Canister vs. Liquid Fuel Stoves, plus MSR SuperFly only $39.97 & Free Shipping at Altrec.com
Canister vs. Liquid Fuel Stoves:
Traditional wisdom says that liquid fuel stoves (where you fill & pump up fuel bottles yourself) produce more total heat and have less bulky fuel bottles than canister stoves - like this SuperFly model. Owning different models of both types, I’m a traditionalist who will admit that the new generation of canister stoves are easier to use, easier to regulate temperature, and just as hot as the other type of stoves. Big advantages are less total weight, you can’t spill the fuel, no flare-ups to burn eyebrows or a tent, and easier maintenance. The one big disadvantage is that under 20° F the canisters get so cold that the flame is weaker, so avoid a canister stove if you do a lot of winter camping.
