Whenever I use petrol I go slightly upmarket and use Aspen 4T and get little or no soot compared to unleaded. I’ve tried Coleman fuel and get similar results to the 4T but I had as Aspen supplier closer so the choice was easy

That was the general train of thought with the meths burner and Firebox. If there’s no dry wood about then I can use the meths burner as a back up. But with the right smokeless type fuel. I bought a small bag of kindling to try on the Firebox to get the hang of how much to use and how to stack it. It would now appear I need a small hatchet / axe or something to reduce the wood to a usable size. .Udders, with the multi or omnifuel burner, you can use the gas canisters or petrol (from the pressurised bottle) as stated above.
As you have stated, you have a firebox stove so that you can use wood etc. when available or suitable to where you are cooking.
With the Firebox, which you can use the multifuel burner in, then all you need is a selection of pans/kettle/Zebra Billy pot and your cookset is complete.
It may be worth watching a few YouTube videos. 'Simon - A bloke in the woods' has a few advice videos about different stoves he uses and why, and which different pots and pans he uses etc. Worth having a look. Also, look at the Firebox Stove YouTube channel for ideas of how you can use that stove with all the different burners, as well as using billy cans to bake and roast etc.

10 pager, in store. If there is one thing the bods on this site know about its axes.
I think I pay £18 for 5 litres.
All garden machinery shops sell it, and a lot of hire shops too!
I put the 2T in the chainsaw, strimmer and outboard motor, as it will happily sit in the carbs for years without going off.
Panel wipe.... Burns really clean
This stuff? For a Coleman petrol stove. Not heard of it before
I’ve never bothered doing a time trial to see if Aspen reduces the time to boil 1l of water but I know how much time I save not cleaning soot of my pans before packing them away and it’s a lot.
I don’t have a multi fuel stove. Just a spirit burner so I just need to find the cleanest fuel for that.
Excellent.love my Trangia, I've used them for more years than I care to remember. I on my hols when using it, I don't care how long it tales to boil 1/2 litre of water, it's not that long anyway.
Nothing worse than enjoying a nice quite morning cupper and someone sparks up their mighty 'Jetboil' Christ, sounds like a bloody jet flying overhead. Even worse if there's 2 of them, then they start shouting to speak because they can't hear each other. Trangia, it's good for the inner Karma.
As for fuel, meths with 10% water, lessens the sooting. To be honest I've never tried anything else.
Excellent.
Is that white meths or the purple stuff? The white is not easy to find.
