01/17/2019 02:26PM FWIW, I use propane, but since I carry it in my backpack (as opposed to a sled) that may be why I have never had a problem with it, I do not hot tent. |

01/13/2019 12:56PM I wouldn’t be concerned. I’ve never had that problem even at -40 or colder. Two separate burners each run off it’s own tank will work far better than a two burner run off one tank.  $20 works great |

01/13/2019 11:09AM Propane becomes liquid at -44F and will not vaporize. From that point to 0F it does not supply enough pressure for best output. Performance improves as temp goes up. butthead |

01/13/2019 10:02AM I've been using propane for some time. Ya, it can be finicky in the cold, but as the tent warms, it's a non issue. Cooking in the hot tent |

01/13/2019 07:57AM Unless you have someone feeding the stove 24/7 to keep the tent warm, I think you will have problems with the propane..... Mike |

01/13/2019 01:51AM I've only ever used white gas, but I will be going with five others in a hot tent, and some think that a dual burner propane stove would make sense. We are hot tenting, but I am worried about propane freezing. The forecast is for very cold weather. Thoughts? |
