Like Sandy, I'm sold on my alcohol-burning Trangia. I have a Trangia 28
(Mini-Trangia) that works very well for what I want it to do. It's not real
good at heavy cooking, but will cook small amounts of stuff for an
individual pretty well, in conditions that aren't too extreme. Problem:
since Campmor quit stocking them, they are not easy to find any more. MSR
supposedly imports them, and perhaps you can get your favorite outdoor
store to order one.
