Preacher- What other stoves do you use or have you used?

MSR - 2 generations of Whisperlite
Primus - I forget the model, but it was like a jet engine
Coleman - The burner screws on to tall/tippy propane cans
Home Made Alcohol Stoves - Neat but too fussy for my preference.
And of course the Trangia.

Right off the top I'm against cannister stoves for weight overhead + environmental issues.

With these EtOH stoves... really how much control does one have; they are pretty much on or off right? Now the Triangia can burn the solid fuels, EtOH, and the wind screen can be messed with to burn wood and duff...right? Do you run an Outback Oven?

Trangia has excellent control with their simmer ring/snuffer.  The main advice I'll give is that you can't be afraid of fire.  It's a little tricky to use the simmer ring, but you get used to it with practice just like most gear.

I used to use the OO for years, but haven't recently.  I have seen others do it, had a very nice pizza in Temagami one day!

Thanks!  Something for me to do while watching TV!
