I've had a Vargo Decagon for two years and it's great. Very simple design and it weighs nothing. I built my own wind screen from tin. It all fits inside of my mug/pot.

Anyone know anything about this one? The price is right.

Dang. I wound up ordering that one because I had a 30% off email that was still valid.
I also had a coupon. $25.00 buck shipped was a good deal, even if the stove sucks, the aluminum pots alone are worth that much.
You and I got some of the last ones. Sold out now. Heck you can get a replacement Trangia for about $17 shipped.
I may try soldering or patching the stove if that top crimp leaks as so many reviewers point out. Shouldn't be too hard.
I'm also intrigued by this, although it is considerably more $$. Titanium burner that can sub for a Trangia stove.
Milani74 thanks for your reply i was wondering if you have used the sterno stove with the trangia burners instead of sterno. mine seemed to work well with my military trangia. another stove i'am waiting on is the evernew titanium cross,made for the TI burner posted above but will work with the trangia civillian and military burnersMacintosh,
Ya, I've used the Sterno stove. It's ok, but is not efficient at all. I have a triagia too for an alcohol stove because you can seal it up with unused fuel but the best bang for the buck I've seen so far is the Emberlit. It's really nice to be able to not have to carry fuel at all, plus is super efficient.
I've used mine a bit now, and the stove doesn't leak. Their is a rubber gasket inside the screw top, and it holds fuel in tight.
