\"The<\/a>
The robust and flexible Optimus<\/a> – Hiker – multi-fuel stove<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Feeling adventurous? All sorts of exciting destinations from Scandinavia to Patagonia<\/a> are on the to-do list and you need\u00a0a new stove<\/strong>. But, which one should you go for? Well, it should work everywhere<\/strong>, no matter how far away you are from civilisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pure gas stoves<\/a> are out of the question because you won\u2019t get the gas canisters<\/strong> you need all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t got a fixed destination and you want to have a reliable stove<\/strong> at all times, then you’ll be better off with a white gas or multi-fuel stove. White gas stoves can burn petroleum distillates, such as white gas or paraffin (kerosene). This is an enormous advantage, as these fuels are available almost worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you also<\/strong> want to have the option of using unleaded petrol as a fuel<\/strong>, then we recommend buying a multi-fuel stove<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How they work<\/h2>\n\n\n

White gas stoves usually have a separate bottle<\/strong> into which the fuel can be filled. A small pump<\/strong> builds up pressure in the bottle in order to transport the liquid fuel through the fuel line to the burner. Before reaching the burner, the fuel is fed into a generator or generator loop<\/strong> where the fuel is converted from liquid into gas. The newly formed gas is then channelled through a nozzle and atomised. Above this nozzle is a small baffle, where the gas is swirled, and finally burned in a swirling motion<\/strong>. This is how the typical snarl of gas stoves<\/strong> are made, which could wake up the entire camp in the morning, depending on the stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who find the roar to be too loud in the morning should have a look at the PRIMUS<\/a> Omnilite TI. This stove can be equipped with a silencer to reduce the noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
