  1. Always cook inside your tent

    Always use a cartridge stove

    Warm weather use a Jet Boil

    Cold weather use a MSR Reactor

    . . .

    Sit up in the tent while cooking with a stove inside...limits the chance of carbon dioxide poisoning by being lower in the tent, like laying down would.

    Or just use a stove that doesn't put out 10-100 times the CO of other stoves. I am sure you've seen the test results on backpackinglight.com but if you haven't... The Reactor doesn't come with the huge CO warning tags for kicks. Be careful.

     

    FWIW, I can tell you, having extensively tested both the JetBoil and Reactor stoves, that the JetBoil (at high output) produces far more CO than the Reactor. The Reactor stove at high output (which is how a majority of folks are going to use the stove), relative to competing stoves, produces little CO. While still not per se "safe" to use inside a tent (especially without proper venting), CO wise, the Reactor stove should be your choice.
