Stoves - talk to me.

I have an 8x10x 1/4 inch plywood chopping board for camping. Round the corners off and it's great and weighs very little. I take a good quality kitchen knife, and I have a leather scabbard which fits my 8" sabbatier. I'd previously made cardboard and duck tape scabbards before I came across the leather one. Worth taking a small fountain pen sized diamond hone in case some clown blunts your knife cutting up a scouring or similar moronicness. A swiss army knife is an Ok substitute for a proper knife

For a cooking knife I can heartlly recommend this.

So good that I use it every day at home.

The blade locks.

My small chopping board cost 99p from lidl, prefer it to using the trangia disc.

Good hardware stores normally stock meths.
That where I'll look for it when on tour in the UK.
When at home I get it from Wilko for £3.50 for 500 ml.

If you find the meths is blackening the bottom of your pans with soot then adding a little water to the meths will stop this.
It also cools the flame so it takes longer to bring things to the boil but you get a more gentle simmer if you want to cook something like pasta.

Luck ..........

Instead of meths I use bioethanol as it burns cleaner and is £4 for a litre at Blacks

I can manage with a SAK on occasion but keeping it clean for routine kitchen use is tricky and you may use the blade for dirty stuff like removing bits from tyres

best multi-function knife (for the money) is an Opinel

We supply a number 6 - 9 carbon with each Trangia set to Scouts
We recommend they get the number 6 stainless steel version personally.

(They can then spend hours branding their own knife with a red hot tent peg)

UCO Switch for mine, use it every day, and camping too. I've just been testing it out the last few weeks.

I have an MSR Alpine Chef's Knife that comes with a plastic sheath. They also do a smaller one.
