There's plenty of liquid fuel stoves around, although butane/propane is probably more common. I like them because the fuel is cheaper and more available, and you can reuse the containers. The downside is they must be "primed" by preheating the with a bit of liquid fuel, so that the fuel comes out vaporized. I prefer kerosene/diesel over white gas/gasoline because it runs a bit hotter and is safer (at the cost of more difficult priming).
Liquid fuel stoves can also be run in very cold temperatures, where butane mixtures or propane stop working.
- wlesieutre 3y agoWhen I was in Boy Scouts the stoves were all white gas, similar to gasoline from the gas station but burns a bit cleaner because it's more refined and without any additives. Less generically also called "Coleman fuel." But the stoves will happily burn regular gasoline if you have to.
