This fuel has the best control on the flame. This fuel is the simplest and cleanest to use. Just snap the valve into the canister, open the valve and the stove is ready to be lit. There is no need for pumping to pressurize the fuel. The risk of potential leaks is less with this type of fuel.
Most stoves use a mixture of fuel to perform better in colder temperatures.
This mixture includes propane, which gives better burning properties in the cold. The fuel is available in many countries and will cost more than the equivalent liquid fuels. There are still some canisters and stoves that require the stove to be attached to the cartridge until the fuel is gone. These cartridges are not self-sealing. Today the newer models have self-sealing cartridges that can be removed and reattached at will.
