Trangia
Hi,
We have used gas cookers but while in Victoria OZ bumped into a guy with a Trangia. We thought it looked great so got one. TBH we wouldn't take anything else now. It is bulky but when you way up the fact that it has a kettle - two pans and a burner all in the pack with two ally plates straped to it - it's not that bad.
Tips we learned. Take the spirit burner and use it when you have fuel or if you have to use it in the tent. The MSR petrol burner is good but blackens the pans but you can always get petrol.
Get a 2nd larger fry pan and place it over the 1st when cooking - speeds up cooking. You can also stack pans to keep food warm on top while the bottom pan is cooking and the cooker is stable.
Scratch a mark inside the kettle for 1 and 2 cups of water - saves heating to much.
Cheers
