Loud Multifuel Stove? BernieDawg or QuietStove too Expensive? Quiet it Down Easy and Cheap!

How to Quiet Down a Loud Multifuel Stove Easily and Cheaply

Step 1: Identify the Issue

• If your multifuel stove is too loud and you are considering purchasing expensive solutions like Silent Caps from BernieDawg, you may want to explore a more cost-effective option.

Step 2: Research Alternative Solutions

• Calculate the total cost of the Silent Caps including shipping and exchange rates to see if it exceeds your budget.
• Look for repurposing options for vintage stoves that could potentially solve the noise issue at a lower cost.

Step 3: Find a Suitable Replacement

• Search for a vintage stove Bell burner with an attached cap on online marketplaces like AliExpress for under $40.
• Ensure the replacement Bell burner is compatible with your stove model (e.g., Prima stoves like the Himalaya) or other stoves with detachable Bells such as MSR, Optimus, and Chinese brand stoves.

Step 4: Measure and Compare

• Measure the threads on your stove body where the Bell burner attaches.
• Compare these measurements with the dimensions of the replacement Bell burner available on AliExpress or similar sites.
• Check if the Bell matches and fits into the space available in your stove housing.

Step 5: Install the Replacement Bell Burner

• Place your pot on top of the stove to secure the new Bell burner in place.
• Note the weight difference between the new and old Bell burners (e.g., new Bell weighs 70g, old Bell weighs 40g).
• Consider if the extra weight of the new Bell burner is acceptable to you for a quieter stove operation.

Step 6: Test and Use

• Ensure that the new Bell burner works effectively with your stove and reduces the noise level significantly.
• Use the stove with white gas and avoid using gasoline, diesel, or other fuels unless you have the right size jet nipple for safe operation.

Step 7: Share Your Experience

• If the solution works for you, consider sharing it with others who might be facing a similar issue with their multifuel stoves.
• Encourage others to try this cost-effective method for quieting down loud stoves.

By following these steps, you can effectively and inexpensively quiet down a loud multifuel stove using a repurposed vintage stove Bell burner as a replacement.
