[pct-l] Jetboil and Snow

[Ned Tibbits]

We're in snow all the time, teaching and filming, and we take canister 
stoves and have never had a problem!

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?
