Mods have been made by folks on this site (usually on the 2-burner) to allow use of isobutane canisters, but they still aren't necessarily useful/reliable in the field. I'll let butthead chime in...

What looks like a fuel line loop over the burner for pre-heating is a simple solid piece of brass round stock operating as a conductive heat sink. butthead
