[QUOTE="graywolf, post: 1767306, member: 34545"] The wood platform is a good idea but I am usually jettsisoning everything possible to keep weight down when climbing. I usually use my snow shovel blade and get it as stable and flat as possible to make a base for my msr XGK international. That stove is bombproof. Still need to be careful not to spill the soup... Re isobutane/propane stove cartridges, you’ll find they work significantly better at higher elevations because the boiling point is very dependent on elevation. Granted it’s usually colder as well but warming them in your bag or coat pocket is easy. I’ve never been unable to start one at elevation. That said, I agree that if you need to melt a lot of snow it’s more efficient to have a white gas stove. [/QUOTE]
