Leaning towards a Trangia or something else that uses meths but have heard that they are slower and that meths can be hard to find in some places. Cycling through France this summer, will that be a problem there?
Are gas canisters specific to certain stoves? I have an irrational feeling they are more likely to blow up in a pannier than a meths fuel bottle is in a bottle cage.
I use the screw on butane cannisters with a burner that sits separately. Fed up of trying to balance pans on nearly empty cans... Seems to work well, nice and quick and you don't have to worry about excess meths.
What stoves would people recommend?
