> fuel - still no clear word about what's better in the cold - liquid or gas - but I already know that if you need to bring a lot of fuel, liquid in a bottle tends to be lighter.

You're going to be carrying more fuel than usual, and those pressurized disposable canisters can add significant weight over the Aluminum bottles of Coleman fuel.

I am not sure about all the pressurized fuels, but for some types, the cold temperatures will reduce their pressure to the point your stove won't put out much flame. Of course, you're in Wisconsin, so you can better test out that problem with your equipment there.

I'll bet a hand-pumped Coleman fuel stove would beat the pressurized stoves for both weight/fuel volume and heat output in sub-freezing environments.
