This is because the liquid is a mixture of propane and butane which needs to be pressured. You will struggle to ignite this if the pressure outside becomes too cold when temperatures plummet. There is a piezo electric ignition located at the base of the stove which worked everytime (I owned this stove for about two years), even with a pan in place.I would recommend investing in two or three spare gas canisters, just in case your gas runs out mid-session.
