Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I've just started reading the manual that JB101 kingly sent me.
Seems there is a Himalaya multifuel (MFS) that burns gas and liquid fuels, and there is the Himalaya varifuel (LFS) that burns only liquid fuel.
Upon close inspection I believe what I have acquired is the Varifuel version, which is perfect for me, as it is a liquid fuel stove I wanted to run on diesel, but I might try paraffin first.
Unless the stove is marketed as a diesel burner I would never use that fuel in a multifuel stove unless there is no other option. Priming will be an absolute nightmare and simmering will be very hard to maintain. Due to the very high-temperature need to keep and sustain the vaporisation point of the fuel. Stick to Paraffin or kero or 28 second heating oil and a good meths prime first. If you prime with paraffin you'll have very blackened pots to clean every time.
I did prime for a first burn yesterday with the paraffin, but will be doing a boil test later using meths as a pre heat, did have a load of hand gel, but as usual, when I want something I can't find it.
