… the pans are likely not “nontoxic” some independent testing and research suggests. Nor are they even “ceramic” – at least not in the way the public broadly thinks of ceramics. Now, regulators are investigating some of the pan sellers’ claims.

Excluding the rather silly clip on ring thing, all the TX type pots look to be plastic coated. Possibly not the kettle but I want access from the top. The Optimus terra range is great but again, stupid Teflon coatings on everything.
Also to the temp drop issue with gas, I didn’t watch the whole thing but a strong recommendation is to get a burner that can also run on kerosene for cold weather trips. Even propane sucks in the cold, liquid fuel will run rings around it.
Yeah, there’s a lot of pots that are coated and it sucks. However, the tests and methodology are not tied to them. It’s more about how to select different stoves and pots (e.g. lid or no lid?) than a particular product pick. For me, I didn’t even buy a new kit. All I did was learn how to optimize my existing kits.
Regarding temperature, I luckily haven’t had too much of an issue. Gas gets to sleep with me or hang out in my jacket if it’s that cold out. No need for white gas stoves, yet! Maybe someday if the very high mountains call to me.
