The more propane, the better - that remains a gas on its own to -42C.

I always use a fire steel to light gas stoves as I think they're more reliable than BIC lighters or matches (I've had waterproof matches fail on me when they were damp. I know, I shouldn't have let them get damp in the first place!). But with the Nova, when you were in Greenland, what method did you use to pre-heat the stove?

I don't think they are any more dangerous than a gas stove. You can see a picture of a Ti-Tri inside my Trailstar here - http://www.christownsendoutdoors.com/2013/09/scottish-watershed-gear.html. White gas stoves are another matter. I've used those in a tent porch - very, very carefully!
