Snow melting isn't the place for an UL unit so Rogers current UL isn't an option although I am sure it would work
It all depends, doesn't it?
My V1 remote inverted canister stove has a small area of pot support - care needed with large pots.
My V2 however has a MUCH larger pot support, and should handle quite large snow pots at very low (way sub-zero) temperatures. (Be reasonable about the diameter though!)
Often, 'UL' means that the stove has been designed to be light and is made of materials like aluminium and titanium, rather than big lumps of steel and brass. The XGK makes a good mallet for tent pegs.
I have used metho, shellite, kero and gas (et al). Metho is heavy and slow. Kero stinks to blazes. Shellite goes whoomp when you are least expecting it. Gas ... just works. Had to make warm milk last week for breakfast - it was somewhere between -7 C and -10 C. Kosci, but with summer gear. Skating on thin (thick?) ice in places.

Ice in tarn was at least 5 mm thick. I had to smash it to get water.
