Thread: Cooking systems - gas vs hexamine stove/ open fire

When I was gas metal spraying down south in winter, I used to switch to the smaller 9kg propane bottle and dump it in a 60 ltr drum half filled with warm water so I could get enough gas flow (-5 was not unusual at the start of the day) - scary to watch the flow gauges if you got the water temp wrong!.

Winter Tahr hunting I like my Whisperlight liquid fuel stove, goes like hell no matter the temp or altitude , chuck the wee frypan on it and you have an awesome wee heater to thaw out the fingers and dry stuff with. Wouldn't use it in the bloody tent though!, that really is where the Jetboil is great, much safer to make a brew in your bag with that when it is custard outside the tent.
