Yeah it's for Japan, seems like they have good gas availability, but the gas stoves don't seem to simmer which seems crucial for actual cooking. Seems like if you want to simmer you have to get a trangia or a really expensive expedition grade multi fuel thing which seems a bit overkill

I might be missing something here, or you might be using 'simmer' in a technical way I'm not familiar with, but my gas stoves have adjustable heat so you can get whatever level of heat you require and I can certainly simmer water/stew etc.

I’m big fan of trangias, but I don’t think you could say they’re better at simmering than gas!
It’s ‘turning down a dial’ vs ‘trying to put a hat on a fire’Think the main advantages of a trangia is that you get everything in one kit, and you definitely can do proper cooking with them, as many people will confirm.
Although wouldn’t recommend frying an egg in the non-stick frying pan.
I’m sure you can find meths / de. alcohol in Japan.

Think big question is which fuel system you want to use - gas / alcohol / multi.
Saw you post something about a trip to Japan. So if this is for that, worth bearing in mind fuel availability.
Obviously can’t take it on the plane.
We went on an overseas (walking) trip recently, and borrowed a petrol stove for that reason.
