Will the stove work in cold weather? With a separate gas canister, it might work when the gas is all liquid, or it might not, depending on the design. If not, I'd expect it to be useless once the air gets to around fridge temperature (unless using the heavier, more expensive methylpropane (i.e. isobutane)/propane canisters).

Isobutane with a stove like this is fine down to well below freezing. You will notice it starts to burn more slowly in the single digits, but I have had success as low as a few degrees below 0 (F).

Canister stoves normally have a good bit of trouble at and under freezing temperatures. Liquid fuel doesn't have that problem so much. If you're going to be doing a lot of cold weather stuff, I'd go with a liquid stove.
