Pardon the stupid question, but are these refillable or throw away?

Refillable. I usually fill mine with water to make coffee or boil rice.

You're referring to the pots? Or the gas cookers? The cooker uses disposable canister fuel. The pot is a...........pot.

Forgetting the boiling water entirely for a minuite. How do you rate the pot as a cooking device for say some back steak or bacon?

Never tried. Only use it for dehy meals, rice and coffee. Mine would be absolutely hopeless. Bacon maybe but its like a big coffee mug, too deep and narrow. Eta do a pan

So after all this time how is the cooker going? just came across this thread last night and now thinking of getting one if they are still performing.

In my youth I spent 6 weeks hitch hiking and free camping in England. I carried a Trangia, meths burner as well as a Vango 4.5 kg tent. yup my pack was a fair weight, but I loved that Trangia at the end of the day. I have kept it and still use it regularly and although I like the convenience of gas, I still prefer the Trangia because: it is fool proof, it doesn't run out of fuel halfway through cooking your porridge or rice, you can buy meths anywhere. and it is great to use in bad weather or on windy exposed places, and with practice you always know how much you can cook with the fuel you have left. With the readily available titanium pots now, a Trangia burner would be perfect for me as the only real disadvantage is the weight of the aluminum pots that come with the Trangia kit. I have even seen Trangia copies made from titanium now on Trademe. Gas is convenient until you run out halfway through your cook, but meths is foolproof as with practice you always know how long a fill will last...just don't knock your bottle over!

Jetboil minimo,with fry pan accessory, can simmer as well. Plus coffeee plunger
