[pct-l] Jetboil and Snow

[Ken Powers]

One of the criticisms of butane canisters is that they don't burn well in 
the cold. I found that slipping the canister into my sleeping bag at night 
kept the canister warm enough that it burned efficiently on cold mornings. 
We haven't had any problems in the evenings.

I am considering buying a Jetboil Titanium for winter camping. I understand 
that these stoves are extremely efficient at boiling water, however, I am 
concerned about their ability to melt snow, i.e. will this flamethrower just 
burn through the pot? Anyone have experience with this stove in snow?
