Yup, I've also got one - in the loft with the other Trangia stuff!

So, really the Trangia is class on it's own.
You're dead right - for weight, bulk and low efficiency!

On my Coast to Coast walk in May, I used the MSR Pocket Rocket stove
Another trecking fashion accessory! The Coleman 'F1 Lite' is lighter, cheaper and as efficient or more so than the 'Pocket Rocket'.

along with the MSR Titan Kettle. This is called one pot cooking
I also use the MSR Titan Kettle. I wish I'd hung on before buying one - the 'clones' are now much cheaper (eg the 'Alpkit' one). I _only_ do 'one pot cooking'!

I have a 2 week cycle-camping tour next year and most likely to take the Trangia 27 for my cooking. The Trangia 27 will fit very nicely in the Ortlieb Front Roller Classic panner.
I guess the Trangia is fine for a bicycle (or wheelbarrow!)

The Honey Stove 2009 is a nice stove
Seems overpriced to me!

I was talking a old time cycle tourist and swears by the Trangia and is not stuck on these modern stoves nowadays.
Some people still swear by the 100 year old Optimus/Primus 96!

I've got loads of stoves, ranging from a hexi fueled 'Esbit' up to the Army No. 12 stove that was part of the Scorpion tank equipment.
