I think over all these types of stoves could be considered to have the 'least futzing' off all the types you can commonly buy.

If you want a stove you can just light and start cooking on, you've got a good one.

A bit more info:

Boiling Point (will not vaporize below this temperature):
Propane -42.1 C (-43.8 F)
Butane -0.5 C (31 F)
Isobutane -11.7 C (11 F)

Damn Jim do you ever read posts before you reply?

I already posted that LOL.

One note on the Brunton can stand: it doesn't fit the small size Snow Peak or Jet Boil brand canisters. However, the Jet Boil can stand does fit the small size Snow Peak and Jet Boil brand canisters.

A lot of the time, a post will come in while I'm typing. Great minds think alike?

A least all of our posts generally agree on the facts...

True!

I'd rather have the right answer twice than the wrong one once.

Here's an interesting FAQ at BackpackingLight.com:

Damn again Jim!

That's the same page I was reading when I decided to post the temperatures hahaha.

the zenstoves website is also a great source of info on canister stoves.

lol. Told ya. Great minds think alike.

Yes, it is, isn't it?

Now, something that is based on personal experience rather than a website: one real drawback to simple canister stoves is wind. Since there is no wind screen, they are susceptible to significant wind. They can blow out, but what occurs more commonly is that you lose a lot of efficiency and wind up using a lot more fuel to do a given amount of heating. Yes, I am aware that in this case were talking about a stove to be stored in someone's car kit, but if one were to go camping/backpacking and significant inclement wx were predicted, a canister stove might not be your best choice. A white gas stove which has no problem with a wind screen might be a better choice, although wind screen or no it too will be affected. There are some really pricey newfangled stoves out there (Jet Boil, MSR Reactor, etc.) that handle wind well if that's a feature that you need for what you like to do. Just something else to factor into the equation.

A windscreen will make any stove more efficient. I've heard that using a snug fitting wind screen with this type of stove can overheat the canister but I've never found that to be true...but then it's rarely super hot where I live.

The canister stoves with remote canisters circumvent this and also work better in the cold because you can flip the canister upside down. The fuel is then vaporized in a section of the inlet piping which flows over top of the burner. I have a Trangia burner I got from a friend (he thought it was too much work and bulky to use with his Trangia 25 kit) made by Optimus which is top quality. I've been trying to figure out a way to adapt it to work with the stove in my Crusader kit so I can use more types of fuel with the same kit but it's just too big to fit inside. Unfortunately it can't be used on it's own as it has no stand and no pot holder.
