White gas is the way to go in the cold temps.

...agree with ripple and coldfeet......white gas is all I ever use...cold, hot, and all in between

extreme cold weather stove fuel

For temps below -20F, I use the kitchen range, exclusively. I think that is natural gas and works like a charm in any weather.

Otherwise, white gas.

Another for white gas, much easier to get going in nthe cold cold temps.

A dissenting vote for gas cannisters. However,you need to know the tricks for it to be effective. Cannister has to be kept warm-tucked into your jacket before you need it,or toss it in a sleeping bag at night. An insulator pad under the cannister,and a heat disperser plate on the stove make s all the difference too.
In extreme cold(-10 and lower) it can become a problem using the cannisters
Lower than -20,I'll be sitting in the kitchen having coffee with afka-bob!
