trangia stoves
 

anyone know where to purchase these online (in the US)

i've seen mostly european sites, and would rather not pay international shipping

REI has them.

greatoutdoorsdepot has them, yes - but not the 27-2, of the 27 series they only have the 27-5 (gross non-stick)

.... and if money no object get this bit as well ....

Nothing wrong with non-stick, makes washing up easier. What you want to try not to get is the basic model of pure aliminum. The steel mix is good, non-stick is good too

thanks for the advice all..

i got the 27-5 series, and am excited to try it out. i did want the kettle also but they only have the 25 series kettle - any idea on where to get the smaller kettle... or should i ask - is the kettle necessary?

For future reference - Trangias are available in the USA
