TRANGIA IN '08

Rank um, spank um. To me it does not matter which one works best in the lab. I found that by using the Trangia I got much better mileage -and this of course is due to the fact that I do not have to meter out the fuel, because I just snuff it, cool it and put the lid on. Being able to store fuel in the stove is the way to go and it cuts out a lot of the fiddle factor.
If you meter out too much fuel and cannot recover it then you have to burn it. If you meter out too little fuel you have to add more and re-light the stove. Honestly none of this makes any sense. Some folks say that after a while they know exactly how much fuel to put in their stove - baaaalony. All the external factors that play into burn times/boil times, such as air temperature, water temp, fuel temp, altitude, wind, ect.. change constantly and getting the perfect amount is only possible if you have too much to start with, put the stove out, and save the remainder.
