Question 1

My new kovea spider arrived with instructions in korean only. are instructions available in english online?

Accepted Answer

I just bought one too from Amazon and all the instructions are in Korean!

Question 2

any problems using this cold weather?

Accepted Answer

It's pretty much designed for cold weather. Just light it, turn the flame down as low as it'll go, then carefully/slowly invert the canister and readjust the flame. I've used this in the high teens/low 20s °F to melt snow and cook.

Question 3

Can the Kovea lpg adaptor be used with this stove in order to burn 16 oz. propane canisters?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can, but the stove fuel line is a little bit short when it is connected to a 16 oz. propane canister. It is safe and fuel efficient to feed canister fuel in vapor form instead of liquid form. When you connect Kovea spider stove to a 16 oz. propane canister through Kovea lpg adaptor, you need to put the canister in vertical position which is harder to put a wind screen around the stove. It does work OK. I would wish the stove fuel line is a little longer.If there are some Asian grocery stores in your location, I would recommend to use Kovea dual stove adaptor available from Amazon which allow you to connect to 8 oz. 100% butane canister. Butane canister is almost the same price as propane canister and it is much lighter because the gas pressure is lower. When you use 8 oz. 100% butane canisters, make sure the notch on the canister face up, so it feed fuel in vapor form instead of liquid form. 8 oz. 100% butane canisters are also available from Amazon, but local Asian grocery stores have better price. The instruction manuals for both Kovea lpg adaptor and Kovea dual stove adaptor are in Korean, not in English, but it is easy to figure out how to use them. For more information about these two adaptors you can Google "Adventures In Stoving" which contains more detail information.

Question 4

What fuel or fuels will this stove burn?

Accepted Answer

Iso-butane.... which comes in small & large pressurized canisters made by MSR, Jetboil, giga power, Primus, Coleman etc.  A propane (lpg) adapter may be purchased to permit the use of more commonly found standard green 1lb propane tanks
