[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1318950, member: 54178"] snake, I agree one can use a little canister top stove in cold weather IF: 1. you keep the canister warm (on you or in your sleeping bag) and insulated 2. you have a 3/4" wide copper strip that runs from the burner down to the side of the canister to transfer heat (held in place by a neoprene canister cozy W/ silicone fiberglas pad against the copper strip to protect the cozy) OR 3. you use a warm canister & insulting cozy on an inversion stand W/ fuel line to separate burner Don't expect to melt much snow as the canister does get too cold to work well for long. All this is, IMHO, a PITA compared to using reliable white gas or kerosene. My recommendation is to use a [I]MSR Whisperlite Universal stove[/I], take the canister & inversion stand AND the white gas bottle W/pump. (and the white gas jet to change out in the burner) Then, when the canister fails switch over to white gas. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
