>> I agree with Wes, it is very difficult to find this wonderful stove anywhere. I have the Trangia 25 which is a much bigger version with wind screen supports, two pots 1.5 and 2 qt, fry pan lid and burner. It has served me well for elaborate recipes as well as just boiling water. The problem that this stove faces in the US is the burn time. I have timed the stove against another person with a conventional MSR stove and by the time they assemble, pump, etc. my stove is almost finished boiling. Not to mention the fact that it is basically unbreakable. I do alot of beach camping and have had a couple of stoves clog up because of the harsh saltwater environment and the sand but this stove can't possibly clog. All you do is pour the alcohol in the little burner cup and light it. >> *************************************************************************** Hmm -- maybe what we need is a twig-burning stove like the Zip stove with a Trangia insert for those trips where there are no twigs to be found!
