MSR windpro in the snow

can't comment on another stove- there sure may be some that fit the bill. I can say that the Windpro can be used inverted w/o changing the hose setup, but simply backing it off a 1/2 turn (and adding a little thread locker) makes it much easier

I'm not sure how often the needle valve needs looked at, figured I would do it as a precautionary measure

I've read many accounts of the Windpro being used in the winter w/o any problems

If by 'canister' you mean the conventional screw-thread canister (and not the Coleman Powermax which powers the Coleman Xtreme), then try the Coleman Fyrstorm Ti or the Primus Express Spider.

And read all our technical articles on winter stoves and our reviews of winter stoves.

I went with the windpro. I got it with a gift card today at rei.

I am going to redo the line like mike suggest and try this as my first step. the coleman looks great but is twice the price and heavier.

Thanks guys.

> the coleman looks great but is twice the price and heavier.
heavier – yes, sadly.
But possibly twice as reliable imho. An awkward trade-off.

Cheers
