Cheap Multi Fuel Stoves

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

The Optimus Nova is different from other liquid fuel stoves which have issues with unburned fuel remaining in the fuel line or the nozzle. This can be solved by flipping over the bottle. This removes the intake hose from the fuel, causing it to draw in air, that extinguishes the flame. It also depressurizes the bottle.

It's a pretty standard stove design with a burner bell bolted to an aluminum body that is anchored by three support legs that fold out. The pump is on top of the fuel hose, the generator loop goes around the inlet, and the flame spreader sits above the inlet. The burner is a low-velocity flame type. This means it is less affected by the wind.
