The stove I use is a MSR Whisperlite. It’s very light and compact and the best part is it runs on unleaded fuel straight out of the bike. Cost is $160 and $30 for the 1 litre bottle.

Rating 8/10 I can’t fault the stove or build quality but again it’s a bit expensive.

All you need in a compact bag

The kit unpacked

Assembled with wind shield fitted

Fill the fuel bottle with unleaded , give it a couple of pumps.

Light the stove

I put on 1 litre of water

In 5 minutes it was boiling

All you need to do to keep the flame burning is pump the fuel every 10 minutes.

I use the MSR whisperlite aswell, reliable and can run on any liquid fuel. 350ml lasts 3-4 days using it for 2 cuppa’s per day and dinner. Steve

i’ve got 2 stoves with me, one is one of those tiny things that fits onto the gas bottles. i still havent used that one yet as it takes up so much space when assembled.
the other is a swedish army trangia thing, which runs on meths and has the pots all built in.
its simple, rugged and easy to use, only problem is its slow and finding meths isnt always easy.
back home i have a coleman 533 stove, which runs on petrol. diddnt bring that because its danm hard to start and likes to leak fuel everywhere and there be too many fiddley things to go wrong.
so i think the trangia thing is the best option, and because its self contained i carry it on the outside of my bag, so it doesnt take up any space.

Hmmm this looks interesting

do you think that i could adapt this technology a little ……and hook it up to a 20 l drum and a warm your shed burner ??
Will it run on a diesel petrol mix ????
or diesel alone (for the safety concious)

looks like all i need is a regulator , hook it up to the aircompressor and devise some sort of “heating element”??
