It turns out that MSR still has the Mini-Trangia 28 in their current catalog. If you're interested, I didn't check, but if you can't order direct from MSR > You can't. Or, at least, you can't walk into their office for one. I called them last week (or maybe the week before) about this. I'd ordered one 4 or 5 months ago through a Seattle gear shop, which never arrived. MSR claimed last week that their new stock was in transit from Sweden, so I asked the retailer to re-order it. No sign of it yet. Since it's and *alcohol* stove, it would be appropriate if someone started bootlegging the things over the border! By now, I suspect everyone involved is bored with much ado about a $28 stove. (I mean me, MSR and the dealer, not Paddlewisenheimers.) Mike Wagenbach You might take a look at www.piragis.com - they handle Trangia and have a #23 listed - don't know how it compares to the #28 - looks to be very economical and compact. They also have the Sierra Zip Stove, which was discussed a while back. Piragis Northwoods Company is a Boundary Waters outfitter, and they also have a nice on-line catalogue. Good reliable people from my experience with them - standard disclaimer yada yada yada ....
