Yep, the Moulder Strip is what I use too. It is pretty much a permanent part of my winter kit. I use a silicone wristband to hold it to the canister:

I've got a youtube video up showing it working.

Curious if this would work.

My wife and I use an inverted canister setup for deep winter trips, meaning morning temps in single digits or below, and when serious power is needed, like when melting snow for all of our water needs. Those copper strip things didn't cut it when we tried one on such a trip, though I bet it works fine for the Bartram thing the op is asking about.
On such trips for us, we just warm the canister in our jacket, making it good for one boil, before having to warm it again. It's also important to shake each time before use to move propane and butane together, as they stratify. I usually buy Snow Peak, after reading some reviews of various mixes and brands
That strip looks like what I used on mine, found it my junk box. Worked good last winter.

I slip a shake and bake hand warmer under a rubberband around the canister. I activate it before I leave my warm cocoon, heat the canister while I cook and use it again to warm my fingers as I pack up. One per morning & one for night if there isnt a fire; just the weight and carry it out weight for that isnt a big deal on my Winter trips that only last 4 nights tops. The heat transfer strip works well too and no trash to deal with. I'm going to make one and test it. Thanks.
Would this work well? At $8.75 it seems like a good price since you could make 16 at 5"x1".

Well, my "original source" is simply my background as an engineer, but since you want an online source, here ya go:

Different densities mean they will stratify, give 'em a shake before using, this has to help and cannot hurt.
Edit: My original year+ old post should have said "to mix the propane and butane together", not "to move", not sure why I would have said "to move" other than the usual brain fart.

Online source says nothing about stratification separation of combined liquid propane/butane
The link was to show that the densities are quite different.
Gravity. Physics. Liquids with varying densities stratify. Inevitable. Not sure why anyone would not understand this, but there you go.
This would be especially important in the morning when the canister has been sitting motionless all night. If the canister is being handled a bit, the resulting mixing might be enough. but I always just give a little shake to make sure, doesn't take much.
I've learned in the past not to argue on here, especially with some folks, especially with "experts". I won't comment or respond any more on this, no point.

Definitely can't hurt to shake it, but around 1/3 capacity and lower there isn't much propane left anyway.
However, in the "advanced techniques department," when the ambient temperature is very low and the remaining volume of fuel is low and there is barely any vaporized fuel coming out of the burner, it is possible to open the valve fully and invert the stove/canister to let some liquid fuel into the burner — sort of a wet-priming for canister stoves — and light it, which can help kickstart the copper strip's thermal feedback loop. Yes, it will flare up a bit but as long as it isn't near a tent wall or your eyebrows or clothing it won't hurt anything. But I find people are generally, and unnecessarily, concerned about stove priming flare-ups and think they're a big deal even with a Whisperlite, so I'd say don't try this if you're skittish about that kind of thing.

Get yourself a canister of BOSS torch fuel. Estimated to have 70% propane for cold weather. The canister has a Lindal valve that the BRS3000t will screw onto.
It has worked well on my stoves.
Is the elastic band just to adapt it to fit the stabilizer?
