Use to use a Trangia but went to a Jetboil Personal to save space and weight as well as having all the benifts that it provides. Good size cup on the bottom, great size cooking cup/pot, very quick and very efficient. Could not see a need for going any other way.

Jet boil is the only way to go they are compatible with MSR Isopro cannisters...........recently did a 5 day hike over the baw baws (fuel stove only area) and came back with the cannister at least still 3/4 full

Old thread I know but I've got one of these pocket camp stoves, very handy item and they cook very well. Drawback being it is no good for inside a tent with a floor as it burns what ever fuel you can pick up, sticks, pine cones, etc it does get sooty also but it comes with it's own carry bag and you can hang it on the outside of your pack.

They also work very well with a trangia metho burner instead of tinder and twigs
