Soto Muka Stove (OD-1NP)

If you're like most folks, you abandoned your white gas rig a while ago for a canister system because the white gas process was a painful priming operation, followed by a sooty burn and a bunch of maintenance.  Well, Soto has changed all that with the revolutionary Muka Stove! 

The Muka stove eliminates the need for priming, so you just pump up the bottle until the convenient indicator says it's ready, turn the indicator to "start" and fire it up!   You'll be boiling in minutes without all the hassle our ancestors had to go through!  :-)

We love the all-weather performance of liquid fuel (LF) stoves, but we don't like the mess, risk, and hassle of priming them.  Enter the game changing Muka.  "It's the easiest LF stove I've ever used" said one tester after manning the Muka for a series of dinners in Iceland.  The secret?  Instead of the typical needle valve system, in which a tiny rod moves in and out of the fuel passage to control the flow, the Muka employs a small brass drum with two grooves.  With the turn of a dial, this system delivers a precise mixture of liquid and air (in the form of atomized gas, much like a perfume bottle) to the burner head, eliminating the need to preheat - or prime - the stove.  We tested the Muka over a period of seven months, in blustery, subfreezing conditions and at altitudes up to 11,600 feet.  It consistently delivered sub-five-minute boil times (for a liter of backcountry water of varying temps) and enough flame control to saute garlic cloves in oil.   .....a red button pops out when the stove is pressurized - eliminates guesswork.  Props goes to the feature on the control dial that lets you clear the fuel line: we had no dribbling gas when detaching the stove from the pump.  And because there's no priming, there's no sooty buildup common to other LF stoves; it needed no cleaning or maintenance during our testing.......
