Great thread, Ive got a family sized trangia for most of my camping needs, it works perfectly every time and is the easiest and most reliably stove Ive ever used. However the kettle has gone missing so will need to be replaced once I pin down who actually lost it....
At the top of the thread the Primus stoves are amazing to look at but death traps compared to most other options. My dad has a couple he keeps nicely polished, but we have never used them in my life time. My Uncle got his out on a trip a few years ago to get an additional burner for tea while dinner was being cooked on the trangia. Luckily the fireball only set one (wet) tree on fire, which was easy to put out with the help of the rain.
Also enjoy the jet boil for coffee, as we have the cafetiere plunger add on thing. Its great for a pre walk drink however because its gas it only comes on a trip if Im driving/posh camping out the boot.
