    Very interesting and fair comparison of stoves to the point of even testing them in two different seasons. Great video overall!!!👍

    Thanks, I had to watch this video again. I have been using the MSR stoves for 37 years. My original whistler lite is still in working order. They are so inexpensive here in Colorado that I bought dozens in the last few years. One was 2.95 US!!! I hope your video convinces folks to ditch the disposable fuel tanks and go white gas. Thanks again, love your channel!

    Those little stoves look nice and probably would get you out of a pickle but nothing beats wood and you get the great smell from wood. Thanks for sharing and for taking the time to test them all.

    Enjoyed the video . I also own a MSR Whisperlite international for over 20 years and probably the most versatile stove on the market today. I also have MSR PocketRocket 2 Butane stove and if I took it in cold weather camping i would have to put the canister in my jacket to warm it up before using it. If possible I will have a campfire and make use it of course, what camping is all about😊

    Ive spent the last 5 years cycling across Canada and the US, ive used all those types of stoves plus wood stoves and my go to stove is a MSR Dragonfly which works off of any fuel from white gas, jet fuel to desiel, i use it with gasoline which is available everywhere. Works great in the winter as well. With buyane in the winter its best to have a stove you can turn the canister upside down, the butane seperates from the propane when it gets cold.

    I'm on team wood fire! The only fuel that absorbs co2 and makes habitat for animals while it grows! Plus no garbage. I like the butane ones for in my SUV though, not gonna have a fire in there! I used an alcohol survival stove just like that on my 60 day bikepacking tour, for stealth camping or really hot weather when you don't want a fire. I agree they're great but they can't handle a breath of wind so I usually end up piling all my gear around it to try to protect it. My family has an acre that's half wood, we could sell the half acre to a developer but we're keeping it wooded instead and using it to supply fuel and building materials indefinitely. It's also a corridor for wildlife to the river.

    Your mountain stove is hands down a better system than most in cold weather bob . I have multiple types as well but not a multi fuel like yours .I switched to the Kelly kettle because of the container waste. Up until your video I didn’t know anyone who used gas in their stove , I think I will be getting one . Thanks

    I use a kovea spider butane stove when its cold out. Lets you flip the cylinder over and use liquid butane instead of gas, it has a fuel warming tube like the msr gas stove. I have a camper but I still use coleman white gas stove at the campsite. Sure its a bit more finicky than propane, but where is the fun in easy :) I buy the big 16oz butane and use them to refill a few small 4oz ones. That really cuts down on the cost.

    The gas works the best and is the best value. Similar weight. The butane stoves are a convenience thing from what I have seen. Very expensive and need really good conditions. Thanks Bob!

    Pretty crafty comparing both seasons but I think for overall quick water boil you cant beat those old Kelly kettle but I would imagine you already know that. Stay safe

    I use the Uberleben twig stove and I love it. No need for fuel canisters, just use twigs/small sticks. Folds down to pack flat. Creates a small rocket stove flame. You can even grill on it.

  • @Mike990920
    @Mike990920 Рік тому

    I’ve used wood fire and propane in winter numerous times. I’ve thought about getting butane because I was told it’ll outdo propane in the cold. Glad I never got butane. BTW, I do refill my 1lb propane cylinders.

  • @johnnyyukon7887

    Good comparison, on all fronts. I was surprised how poorly the Pocket Rocket did in the cold. But, I'm old school, wood fire all year round. Time to relax and enjoy nature at her best.

  • @garythorstenson6783
    @garythorstenson6783 Рік тому

    Not really a fair comparison. All 5 stoves really had different qualities and are perfect for use in each's select situation. For example, I have a 2 burner Coleman propane stove. Works great at a campsite, but I use my jet boil for backpacking. Butane doesn't work well below it's boiling point of -1C or 30F. Sometimes people keep the butane canisters inside their jackets in the winter to keep them warm. For spring to fall, a butane Jet Boil is small and light and works perfectly. But in the winter, a propane or a mountain stove works best. He clearly had his mind made up before conducting the test. I would have liked him to spend the time focusing on his favorite, the mountain stove. How it works, how to use it, how to maintain it, etc. It is probably the best all around outdoor stove of the bunch. Good video, though. I enjoy the channel. And he is absolutely spot on - PACK OUT THOSE EMPTY CONTAINERS!!!!!

    Good comparison. I always felt white gas got a raw deal when the propane stoves became "the new go to". Here in NL propane will get you through most of what your going to do BUT like you said the environmental waste plus continued cost. So I agree anyone buying new should buy the mountain stove even if up front cost is a bit higher but you save in the long run.
    Ever try one of the old tobacco tin stoves? Essentially it is similar in concept to the alcohol stove. You take an old tin, like the old tobacco ones (before they were plastic) and you put a roll of toilet paper in it and fill it with brake fluid or some other similar fluid and screw the cover on (probably why they used the tobacco tin for the cover). When you need a stove you unscrew the cover and light the contents, place your pot or rack on top and cook what you need.When your done screw the lid on to smother the fire. The ones I had were not that great and burned way to much fluid but was curious if you ever tried one?

    Hello again and thanks for the stove comparisons. Beautiful country and a great life style your living. I meant to comment on your previous video but didn't get a chance. Has a newfie living out of the province e I must say I never tried pork buns but after watching your video, I m diffently going to give it a try, they look delicious. Also great work on the cabin. What lake are you on? Very beautiful and the cabin looks cozy. I said it previously on your past video and I'll say it again, everytime I watch your videos, I always seem to get hungry....keep the videos coming and keep up the great work...jeff...

    Liquid butane boils at about -0.5°C, liquid propane from about -40°C. As a result, butane, unlike propane, is unsuitable for applications where the temperature in which the gas tank or gas bottle is set up is below 5°C. The reason is that at a temperature below 5°C, insufficient liquid butane is transferred to vaporous butane, with the result that no/insufficient pressure is created that will drive the butane gas to a consumer device via a pressure regulator.

    @jimf1964 Рік тому

    Well you can’t get a more real world test than that.
    I gotta say though that the trangia alcohol stove, or something like it, will give you a boil no problem. It’s much more effective than that little thing you had.
    As for wood, there are stick stoves like the firebox, that are insanely hot, and with a few twigs, and some practice, will boil water faster than a fuel stove. I agree a plain fire, that is attended will work better too, but you had a lot going on there.
    I loved my MSR whisperlite, but something has gone wrong with it. I’ve cleaned the jet, the generator, etc…but it only burns with a piss poor flame. After over 25 yrs, it’s really let me down on multiple occasions, so I just ordered the primus omni fuel. Same sort of deal, but with a second valve for better control, and jets for any fuel around. So I can bring just kerosine for lamps, and stove.
    Good luck with the cabin Reno’s. It’s a hell of a nice place.

    Happy Easter. I prefer the good old wood fire. However we do use a butane stove for cooking in the hot summer months. I'll have to look into a multi fuel stove, seems the best route. You mentioned you were in the army?

    @alanbierhoff6831 Рік тому

    I’m shocked at the cold weather results with your isobutane stove. I’ve never had an issue with any of my high quality iso stoves in cold weather. I have had issues with some of the cheap China knock off iso stoves.
    That alcohol stove is no good unless you’re just warming up water you know is already safe to drink. If you can’t boil with it, it’s not worth it’s weight. Just my opinion
    As a rule, I’ll get my first boil going with a ‘stove’ while I gather wood for future needs.
    My favorite ‘survival stove’ is the Esbit pocket stove. It fits in my pocket and it holds Six 14g Solid Fuel Tablets too.
    * I recycle all of my iso butane and propane canisters.
