Eva's journal

I looked up the Trangias -- those are really cool! I've never seen anything like that in the US, but we tend to use a lot of propane-fired stoves. My household actually doesn't use firepits, both because they're rarely allowed (same reason as Visby -- fire hazards) and because we have some folks with asthma. I understand the charcoal thing, too; I imagine that a Trangia is much like the gas stove I have in my kitchen. Once the flame is out, it's out.
