Not sure if this is the one in question but I have seen this one and it was well made.

But then aluminum foil can solve that problem easily and lightly enough.

Ummm, no. It was made for me by a friend out of a discard aluminium road sign to the design of a British stand that went out of production 20 or more years ago. I'll try to set up some photographs to show how it works, but it's still in storage boxes somewhere in the garage. It works really well because the Trangia burner is a tight fit in the middle of the stand, and it is wide enough to take a standard Trangia pot without it slipping off.
On wind screens, ensure you have holes punched into the bottom in sufficient numbers to ensure that there is enough air getting to the flame to keep it alight. The holes might be punched on only one half, or all the way around. The Trangia stand itself has airholes on one side so that in windy conditions, the amount of air and therefore the heat can be controlled by turning the holes more into or out of the wind.

I believe the Sierra Club had some recipe books out for hikers in similar situations. One was called Cooking for Camp and Trail, and the other was called Food for Knapsackers. In Cooking for Camp and Trail's Cornish Pasty recipe, I would substitute rutabaga for the turnips. Sonofa***** Stew(p.46)also good, if you like beef brains.

I have a Trangia question - What's the largest size pot you regularly use with it? Or put another way - how much water can it boil in a reasonable amount of time? I have one that came with a small pot/fry pan combination and I really like using it, but have really only used it on short day tours in the winter to make tea or coffee. Lately, I've been playing around with it a little more - making breakfast for my son out on the patio just for kicks.
I'm thinking about taking it instead of the whisperlite on an upcoming tour, but wonder whether it's up to the task of cooking for 2 adults and 2 kids.
Thanks -

I volunteer to act as food critic and judge, tough job I know but somebody has to sacrifice here.
Rowan and Digga those look scrumptious ! You guys can tour with me anytime where I'll supply whatever foods you need and you supply the cooking expertise.

Normally in Australia, I take along powdered milk (as opposed to the granulated stuff in North America). The brands I use mix really nicely. An evening power drink comprises two heap large teaspoons of sugar, powdered milk and Milo (a chocolate malt powder here in Aus) in a large mug and filled with hot water.
You can see in the first pair of pictures how the pot with stew has blackened on the outside with a lot of use. And for the other pair of pictures, if we haven't brought something for wine, a the bottom third cut off a 600ml plastic Coke bottle with a Swiss Army knife or pair of scissors works a treat, too.

Vino! How could I forget the vino???
But back on topic, give me the trangia any day. I don't need to boil a pot of water in 23.445 seconds. After a long day in the saddle there are few better things I can think of than taking my time preparing and cooking my evening meal with a couple of glasses of red. Ahhh...

Love the Trangia also. So simple, and, I find, not so slow. I boil enough water for a couple of cups of coffee in ten minutes. What's ten minutes? In fact, if I've nothing else to do, sitting there watching the world is a pleasure.
I've got three or four stove sets. One of my favourites is the Swedish Army unit. It's a bit bigger and heavier, but so well designed. and cheap off ebay (the burner, which is a bigger unit cooks slower, which can actually be an advantage with some foods), but I tend to use the normal burner. Take two burners if you want/need to get a boil on quicker.
Also love the Swedish trangia for its panset, which is marked for rice and water, and has a Smaller pan which sits in top over the bigger pan. The rice is cooked when the top pan rises out of the bottom pan. Genius.
