Kovea Hydra

The Kovea Hydra multi fuel stove was first marketed in 2010 and has been a popular choice for many backpackers ever since. The Hydra isn't as well-known among UK backpackers Perhaps because they've been able to catch up with more well-known brands or the newest lightweight offerings from China or Korea. However, this doesn't mean it's any less effective.

It is a small and light stove that burns all liquid fuels including white gas, propane butane and white gas with only one nozzle. It's a typical stove with an inbuilt burner that is attached to a body which anchors three support legs that fold out. The pump is situated on top of the fuel line, the generator loop wraps around the inlet and the flame spreader is situated above. The burner is a slow-moving flame type. This means that it is not affected by wind.

It's a remarkably versatile little cooker because it can be used with isobutane canisters or propane canisters. It is easy 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.

The instructions for the Hydra are written in English, but they were clearly not written by native speakers of the language. The instructions warn against the use of certain kinds of lighter fluids that if used in a manner that is not what is actually intended can lead to an accident that could result in Kovea in lots of legal hot water.

Primus OmniLite Ti

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

The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it requires maintenance to keep it operating correctly. In particular it is prone to flare when priming which could be risky. This issue occurs with all stoves with liquid fuel that use a second spindle at the stove's end instead of a coil to vaporize the fuel.

It is also important to remember that each fuel type needs an individual jet. This means that if you're cooking using kerosene, the jet hole needs to be smaller than when using gas. This is a minor nuisance but it's still worth mentioning.

MSR Whisper Light

The MSR Whisper Lite stove is one of the tiniest, lightest and most affordable multi-fuel stoves. It is also very easy to repair in the field. It can be used with either liquid gas or canister fuel and comes with attachments for each. The new model is lighter by 10% than its predecessor and the burner's system has been improved to ensure better heat distribution. It's great for beginners or backpackers with a budget.

The whistler Lite requires a bit of time to set up to prime and boil water, but it is a reliable stove that will never let you down. The flame is very 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 doesn't simmer as well as other stoves.

This is the reason MSR has developed the Dragonfly stove, which is an efficient simmering burner. It is similar in design as the whistler, however it is more compact and provides better performance. It's not as cheap as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus cookset and stove is an excellent alternative, providing similar features for less than half the cost.

Liquid fuel stoves have a learning curve since you'll need to pressurize and prime them before you create a beautiful blue flame. If you don't do it correctly the fuel could pool, spray outside the burner, or even sputter. Do some practice outside before going on your trip to master it.

The stove will lose some of its performance and efficiency if you choose to use non-Coleman fuels, but this is a trade-off for its versatility. Be sure to buy gasoline that isn't leaded and not augmented with methanol or ethanol (alcohol). These types of fuel can cause the unit's performance to degrade and even explode.
