So I have another thread started on keeping a cooler above freezing and this one is on the same theme. I will be extended (months) car camping this winter. I will be cooking many of my meals on a portable stove.
I grew up car camping with the coleman white gas stove and bought the self contained single burner coleman stove when I started backpacking. Later I bought and still have in the gear closet a primus white gas stove similar to the whisperlight.
For the past 15 years or so I have used bottled gas, either coleman for car camping or msr/primus for backpacking and have been spoiled by its ease of use and easy temperature control.
The coleman lp fuel is particularly sensitive to cold-have read about increasing the oraface diameter for cold, but would need to know more if I go that route. The msr/primus cans work in the cold, but they are pricey and like the coleman you loose available fuel to temperature.
White gas as a fuel source makes the most sense economically.
Problem is I do not like the flare up on lighting, the poor low temperature regulation, spilled fuel mess.
So I probably will end up using my primus white gas stove, but would consider investing in a new one if the above deficiencies have been overcome.
