> How does the "mileage" compare on a Triangia vs. an MSR? The Trangia needs a new rubber ring for the lid once in a while.If the stove has been burning for long and has become hot it might go on burning the alcohol vapour, and this heat will damage the rubber seal. When i used a Trangia I allways carried a spare. Apart from that it will last forever. The Trangia wil boil 1 liter of water in 13 mins, and one liter of alcohol(97% denatured ethanol) will boil 35 liters of water. This compared with a MSR Whisperlite burning gas, where the figures are 5 mins and 70 l. Ther is an other swedish stove called Primus Himalaya (or MFS), which will burn kerosene, parafin, gasoline, propane, alcohol without rebuilding. Burning gasoline it should boil 1 liter water in 3 mins!
