I've had no problem with my small Snow Peak lite max at elevation or cold. https://www.rei.com/product/768603/snow-peak-litemax-stove

Worked fine at Trail Camp/below Langley (12k) and at Yosemite (15-20 degree F) and Tahoe (0 degrees F) this past winter.

I did have problem with the auto-ignition version at altitude, so returned that. I just keep matches and small lighters on hand now.


Yep: works fine for thousands of people.

Wherever you go, there you are.
