[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1362037, member: 54178"] Mike, Sorry this reply is late. ->1st choice for a winter stove is my MSR Whisperlite Universal in the white gas ("petrol") mode. With various jets it can also be used as an inverted canister stove or kerosene. ->2nd is my Trail Designs Sidewinder titanium cone stove with the Inferno woodturning insert. It takes finger-sized sticks and the Inferno insert makes it a "gassifier" stove that recirculates unburned combustion gasses for a much hotter burn. It usually leaves white ashes due to the high heat. It is made of titanium sheet B/C the usual aluminum sheet construction for the Caldera Cone would melt with the gassifier Inferno insert used. The heavier and less efficient Canadian made Bush Buddy is another gassifier stove. *This ultra light Sidewinder stove is great for melting snow for water B/C it uses available natural fuel [I]that you do not have to carry. [/I]I use a 2 qt. JetBoil pot for melting snow. Eric B. NOTE: When forced to cook in my tent vestibule by high winds, rain or heavy snow I vent as much as possible opening my "back door" and low and high vents. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer. Cherry red lips and fingernail beds are tell-tale signs of CO poisoning. For my wood stove I just carry emergency cold food that needs no cooking. [/QUOTE]
