I bought the Trangia based upon reviews and it’s long standing reputation. After having tried several alcohol stoves they always seemed a bit finicky to me. Hassles with carrying and pouring the fuel, flimsy pot support systems, inefficiency in the wind, etc., kept me from full adoption. The Trangia addresses all of these problems. Being able to store 2 oz. of fuel in the stove and the robust wind protection and pot support makes this stove a pleasure to use. You can almost entirely forget about the wind, just set it up wherever and you’re good to go. Fantastic! Now, if it were only lighter.
