I love my trangia. Cap screws on. I still take a pint bottle of alcohol. Also have this stand which i like because it collapses and fits in my pots with the stove and my spork. Only thing I need to get is a windbreak

I have a trangia, though I don't use it that much. I'd use a Firebox Nano with it.
 If you use a stove enough you'll find that you can measure the appropriate amount of fuel, negating the need for a screw top lid. |

I have both. The Pathfinder version is just a bigger trangia.

No I'd just use sticks and such if I was carrying a wood burner like that (I happen to prefer a solo stove) Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I have this Esbit cookset which includes a Trangia-style burner with screw-on lid and snuffer, platform to use hexamine tablets, pot stand/windscreen, a 33.3 oz. pot, and 15.9 oz. pot that doubles as a lid. Weight empty is 14.7 oz. The pots and stand are hard anodized aluminum. Esbit also sells the alcohol burner separately.
  It's a nice little setup. |

I went into REI asking if they had Transgia type stoves, two different guys that worked there said they've never heard of anything like that before. I was like

It's funny you mention REI as I don't think I've ever seen an alcohol stove in an REI  They sell alcohol and alcohol specific fuel bottles, but I can't ever recall seeing an alcohol stove...

You piqued my curiosity, so I looked and they do list the Vargo Decagon on their website (my understanding is that's not even a very good stove), but it's not in stock anywhere near me. |

I've been pondering getting a cheaper alcohol stove just to try one out if anyone can make a recommendation. My trusty old MSR Whisperlight has been as 'ultralight' as I've gotten, but it's been my go-to since the early '90s

Yeah, I noticed it on the website, but I don't think I've ever seen an alcohol stove in one of their stores (Atlanta area). It makes sense as most are easily built or purchased for under $10.00...REI has to carry a titanium version that costs three-four times as much  To be honest, my wife bought one a while back and prefers the less expensive soda-can stove.

Another good, inexpensive stove: Top Jet Stove Zelph has a wealth of info and his famous "fancy feast" stoves as well. Trangia isn't lightweight, but they are great investment and good "learner" stove to experiment. ROCK6 |
