Yep, spot on.
We've been using ours for zillion times throughout many years and it's really bomb-proof, indestructible really. Works even in extreme winds. Good up for feeding 3 people.
Costs nothing (especially compared to Trangia trademarked set) to buy it and you can get alcohol anywhere - we've found on this RTW trip that methanol is particulary cheap in third world (in Latin America you can find it in food stores, it is called "alcohol etilico"). In developed world the key words when you go looking for it in a construction/paint department seem to be "denatured alcohol" or "methyl hydrate". Do not try it with rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol (sold in pharmacies), it might explode.
Ride safe, Margus

You can buy these on Ebay for very little money .
I've made a couple of the pop can stoves and although they might get you out of a bind , they are a bit flimsy and don't work any better than the trangia burner which is tough and has a sealable lid so that you can save unburnt fuel for next time .
