters.

Other multifuel stoves have a separate nozzle per fuel type. fireplacesandstove makes them a little fiddly to change over in bad weather or with gloves, and adds to their overall weight. Multifuel stoves of the latest kind use a single nozzle to burn multiple fuels, making it simpler. The latest models of these stoves are referred to as 'hybrid', or 'compressed multifuel stoves'. there are various names for them, including isobutane canister fuel white gas, kerosene, and unleaded gasoline/car petrol.

A multifuel stove kit is available to transform your Trangia burners into multifuel cookers. They are typically sold at specialist camping stores and can be purchased internationally. They are perfect for Trangia enthusiasts. They can burn all liquid fuels, aside from diesel, and with the right accessories they can even simmer.
