On to stoves; which one(s) to keep, and why?

SVEA 123, pre-R, times at least a couple
Trangia alcohol burner
Thru-Hiker alcohol burner
MSR Pocket Rocket
MSR XGK
Primus Classic Trail




Shid, your missing a wood burner.


I have a couple Esbit stoves that can burn wood, but yes a true wood burner is missing.

Damn it... wink

Wood burners are a fun sub-category, but if you could only have one, buy and Emberlit.

Like Travis, I collect stoves rather than sell. I just keep eye'n and buyin', and have collected way more than I need.........or could justify if I had to.

Of your list, I'd for sure keep the SVEAs, XGK and Trangia. Three classics that work every time.

BTW, my Jetboil Flash is probably the most heavily used. Very convenient and fast when all I need is hot water.
