Craig:
two things actually
1) you get used to the cold-i guess
2)wear more clothes lol...
who am i kidding-at the end of the day, cold is cold is cold right?
I have a Jetboil, i've tried using at altitude in the winter time and the canned fuel is sluggish at best. I've got a pal who wraps a couple strands of copper wire tight around the can/burner area. The idea being that the copper heats up on the element and the heat radiates down the wire to the can, heating it up enough to get the molecules of iso-butane moving around a bit better.
When he explained it to me i thought it sounded like a gurgling time bomb, death-trap but he swears by it.
I reckon its a problem that plagues all canister fed stoves in cold weather and altitude. If anyones got any more tricks i'd love to hear them.
