Re: [Paddlewise] looking for a stove that can simmer

I use my MSR DragonFly with my Outback oven with success.  As with all 
MSRs, the noise level is slightly annoying.  FWIW, the Outback oven is one 
camp luxury that I love.

I have a small isobutane canister stove that works well (and is tiny!) but 
I was disappointed that when I ran it full out boiling water the canister 
frosted up and stove performance dropped.  Ambient temp was roughly 50 deg 
F.  Have others had this experience with this type of stove?  I know people 
talk about poor low temp performance of these stoves but I always thought 
they were talking about < 40 deg F.  Also, white gas is MUCH cheaper to run 
than the canisters.
