If you just need a cheap Trangia type stove, Argos Extra are doing a Hi Gear "clone" for £7.99 with a wire pan support in a little nylon bag (see pic).

That will not like wind! Invest in some tinfoil to make a surround and use a paper punch to put air holes on one side. Still cheap as feck though. Is it a genuine trangia burner? The printing on the lid looks exactly like a proper one.

I don't think it's genuine Trangia but put them side by side and they are Identical. I doo think a foil windshield will be in order and there aren't any pots, it's just the cooker.

Cheers for the compliment Shinobi, when you're on my wage, cheap finds are a neccessity not an option lol :o):
