I forgot to mention that if you keep your fuel bottles in your sleeping bag (or in a cooler), they'll work a lot better in below freezing weather.  You might consider bringing along some of those heat packets you use for hand warmers.  Tape one to the bottle and it will make a big difference.  Especially if you wrap the bottle in a sock or small towel to help insulate it.  Those gas bottles are notoriously finicky in cold weather.
