In fact many of my trips have a primary focus of eating as much as possible, as well as washing everything down properly... but that last bit perhaps is a bit off topic... at least for this thread. So I ask you, what good is a Trangia stove? I remember my last trip, this funny foreign guy had one, and I just assumed that it was a funny foreign stove and not worth my attention since it didn't make an impressively big fireball when ignited followed by a pleasant low growling roar (aside: can you guess which stove I use?) But now that I have read Trangia's web page, which is remarkably uninformative on how it works and what the different options are, I am more interested in learning about them. I would really like to know more about this stove, and it seems that the Trangia may have a chance to replace my beloved whisperlite. Cheers, Kevin > >Campmor sells Triangla through its catalog.
