Summary: These basic and light-weight stoves burn wood as well as hexamine tablets, white fuel and gas canisters with only one nozzle. These stoves are popular during cold weather, however they can be noisy and do not have simmer control.

Optimus Nova
The Optimus Nova is a multi-fuel stove that can be used with various liquid fuels. It has a quick-priming burner and an aluminum pump that self-purges and precise simmer control. Its low centre of gravity and wide spreading legs make it a solid stove that can be used on rocky ground. This makes it an ideal stove for group backpacking base camps, kayaking and camping in the Arctic.
In contrast to other liquid fuel stoves which suffer from a problem where unburned fuel is left in the fuel line and the nozzle of the stove the Optimus Nova has a shut off mechanism that operates by flipping the bottle over. The intake hoses are removed from the fuel and forces them to absorb air, which stifles flames and depressurizes the bottle.
This is a pretty ingenious solution to an old problem and it's a good one. The Nova can be used with any fuel bottle with an o-ring seal. This includes MSR bottles. It also comes with a full-featured stove bag that includes separate pockets for spare parts, tools and lubricant, as well as the fuel pump.
This is a great all-round stove for backpacking use in the UK, particularly for expeditions where a variety of fuels is required. The price is affordable when compared with canister stoves that have similar capabilities. The Optimus Nova is also easy to maintain and fun to use.
Kovea Hydra
Since 2010, the Kovea Multi Fuel Stove has become a popular choice among backpackers. The Hydra isn't as popular among UK backpackers possibly because they've been able to catch up with more well-known brands or the latest lightweight offering from China or Korea. However, that doesn't make it any less effective.
It is a lightweight and compact stove that can burn all liquid fuels including propane butane, white gas, and white gas through one nozzle. It's a typical stove, with a burner attached to a body which anchors three fold-out support legs. A pump sits on the top of the fuel line, the generator loop goes around the inlet and the flame spreader is up above that. The burner itself is a low velocity flame type which makes it a little less impacted by winds.
One of the best features is that it can also be utilized with a canister of isobutane or propane, which makes it a versatile little cooker. It is easy to simmer with isobutane as well as propane and burns all fuels at a reasonable rate. However when using white gas the stove runs a bit slower.
One thing to keep in mind with the Hydra is that the instructions are written in English which was not written by someone who speaks the language. The instructions caution you against using certain kinds of lighter fluid. If you don't follow the instructions correctly they could result in an accident, and possibly put Kovea into legal trouble. However, any 7/16ths UNEF threaded gas canister from a reputable manufacturer will work fine.
Primus OmniLite Ti
The Primus Omnilite Ti is a ideal choice to those looking for a multifuel stove that is able to cook with a variety of fuels. It can operate on gasoline, petrol/gasoline, diesel, kerosene and aviation fuel. It comes with separate controls for each fuel type and also alter the size of the flame. The stove comes with an oil pipe that is flat on the floor and can be connected to the tank in a snap.
While the Primus Omnilite is a fantastic stove, it requires maintenance to ensure that it functions properly. Particularly it is prone to flare when priming which can be a bit dangerous. This is a problem that occurs with all stoves with liquid fuel that use a secondary spindle throttle on the stove's end to vaporize fuel instead of the generator coil.
Another issue is the fact that it requires different jets for every type of fuel. This means that if cooking on kerosene the jet hole must be smaller than when using gas. It's not a major issue but it's important to mention.
MSR Whisper Lite
The MSR Whisper Lite stove is one of the lightest, smallest and most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also simple to fix on the field. It can be used with either liquid gas or canister fuel and includes attachments for both. The new model is lighter by 10% than its predecessor and the burner's system has been improved to improve heat distribution. It's great for beginners or backpackers with a budget.
The whistler Lite takes a little time to set up to prime and boil water, but it's a reliable stove that will never disappoint you. The flame is very powerful when cranked all the way up and will easily boil one liter of water in less than two minutes. The only issue is that it doesn't simmer as well as other stoves.
This is the reason MSR has designed the Dragonfly stove, which is a pot that can be used as a simmering stove. It is similar in design as the whistler, but it is more compact and has more performance. It's not as affordable as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus stove and cookset is a fantastic alternative that offers the same setup at half the price. Whisperlite International and Universal can be used with isobutane. The same basic design is used for both but the Universal version can be used with canister fuel as well.
Coleman Sportster II
It's a simple low-cost, no-frills Coleman stove that can do the job. It's solid, compact and self-contained with the tank on the bottom and the burner up top. This makes it simple to use and an excellent option for those who are new to backpacking, who are looking to cut down on weight, and for those of us who prefer to have an extra or two in the van.
The stove is designed to burn Coleman's exclusive fuel (naptha gas, also referred to as white gas) This stove can be used with non-leaded gasoline too. This can save you money since one gallon of gasoline could last as long as the regular Coleman liquid fuel cylinder.
Liquid fuel stoves come with a learning curve as you'll need to pressurize and prepare them to get a nice blue flame. If you get it wrong your fuel may spill out, splash beyond the burner, or even splash out. Practice outside before taking it on your next trip to learn how to do it.
This stove does give up some performance or flame odor effectiveness when using non-coleman fuels, but it's a trade-off for the extra versatility it offers. Make sure to purchase unleaded gas and not something that's enhanced with alcohol or Methanol. These types of fuel can cause the unit's performance to decline and even explode.
ATG Jiko
The ATG Jiko multi fuel stove from South Africa (formerly known as the jiko) is an ultralight multifuel stove designed for harsh conditions like Africa. It's a compact and reliable system that can burn gels, solid fuel tabs and alcohol with a single nozzle. It is a minimalist, ultralight design that costs less than other multifuel stoves. It also costs less per liter than gas canisters.
Other multifuel stoves have an individual nozzle for each kind of fuel. It isn't easy to switch fuels in bad weather conditions, or while wearing gloves. This can also increase the overall weight. Multifuel stoves that are of the current model use a single nozzle to burn multiple fuels, making it much easier. They can be described as hybrids or compressed fuel multifuel stoves. They can also be referred to under other names like isobutane, white gas, kerosene and unleaded gasoline/car fuel.
A multifuel stove kit is available to convert your Trangia burners into cast iron multi fuel stove fuel cookers. They are typically sold at specialist camping stores and are available internationally. These are great for Trangia enthusiasts. They can burn all liquid fuels, apart from diesel, and with the right accessories, they can even simmer.
