I've scoured post after post. I'm trying to figure out at what point a white gas setup becomes "lighter/better" than a canister setup for a family of 4. I have found tons of info on alcohol vs canister in this regard, but nothing on white gas vs canister. The best info I got was that canisters are best of individuals and groups may want to consider white gas.

Figure with a family of 4 we will be cooking basically the equivalent of 3 solo hikers in terms of calories. Would a single canister stove be able to keep up with that?
