I've made and used the Pepsi-can stove but like the durability of the Trangia and have since switched. A Trangia-mini packs in it's own cook-pot with a skillet as lid. Good for 1-2 people - go with a bigger Trangia-kit if you cook big.

FWIW, I like alcohol stoves because spilled fuel doesn't contaminate everything - it evaporates - the fuel's cheap and in a pinch you can use any alcohol (gas-line antifreeze is Methyl-alcohol if there's no outfitter or hardware store handy)

I might consider a stove that ran on any kind of fuel (jet fuel, avgas, alcohol etc) if I were in more remote areas but you pay more for that privilage - a Trangia is what?... $20?
