There's been a lot of "buzz" about the Soto OD-1R microregulator (which is a lightweight, compact upright canister stove) being able to handle cold weather. A lot of that buzz has been generated by Soto's advertising showing such things as their stove blazing away when the fuel is submerged in ice water while "brand 'X'" fades out. The relevant section of the video starts at about 63 seconds in.



Has Soto licked the cold weather problem for a lightweight upright canister stove? How much better performance can one expect? I try to separate the facts from the fiction in my latest blog post: The Soto OD-1R Microregulator: Cold weather problems solved?
