You must have the newer trangia of titanium or aluminum. Mine is the old brass heavy one. It did burn well but seemed to use more fuel to boil water than the pop can stove. After using both in the woods a couple of weeks ago, the pop can seemed to be better on fuel than the trangia. I will say that the trangia burned like there was no tomorrow.

As I understand it the brass construction is best due to it's warming the fuel propoerly to allow efficent burning. I'm also a convert to the Trangia after having been given one by Glenn from Ohio <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> (Thanks again Glenn). It's been pefected over the years, and as Hooty says it's so nice to use, 'it'll make you want to get one tattoed on yer arse!" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Chaz i say keep the hat, as it'll be worth it's weight in gold to you if the temps drop unexpectedly on a trip. I always carry a wool watchcap to wear around camp at night, and only find myself sans watchcap in the dog days of Summer.
