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?

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
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

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.

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.
let science, not politics decide, ... but whose science?
