My FS100, with a rectangular cross-section of 130mm by 135mm, may not be wide enough to allow the burner to be fully opened...
If it is not (and I'll measure up in a shop first), then it is hobo stove time, hoping that one of those coke-can stoves will work instead.
On the bright side it would be a lot cheaper, but without the convenience/safety of having a screw shut top to my eventual burner.
May be the Honey Stove after all!!

The Trangia burner has a screw on cap ,which seals the burner and keeps any unburnt fuel inside .
The cap that you describe is the simmer ring ,an optional extra .
If you just want to boil water ,you don't use the simmer ring.
You can make a "narrow " simmer ring quite simply by cutting a hole out of the bottom of a pop can.
You just drop it over the flame.
[Low tech and not Touratwatish --but it works . ]
