I do not flip canisters upside down. A dish of water is adequate to keeping the iso mixes burning efficiently in cold temps. Put the canister in the water, doesn't matter that it's cold, just has to be water. My experience has been that if it is warm enough for H2O to exist as a liquid when it is not flowing then I do not have any problems using cannisters upright, but maybe that is down to the cannisters I buy and or the lower elevations I usually camp at.

The last time I had to do this, it was in the low 20s. Water doesn't flash freeze, but it will freeze if out long enough.... I used water from the hot water nalgene I had in the footbox, because standing water had a sheet of ice on it.

Yea, after noticing that canister fuel cans did indeed, not work so well when the canister is cold, I made it a habit to let the fuel canister spend the night in my quilt; down at my feet, if I was going to use the fuel canister in the AM.
