I have a Snow Peak stove and it works great for what I use it for. When I am in the backcountry I only boil water with it which means that one of those small canisters can last me 5 days if I am careful. However I always take along an unnecessary second canister because I have read of cases where backpackers had problems with the canister not re-sealing when the stove is removed and the gas slowly leaks out and then they are stuck with no fuel. I have NEVER had this happen in dozens of trips, but out of fear I take along the added weight of a second canister. Does anyone know of or use some kind of small screw cap on the canister to make sure no gas escapes after the stove is removed? If I could find something like that I would leave the second canister in truck and enjoy a lighter pack.
