Ive concluded through research online that efficiency is directly related to the temperature of the cannister. Also that the ingredients of the fuel canisters vaporize at different temps(iso-butane around 20deg. and Propane well into the negatives), and this affects performance. So my questions are A.) has anyone used a PR in winter conditions and how was the experience? B.) What are some ways to increase fuel efficiency? C.) what are some ways to keep the fuel warm? D.) what are the limits of this little stove?
BP,
You're research is pretty on target. If you keep the canister warm, you can use a PR in some pretty cold temperatures. I've got a pretty short and sweet post on my blog that covers the basics:
Cold Weather Tips for Gas Stoves . If you want to dig around and read some of my other posts, you can geek out on the details, but that link should give you a pretty practical working method.
Hope it's helpful,
HJ
