Liquid Fuel Stoves

Ideal for:

	Cooking in any condition, temperature or altitude.
	Long trips and international expeditions where fuel types are limited or unknown.

Advantages:

	Multi-fuel capabilities. Many of MSR's stoves burn white gas, kerosene and auto fuel.
	Superior cold temperature performance. Low temperature do not effect the performance of liquid fuel.
	Lighter on long trips. A liquid fuel stove and partially full fuel bottle is lighter and more efficient than a canister stove and two or more canisters.
	Correct pressures can be maintained regardless of amount of fuel left in bottle.

Trade-Offs:

	Lighting a liquid fuel stove requires priming with fuel, which can be inefficient, messy and cause flare-ups.
	Maintaining pressure requires pumping.

Canister Fuel Stoves

Ideal for:

	Short or Fast & Light™ trips
	Temperatures above freezing.
	High altitude

Advantages:

	Super lightweight. A 3-ounce stove plus one full fuel canister weighs less than a pound
	Simple to operate. Just turn on the valve and light.
	No priming.
	No pumping. The canisters are already pressurized.
	Full flame control for simmering or boiling.
	Maintenance free.
	Perform well at high altitude (20,000' plus). Canisters have a higher pressure compared to lower atmospheric pressures.
	Affordable.

Trade-Offs:

	Freezing temperatures or low fuel reduce performance drastically.
	Non-refillable canisters must be packed out.
	You don't know how much fuel you have in a canister unless it is new.
	Longer trips mean additional weight - 1/2 to 3/4 of a pound per canister.
