>>2011767white gas handwarmers are better, lasts up to 12 hours on 1 charge instead of 6 hours per charcoal stick. Better for day trips or for having something that will run overnight
for longer trips charcoal is easier to refill (carry extra sticks), but white gas isn't that much harder if you already have a whisperlite fuel bottle or carry a small bottle with a couple oz of fuel
