My article will be published on Friday. Hopefully, after you read it, you'll understand why a Windpro (or a stove of that type) can operate at a temperature that is about 20F/10C colder than other gas stoves. If you employ tricks to keep the canister warm, you can go quite a bit colder than that -- probably -20F/-29C -- with a gas stove.


Other factors in which the cannister stove wins out over the liquid petroleum fueled stoves in cold weather, which are rarely mentioned, is that the gas cartridge stove can be safely used inside a tent or bothy bag, where the temperature can be 10-20C warmer than the outside ambient temperature and the stove is much better shielded from high winds. i.e. lack of wind chill effect. If going into really cold weather with a gas cartridge stove then having a vacuum water bottle to hand is recommended standard kit anyway. It's just a matter of keeping the hot water topped off in the vacuum flask.
