- Different video this week :-) I go into how the MultiFuel stove is working and what kind of fuels does it burn. I do also talk about the pros and cons. Please comment down below how your experience with the multifuel burner are so others can learn from it!
PS: One other drawback I forgot to tell in the video is that it is noisy!

Thanks for speaking English.
Your English could use some work but your English is 100% better than my Swedish.
Godspeed 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Haha, thanks for your comment😂
@@kj-outdoors I just got a new, complete and pristine Brunton Vapor AF multi fuel stove that I’ve wanted since 2008(made by Snow Peak in Japan 😁).
I want to take take good care of it as I’m planning on taking my kids for allot of adventures with this stove and you can’t buy anymore. All the common wear parts like o rings I’ll be able to
Acquire.
I was a Boyscout and have always been an avid outdoorsman. I’ve had allot of isobutane and propane stoves but this is my first liquid Stove.
I want to learn how to keep it running like a Swiss watch.
I subscribed as apparently you have a personality.
Godspeed
🙏🇺🇸
@@kj-outdoors Your English is excellent!
Great video, very informative! I use an old SVEA 123 Swedish stove in my backpack and it is 40 years old and works beautifully with minimal maintenance. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience.
A lot of very similar stoves out there. I have a LOT of stoves. It's an addiction... haha! My true multi-fuel stove is an Optimus Nova. I decided on it because its all metal pump. But I think if you treat them like the valuable pieces of gear they really are, any of the major brands like MSR, Primus, or Optimus will be reliable and last a long time. I have old coleman stove from the 1930s and others that are even older that still run like new. I don't expect that with these because of the rubber parts that will degrade over time. But they are remarkably well engineered machines. I have a few Coleman Apex stoves that I really like that will burn gasoline or kerosene/paraffiin. But they are no longer made and spare parts are getting harder to find.
Thanks for great insihgts there!
Interesting video! I usually use gasoline like you, but also have great experience with kerosene. If you preheat long enough with a clean fuel like gasoline or fuel paste clogging/dirt will not be a problem. However, there are huge differences among the burners. The Primus demonstrated here is superior with gasoline and a true multi fuel with propane option. But I believe that MSR Xgk is the best option with kerosene and even diesel. Hard choice, and as you say, they can last a lifetime! Great and informing video, take care!
Great insights, Wilhelm! Thanks for sharing!
The simplicity of gasoline/petrol fuel is that it's available everywhere If they won't sell/Fill a canister at the station, you can always dreaw some from the car. Propane/Butane not everywere(You have to be prepared beforehand). Diesel(So-so)Kerosene(Also So-So, but still plenty at any Super/Market)
Also, there are three different valves (sextant that sits in the bottom of the burner) for tge different fuels. Don't know how important it is to have the right one, but read the instructions well and try before you set out on your journey. The small metal tool can be used for changing the valves.
Yes, that is true. There are different valves for different fuels.
Riktigt bra video! One thing I wanna mention is never, ever use a stove inside an enclosed (or even open) tent, as it can easily accumulate deadly CO gas which is odorless and unnoticeable until its too late. Many people have died while camping due to carbon monoxide poisoning from using stoves in enclosed areas.
Not that simple to get COM poisoning. A tent isn't Air Proof. Otherwise most campers/cabin/tent users in the world and in winter would be dead by now. Wood and whatever fuel stoves would not be in use, or sold. I should be dead 50 yrs ago if they were that dangerous
Primus is not recommending alcohol since it will dry out the o-rings etc. But it will work.
I use my msr international for camping in countries like Africa and Asia where you can’t get gas cylinders. Even alcohol can be a problem in some countries. I’m looking for one that can burn diesel too; it’s much easier to get the stove fuel when you fill the car. Id love to know how the Primus Ti works with diesel.
Interesting video. I like gas for summer use.But multifuel is great for cold weather. Thanks for sharing. Have a great Sunday
Gas is very simple and reliable in most cases. I even like to use my alcohol stove as it is very silent!
I love stove talk. My goto winter stove is the Optimus Polaris optifuel stove. Looks like a good bombproof winter stove. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing! There are several brands and models out there. It is important to define your individual needs in order to choose the one that best cover these!
I heard they run on diesel as well. Have you tried that?
Unfortunately I have not tried diesel. But that doesn't mean it is not possible 😀
Funny...everyone turns the bottle over using the long axis....just turning it over seems easier and more logical
Less chances to topple the stove over. For example MSR whisperlite has steel cord inside the hose for cleaning purposes and the hose is very stiff.
Nice setup! Great looking stove system. New follower here. Crow✌️
Thanks for that! And welcome to my channel!
You for the video! How well does the stove allow to regulate the heat level?
Thanks for your comment and question! My particular stove is not so easy to fine tune the heat unfortunately. I do only have one adjustion knob close to the fuel container. There are stoves out there with another anjustion on the stove it self, and I do think that will allow for more fine tuning, but I have not any experience with that myself.
Well done! Very informational video. 👍
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it! Hope you learned something new!
@@kj-outdoors I did learn from your video.
I’ve been interested in getting a stove like this, you’ve given me good information on the fuels and operation.
Thanks again! 🙏
Any idea what 'red spirit' is in English please?
Alcohol that has a red color due to added ingrediens that make it undrinkable😊
“i fell asleep before 60 seconds. Better than a bedtime story.”
WOW!
Good information great video 👍🐿️
Thanks a lot, Mike!
Hello Kjetil.
Thanks 🙏 for the demonstration
of this stove, it was very much
appreciated !!
I have had a look 👀
at various models (some cheaper,
some more expensive)
I am at an advantage as I do
have past experience (good) working
with the Swedes earlier in my career - and understand their mindset with regard their own manufacturing set up with regard various types of equipment, (marine) !!
I know if the product is manufactured by your fellow countrymen then it’s “top notch” and is made and built to last a life time - and if it carries a premium then it’s worth
it long term !!
I would definitely go down the “MIS”
road should I go ahead and purchase one.
There are a few possible variations
with regard the size of the reservoir of fuel
you need to take with you - as long as the neck and the pump length both fit.
Also, I think I would try and perhaps 🤔 consider a small wooden box to store it in, rather than the canvas sack. That way the; stove, bottle, pump and fuel is all secure and in one place.
I think it would be brilliant for a week remote
wild 🏕 camping and the likes !!
Don’t think I would be brave enough to light it
in my tent ⛺️ 🔥🧯🚒 though !!
😳😱🤯🫥
Thanks 🙏
Take care and stay safe… 😷

Thanks, James for your detailed insights! I agree that having a box to store it in would be beneficial. Also during winter it is a good advice to fasten the burner and fuel bottle to a solid plate for better stability when in use. And for the tent issue; I agree that for the pre-heating part you need to be very careful and best to perform that part outside of the tent. When the burner has the correct flame, it is just a pleasure to have it inside the tent, especially when it is very cold😀
you need a jetboil boy !!!!
I have a jet boil for summer fine
Liquid fuel stoves are far superior in cold weather
Jetboil are good for boiling water when it is warm outside. Multifuel stoves are on next level 🙂
Try a jet boil in -35 degrees boy
