Primus OmniFuel stove

Posted by Mick under: Cooking; Equipment .

I’ve been looking for a new light weight bushwalking stove for a while and i recently decided on picking up a Primus OmniFuel stove from Anaconda during a club sale.

The Omnifuel is a great idea as it allow you to use multiple types of fuel which includes the following:

• LP / Butane / White gas
• Diesel
• Gasoline / petrol
• Kerosene / paraffin
• Jet fuel
• Avgas and other petroleum based fuels

The stove, which is a refinement of the older Primus MultiFuel stove, uses very advanced materials to offer advanced functionality and the bellow features:

• Brings one litre of water to boil in arround 3 minutes
• A wind proof burner which adjusts to the wind conditions
• Exchangeable jet nipples optimising the use of each particular fuel type
• A self bleeding system for the fuel line
• A steel sheathed fuel line
• A pre-heating system
• Valve control from gentle simmer to rolling boiling
• Low center of gravity keeping the stove stable
• Non-slip pot support grids

Importantly, the OmniFuel is designed to handle demanding conditions, extreme altitudes and both high and low temperatures, all of which i’m certainly looking forward to testing it in :)
