camp stoves

[grousegetter]

So I'm researching some stoves for the high country, and i really like the msr pocket rocket. But a guy i work with says to stay away from iso/propane, and get one that will rum white gas cause at elevation(he says 6k) the iso, or propane won't boil water. Which would mean to go with the msr dragon fly. Yet another friend says the best is the jet boil, but the reviews I've read say they're only good for boiling water in their own pot. So, what do you guys use, and how do you like them? And should i go iso/propane, or white gas? Thanks

I have the msr reactor really nice setup used it up to 7800ft no problems great for 2-3 man camp boils really fast and two guys coffee and two meals a day we only used one small can of fuel in 8 1/2
Days plus it all packs down inside the pot only thing i didnt like was you had to take the fuel off to fit in the pot but only takes a sec.

I use both, and the pocket rocket works fine at 6000.  How many days at a time will you be out?  2 days or less, I use alcohol can stoves, 5 or less, isobutane, more than 5 is white gas.

I was thinking a five day hunt, and up to about 6400... But i don't think we'll be camping on the peaks...

I have been using a jetboil stove and love it

After using the Jetboil for a while, every other cooker stays home.

I have the MSR pocket rocket and it has never let me down. Its light too!

I have and use a Jetboil, they now have fuel that will work in the cold and higher altitude. It has an adaptor that allows me to use other cooking pots than the cup. I have used it with a small compact set (Pot with lid/skillet combo) and that works great. Plus their website has lots of useful recipes for the back country. Just my two cents worth!

I have a Jetboil, MSR Simmerlite, Pocket Rocket, and just got a new Optimus stove. The Jetboil has been my go to if I'm not cooking, only need boiling water. The new Jetboil Sol has a fuel regulator for higher altitude and lower temps. The Jetboil is just convenient and easy to use. However if you are actually cooking food definitely go with a white gas Msr stove.

I've got a Snow Peak gigapower stove and have used it in the 7K range with no problems.
