Stove Effeciency in the Field

We all know that a poor stove set-up wastes fuel, and a using
additional tools, like a pot parka, saves fuel beyond a “normal good
set-up.” But how much does fuel consumption differ with stove set-up?

We put it to the test by testing three Whisperlite stoves with three
different treatments. We controlled as many variables as we could by
testing the same stove under each of the three treatments, always using
the same amount of fuel, always pumping the stove the same amount,
always heating 2 liters of water, and always starting with water of the
same temperature. Here’s what we found.
