Has anyone got any experience of the multi fuel t4. I see trakker are about to release their badged up carp taxed version. Just wondering if anyone has bought the bullin version as I'm thinking it could be very handy for winter days.

Cant for the life of me see why anyone in this country would want to buy one ?

at the end of the day these Multi fuel stoves were invented for world wide use where gas may not be available so alternative fuels could be used noisy horrible things

the reality is gas stoves in this country with a pre-heater pipe will work SUPERBLY in ANY minus temps you will ever get !
simply turn the gas tin upside down if its -10c the gas stove will work like its a summers day

We'll have to agree to disagree Gerry.

I have a gas stove with a pre heater, it isn't a patch on my multi fuel petrol powered stove in winter. Turning the can upside down does work very well but with mine it's not easy to control the level of flame, o.k if you just want to boil water though.

Petrol stoves can be noisy but if you buy a damper cap for the stove they're almost as quiet as a powerful gas stove.

EDIT, the only pain with my multi fuel is pre heating in winter for liquid fuels but you get used to it, guess I'm stuck in my ways.

Tell that to the rocket stoves, they're still noisy with damper caps. I just learnt to live with the noise mine makes and so did the rest of the lake

I like to think burning petrol on a stove is more eco friendly than constantly buying gas cans all the time. Plus I can fill my fuel bottle for a quid and it'll last me weeks

years ago I bought a Primus Multifuel I never even took the poxy thing fishing !!
after trying a few test boils at home

at the time I was still working and that was standing close to running Jet engines all day and when I go fishing its for the peace and quite too
so the very last thing I ever want is a friggin stove thats sounds like a jet engine so too ****in right we will disagree
one of the reasons I like Trangia stoves too and even Coleman

Never seen a Rocket used in the flesh. Prior to getting my Primus Omnilite Ti I used a MSR Dragonfly for near 20 years, I thought that was one of the loudest stoves I've ever heard, damper cap made a great improvement.

@ Gerry

EDIT, this is a dragonfly with damper, don't think it's much noisier if at all than gas.
