You can, actually (I've used a soto windmaster in deep snow around 6000+m before). It's "just" a question of ensuring the canister itself stays warm enough (e.g. warm it up in your jacket before use, put in a bowl of water, or welding some sort of metal to the stove to conduct the heat back to the canister.. the last which I have NEVER done, since I've read about all sorts of explosion-likely events!)
- ashtonkem 6y agoThere are also some stoves that can run Isopro through the same heating cycle that Kerosene and Naptha go through, theoretically allowing you to use Isopro below its vaporization point. My MSR Whisperlite Universal can do that by simply inverting the Isopro canister (it also runs right-side up in warmer weather), but personally I’d opt for white gas if I was going anywhere near Isopro’s failure temperatures, just to be safe.
