My friends in our local touring club laugh at me since I am known to have the most extensive collection of stoves around. After many years I have finally arrived at what I consider to be the best of the lot - the Trangia. I don't use the little one but the one that comes with two pots, a frying pan and integral windscreen. Marvelous! Absolutely quiet, performs incredibly well in the wind, no moving parts to wear out or jam and fuel is available everywhere (paint stores, hardware stores, service stations where is it sold as gas line anti-freeze in the colder climates). It simmers like no other stove I have had and although it is slower on the water boiling test, I figure if you're on the road "What's the rush?"
