This is not true for Trangia burners - when you're done cooking, extinguish with the closed simmer ring, then there is a screw top which you can use to save any remaining fuel (after the stove has cooled down - you need to wait a couple of minutes, otherwise risk damaging the O-ring on the cap). So you can just fill it up and go, no need to worry about having to waste some at the end by being required to burn off.
