Does this look reasonable to the seasoned stove gurus? Took a while to boil with a less optimal setup than that, am i missing something? My cup is slightly smaller than the legs, so I imagine some heat is being lost upwards.

I've been walking, kayaking and more recently bike touring with combinations of this lot for a fair while now.
The SnowPeak aluminium billies are quite new but the stove, an Optimus Svea 123 has been in existence since the late '70's.
Prior to my aluminium pot concession to lighter weight I used to lug around 1 or 2 steel billies.

Thanks to lots of inspiration from this thread, I ended up with a Kovea Spider and a MSR ceramic two pot system. Very pleased with it so far, but nothing properly serious done with it yet.
I've put a few photos, a review and some burn/boil statistics as well as gas usage rates on my blog:

Thanks again for all the ideas and feedback on this thread

My Flatcat universal windshield has arrived - pricey but nice addition to the travel kitchen.
I'm supposed to be in the first test ride this weekend to shakedown all the gear - but I'm nursing a broken arm and rib instead - I didn't land the jump on the pump track!
Playing with the new gear is a small consolation

Care of the Mountain Designs 40% off sale we now have Sea to Summit sporks and plates - initial thoughts are they look good but the test will be feeding the kids!

My kit:
- Trangia 27 series cook set.
- Wooden Spoon
- Small stainless steel tongs
- A purple plastic frisbee which I use as a cutting board or a plate
- Australian Army KFS set (though I lost the spoon)
- Asian Soup Spoon (the type you use at Vietnamese Restaurants)
- Lighter/Matches
- Cleaning Cloths
- One Scotchbrite Scourer/Sponge cut in half
- A couple of Chux towels for other cleaning
- Small Green Tea-towel.
- 1L SIGG Fuel Bottle for Methylated Spirits.
Then the food itself largely depends on where I am going, the season, how far/long. Since acquiring the trangia, I have discovered that one small onion, one large potato, one carrot, some meat and a little gravy powder makes up a very nice helping of stew for one person. I use an insulated bag, buy the meat on the way to campsite and usually buy a small bag of frozen peas or corn to keep the meat cool.
