## Description

Gas stove that requires no preheating (preheating) work when igniting. Can be used with automotive gasoline just like white gasoline (no nozzle replacement).

Review: Elegant design and a very quick prime. - UPDATE 11/2016 - Note about the simmer and fuel consumption: As pointed out in another review if there is enough air space under pressure in the fuel bottle the flame will be stable when throttled down even without pumping; however, at its lowest setting the SOTO Muka stove still causes substantial boiling (it won't really simmer for a typical sized meal). So if your chef intends to prepare a Carbonade flamande after a 15 mile day on the AT this stove may be problematic. Other stoves can throttle low enough to do a true simmer (Optimus Svea 123 or Nova for example). For this stove I think the point of throttling down is to reduce the fuel consumption rate. Because it is so high powered you do not need to run it at full bore to boil water and it is probably not fuel efficient to do so unless you are in a really cold, wet, and windy situation all while trying to boil a gallon of water. This stove has is uses and I have raised my rating to 5 stars. ORIGINAL: It took about a month to receive it, but the email notifications were forthright about this. The fuel bottle isn't included with the stove and has to be ordered separately. Only the SOTO fuel bottle will work with this stove because the pump unit requires a wider mouth than what standard fuel bottles have. The English instruction manual (2 pages) is available on line. The stove only burns gasoline and white gas. It has a broader flame than the MSR and Optimus stoves I have and it runs quieter. The broad flame would appear to provide more even heating than liquid stoves that just have flame spreader plates. At full throttle the flame is a tall uniform blue. The flame stability is vulnerable to winds just like other similar stoves, but its wind screen works well (thick aluminum foil like MSR & Optimus and is stored rolled up rather than folded; which I like). When it's turned down to simmer the flame remains blue with just a little orange around the generator pipe. The simmer is not as smooth as with an Optimus Nova or even my old MSR XGK, but it does throttle down ok. You have to operate the pump to keep the flame constant especially if you want to keep a low simmer going. It can still function without intermittent pumping, just not as well. In preparation this stove requires much more pumping than other similar stoves. It has an indicator on the pump unit that tells when the required start up pressure is reached. It is unique in that it produces a useable flame while the generator is still heating and it has a very short prime time. This is because the pump unit sends a fuel/air mixture to the burner when the pump unit control knob is set to Start Mode. After only ten seconds or so you can set the knob to Run Mode where it will operate similar to other liquid fuel stoves. When you are done you set the knob to Air Mode and it purges the fuel line and extinguishes the flame and also depressurizes the fuel bottle. The Optimus Nova purges similarly, but the SOTO extinguishes sooner and the bottle depressurizes much faster. I can't speak firsthand about its durability yet. The design is more complex than other stoves in its class and is not as robust as the Optimus Nova (though it is lighter); however, it is well built and accessible to maintain. The fuel hose attaches to the burner with a swivel which keeps the hose from crimping when stowed. I have the repair kit available from desertcart and though it looks like it was meant to include a new generator, one isn't included with these kits. I ordered a spare generator separately. The price is above average, but if you are pleased by well designed gear that has a lot of subtle innovations (i.e., a backpacking gearhead) this stove should fit the bill.
Review: YES, this stove requires more pumping than a Whisperlite or XGR. - The Soto Muka (atomizing) stove requires higher fuel bottle head pressure than other liquid fuel stoves, and thus requires more pumping. The upside is improved cold priming time and reduced flaring (both nearly eliminated) and much higher output (4,650 Watts/ 15,800 BTU). Compare this to your average 2700-2800 Watts/9000-9500 BTU output for canister stoves, with only a VERY few operating as high as 3500 Watts/12,000 BTU. This output and large flame diameter puts the Muka stove in a class by itself. And it provides this amount of output WITHOUT sounding like jets taking off at the nearest airport. I find this more than a little important when considering a stove. As mentioned in another review, simmering can require a good bit of pumping if the fuel level in the bottle does not allow for much in the way of head space. As the bottle level is reduced, more pumping is required, but you can generally simmer for longer without stopping the pump. I find that using a 700 ml fuel bottle that is no more than 3/4 full allows a good volume of head pressure for simmering needs in most cases. The design, casting, and fitting of the stove parts is as you should expect from Soto - that is it say EXCELLENT in all three cases. The Muka is now my favorite white gas/unleaded stove only replacing the original Optimus Nova which was very well designed until the bean-counters became involved and redesigned it for cheaper production and in the process ruining the manner in which the stove operates. Thank goodness I still have an original new in the box should the multi-fuel need arise. That it the one shortcoming I have with the Muka - its inability to burn alcohols or diesel fuels in a pinch. Hmmm, I may just have to work with the jet/regulator once the first one needs replacing or cleaning to fix this issue. But it IS getting rare to find oneself in a place where alcohols or diesel fuels are more common than unleaded gasoline. If you are planning a long expedition or through-hike, get the spare parts kit as well as a spare generator. I have yet to need either one, but better to have and not need... While your mileage may vary, I like the Muka stove enough that I picked up a spare just a week ago to use on my next overseas trip. I is much easier to take a NEW stove and fuel bottle in your luggage and ship it back home afterwards (or donate it to a local), than to jump through hoops trying to get a used stove clean of all traces of fuel and cleaning solvent odors. And it sure beats having your pack emptied on the floor of the airport while you argue the semantics of the words "trace" and "residue". Be advised that the Muka stove pump ONLY works with Soto wide-mouth fuel bottles and these are not usually found close to trailheads or the local outfitter. If you are looking for a high output white gas/unleaded stove, you can't go wrong with the MUKA. If being required to pump the fuel bottle a good bit more often, then perhaps you should look at other options. And don't don't rule out a good canister stove that can operate with the remote canister inverted. It has taken 30 years for the manufacturers to realize the benefits of inverting fuel canisters and realize that the customer is at less risk to fire than when priming most white gas stoves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get one while you can!
*by E***C on October 7, 2022*

Get one while you can! I believe Soto no longer produces this stove, which is a shame because it's so great. I've owned eight different stoves from all the major companies and this is my favorite. No priming, even heat distribution, light, but sturdy, not that loud, simmers, powerful, and quality construction. Always have the option to burn petrol/gasoline if you can't find white gas. I only hike and camp in the USA, so never any fuel issues. I bought an extra just in case.
