Now let's say you wanted a reliable stove. No, not just ordinary reliable, I mean reliable. Really reliable. A stove that will operate under any conditions. A stove you could leave in the trunk of your car for years, fuel it up, and it would work fine. A stove that just doesn't quit. I mean does such a thing even exist?
in the post that began this thread, yes, I was engaging in a bit of hyperbole, but the Trangia really is that reliable, particularly if run as designed (on alcohol). If you absolutely must have a stove that will work no matter what, the Trangia is that stove.
