The arguments I have had about gas cannisters, I am extremely experienced on LPG and things that run on it, if people are using Butane/Propane mix cannisters there should be no need at all to warm the cylinder, people who doubt this just go onto Youtube and look at the the climbers on Mt Everest or K2 boiling water from snow/ice in tempretures of -25c and colder and YES using the same cannisters we use for fishing, last lime I wrote about this I had half brain replies saying there are no Carp lakes on Everest, NO because its to cold

I have stoves that have a pre heat pipe and when butane gas does not vaporise in freezing conditions
I simply turn the gas cylinder upside down and gravity feed the liquid gas its not a problem just uses more gas
but FACT
IF your stove does not have a pre heat pipe then ANY ****ING thing that warms the gas cylinder will make the gas vaporise and burn more efficiently
I know the Butane/Propane mix are a lot better but in freezing conditions they can be greatly improved with heating

Just have to be a bit careful turning cylinders upside down as you are no longer running the stove on gas but on liquid, in winter you can get away with it but doing the same thing in hot weather can be very dangerous

errrr ? WTF ? would you want to do it in anything other than freezing conditions
I cant be certain but I think it was Primus that produced the first commercially available stove with that capability and guess what they called it ?
yes the Primus Gravity clue is in the name

In all these years I never knew that's why it was called Gravity.
Every days a school day

I still have one in my collection and use it now and again the only flaw in the design is its very low to the ground and if you were daft enough to put it on the floor it would melt a hole in your groundsheet
thats why NOW to this day I always carry a PLUMBERS SOLDERING MAT that goes down first and stove sits on top LINKY POO

I got one. Only tested but works as it should. Element covers all sides and warms up nicely. For £20 worth the money

yes I still got 2 of them the HP and the Low pressure version which I put a propane bottle and regulator on
and used it in France a few years ago when on a 2 week French trip it was a big mistake going early as with a north east windchill of -12 but cooking with the propane was a life saver
