Canister stoves are better for high altitudes, but at most high altitudes, it is much colder. And white gas is much more common in other countries than canister fuels are. So, White gas stoves can be used just about anywhere, at any altitude, in any conditions.

Just put the canister on a scale! Each canister lists how much fuel it carries, typically in ounces. When you weigh a partially-used canister, you can find out how many ounces you have left. Easy!
