I thought I would make this a seperate thread rather than hijack the fuel bottle one, I love my Trangia stove, sure it is a little bulky but no more than any other decent stove, I have tried them all, gas, pressurized paraffin, but the Trangia is the best IMHO, it lights in any weather, is stable and you can safely cook in the tent porch, plenty of options, I have a deep pan, frying pan and kettle, you can even do toast, fuel is easy to get. Many times have I set up in a windy field with other cyclists and been seen to be enjoying a hot cup of tea while others are still trying to light their gaz stoves.
I am aware there are cheaper copies which are just as good but it had to be genuine Trangia for me for one simple reason, when I was a kid I could not afford one but really wanted one so when I could afford it I bought one. It has travelled the world with me on cycle and motorcycle, up mountains and on canoe adventures, it is the one stove I would recommend to anyone without hesitation.
I'm talking about the meths version.
