These can use the gas canister upside down, taking in the liquid gas and running it through the flame to evaporate it. These work pretty well in cold (I have used one in –10 C) and have the usual advantages of a gas stove, ie. simple construction and clean operation.
- ashtonkem 6y agoMy WhisperLite Universal can do that too, on top of running pure liquid stoves. I personally wouldn’t trust it below ~20F; it can run white gas too, why risk it? My actual favorite stove, although my heaviest, is my BioLite CampStove 2[0]. It consumes biomass (sticks, pine cones, etc.) and runs a fan that drives extra air into the burning chamber for more heat and less smoke. The part running the fan generates electricity from the heat (using a peltier device, I think) which is enough to run the fan and produce a small amount of spare power. It’s not the lightest stove, but it generates a lot of personal warmth and in areas with a lot of biomass it has effectively unlimited runtime. Illegal to use in areas with forest fire risks though, hence my dual ownership of a WhisperLite. 0 - https://www.bioliteenergy.com/products/campstove-2 https://www.bioliteenergy.com/products/campstove-2
