I don't think it's off topic considering how most sea kayaking trips

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
