Some propane and nearly all butane stoves suffer in sub freezing temps. Sometimes I felt like I had more stuff in my sleeping bag than I had outside of it when I slept. But I used to put a butane/propane (mix) canister in a zip lock bag and put it in my sleeping bag at night; along with my double capped water bottle full of near boiling water; oh..........and, my teddy bear.

I am also an avid fan of the jetboil cooking system with one caveat, it really does not work very well in subzero temperatures which was an unfortunate discovery on a winter camping trip.

Chris,
Get yourself a Jetboil stove system. It is fabulous. The main unit is a small gas canister, stove with ignitor, cup with heatsink, and a french press. It all fit together in a small package. Add the larger cooking pot (with heat deflector) and you have the bases covered for hot drinks, coffee, and a one pot meal. I've looking for a system like this for motorcycle camping for years. Now having my Jetboil for three seasons, I can't say enough good things about it. My system is going with me to Isle Royale this weekend..... I talked to a fellow at Midwest Mountaineering just after I purchased my set-up, he was an avid camper and scrapped this THREE stoves he owned to go with the Jetboil. And, an added point, it heats up fast!
For what it's worth.
Have a fine sail in the Apostles, monitor the weather.......
Later,
Bones
