Factors that affect the efficiency of the stove:

- The mixture of gas in the LP gas cartridge (propane/

isobutane/butane)

- The quantity of LP gas in the cartridge

- The surrounding temperature

Measures which improve function during cold weather:

- Warm the LP gas cartridge with your hands or under
clothing.
