    They’re so much better in the cold compared to canister stoves too. Suck for cooking though (you need to control the pressure to simmer).

        The Simmerlite was sort of like a Whisperlite that you can cook with, not as versatile for fuel sources though, but tbh I’ve never had issues finding white gas but don’t really bring it too far from home

      Yeah I can see that, though I usually try to avoid camping when it’s much below freezing.

      And I never found cooking on mine to be much of a problem? They take a while to really properly prime / heat soak, but once they do there’s pretty good control
