NOT ALL STOVES CAN HANDLE IT, even if you bring a remote stand (like the Brunton brand one for example). You might check my Seattle Backpacker's Magazine article on how to tell which stoves can handle it (see link below). I'd hate to see you screw up a nice stove like the Reactor -- or worse, have an accident.<br /><br />HJ<br /><br />http://seattlebackpackersmagazine.com/2011/04/01/stoves-for-cold-weather-ii/Hikin' Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554269915148144573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-48492712242695921682011-10-17T14:18:48.626-07:002011-10-17T14:18:48.626-07:00Jim, excellent stuff on your site. Thank you.
Rega...Jim, excellent stuff on your site. Thank you.<br />Regarding upright canister use at 0F, I just got off the North Slope in Alaska on a hunting trip and I brought my Reactor and two canisters to swap them as they got cold. I ended up using them successfully at 0F, but had to change them and warm them in my jacket or sleeping bag about every 10 minutes. It was both convenient in the philosophy of a canister stove (light, simple), but very inconvenient having to swap and warm canisters so frequently. However, it did work and I melted snow for three people for 3 days, 3 nights! Next time I'll bring my remote adapter to flip the canister. I wish I would have remembered it for this trip!!!Josh Spicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442275528296345831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-15311830730084032572011-10-12T23:04:28.990-07:002011-10-12T23:04:28.990-07:00Here, here.

It's way too vintage cool. <br /><br />HJHikin' Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554269915148144573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359823178932343980.post-50618810027399137022011-10-12T16:54:10.812-07:002011-10-12T16:54:10.812-07:00I'm probably one of those weird old-timers,but...I'm probably one of those weird old-timers,but truth be known, my dragon-fly is just plain fun.Not to mention all the rest of the classics.nrephilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10391769072219822738noreply@blogger.com
