Gas stove vs. isobutane in the Whites: one is easier, period
Honestly, after 9 nights in the White Mountains last fall, I'm done with the gas canister stoves. The isobutane canisters lose pressure once it drops below freezing, and I ran out of fuel cooking ramen on Mount Lafayette when it hit 20 degrees. My old liquid fuel stove handled the cold fine and let me carry just one bottle for the whole trip. Has anyone else switched back after fighting a weak flame on a windy ridge?

The Lafayette wind does not care about your stove choice, trust me. Did the cold kill the canister pressure, or was it more the wind blowing out your flame on that exposed ridge?
