I've only used Trangia alcohol and Optimus / Svea gas stoves in the past . I recently picked up a Markill canister stove thinking it would not be as quirky as the other two but I find it flares up just as bad as a white gas stove .
This is my first canister stove so I'm not exactly sure what the problem is . It only flares up when turned to high . Temprature when problem occurs has been between 40F-60F . It is also very hard to control the flame to simmer , which is one of the reasons I bought it . I know they have problems in the cold but I thought this was well in their range .
