I have a Trangia alcohol stove and an Esbit stove. I have used the Esbit stove for years, but have just recently bought the Trangia stove so I am not to familiar with it right now. The little I have played with it it seems it will do fine. I have used and made a couple of the pepsi can stoves over the years too, And like every one else between the Esbit and pepsi can stove it's a toss up and just depends on what you want to carry. Both have their pros and cons. The only thing I would suggest is go to one of the links above and no matter which stove you choose make one or two of the pepsi can stoves, if nothing else you can always flip it over and use Esbit tabs with it.
