Here's an alternative point of view: Trangias are very, very reliable for what they're good for. But it's difficult to actually cook with them. You can boil water, as long as you don't want to boil a lot of it and you're not in a big hurry, and they make great popcorn, but you can't cook. If you have raw ingredients and you want to cook them, you need an actual stove. -- -- Anne Paulson My hovercraft is full of eels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
