As a result of the posts last year I bought a Trangia last year and like it very much. I went for the Duoseal (aluminum clad w stainless steel) to avoid cooking directly on aluminum. The kit fits together nicely and works well. I have been a long time MSR Whisperlight user and still use it along with the Trangia for group trips. For solo or two person trips I prefer the Trangia now. The ease of setup and clean fuel are big pluses. It seems to me that it burns more fuel than the MSR. I have had best luck with alcohol from REI. The drug store variety burned dirty. I found out later that I should have added water to it. The stove works very well in windy conditions with the built in windscreen. I highly recommend it.
