Multi fuel stove on eBay

[rik_uk3]

Got around to playing with the eBay multifuel stove, great value for money





Burns hot as you can see.

The seller is now (I've been told) taking offers of $35US plus $20 postage, he marks the parcel as $20US value. So, you have a good stove that will burn paraffin, petrol/Coleman/panel wipe and gas for under thirty quid delivered :

MULTI FUEL STOVE

rik are you sure you van burn paraffin in the stove? The print on the box says Gas + white gasoline, It also doesn't have other jets supplied with it.

These are identical to the go-system ones that retail for £80!

Wish I hadn't seen the link now, as I recently got hold of one and paid me than this

I don't like the look of it, but for £30 you can't go wrong.
Liquid fuel stoves are great. Doesn't seem to be adjustable at all, but for the price it's good.

It has a diffrent control knob and diffrent pump than the ebay one. he ebay one looks a lot like the kovea model...

You can use paraffin with it, just prime it well. I will use panel wipe or gas though.

My stove is the same as the picture in the eBay advert, a mate had his delivered and its similar to the nova.

 

[rik_uk3]

OK, I just did a fuel test on the stove

based on a 15 minute burn at flat out, red hot, it would use around 80gm of panel wipe per hour, or about 12 hours at full blast on a litre of fuel, not counting simmer times. Panel wipe is costing me £15 for five litres so that works out at about 25p per hour running costs at full heat, half or less on a simmer

Hi rik, probably a stupid question but what is panel wipe ?

 

[British Red]

Gunkless petrol

Think Coleman fuel but cheaper - available from car parts shops

Red

 

[hiraeth]

Thanks for that should save a few bob now.

 

[fishy1]

Do any of the chains like halfords etc carry it?

 

[widu13]

No, places like partco and motor factor suppliers.

 

[big_swede]

Rik, could you by any chance look into if it would be possible to nest that burner in a trangia windscreen?

 

[stooboy]

Hey Rik,

Hows the stove holding up? I wouldnt mind a non bank breaking stove thats light and versatile, before i commit, thought id ask and see if you post on your thoughts now you have had a chance to use it a bit more? still going strong ?

Fits the Trangia fine (in this case a Lidl Trangia clone)

the kit is available from base camp and the stove is working fine to daye

 

[stooboy]

Perfect, I like the trangia mod to this may well be my next purchase.

 

[verloc]

Quick everybody we know his "offer price" - wonder if the seller becomes suspicious of lots of offers coming in from the UK all of a sudden.....

edit = OK so it helps if I actually read the first post properly <blush>
