The thing is, the Trangia doesn't even look like a stove -- no knobs or
parts really. Just a little cup that fits into a windscreen. The fuel can
really be carried in anything as the alcohol is just poured into the stove
when needed. Maybe I should just carry the hooch in a whiskey bottle.

Made in Sweden, Trangia has a site at http://www.trangia.se/ and yes, MSR
does carry them in the US, but you rarely see the full stove sold anywhere
MSR stoves are carried. I smell a conspiracy! The only place I know of that
carries them in the midwest is Rutabaga in Madison.
