I don’t know. How do you explain the Trangia gas adaptor?
I explain it by using it in preference to the spirit burner, being more controllable, cleaner and simpler to use. While still retaining the advantages of what I think of as the inherent Trangiaosity of the thing: the most stable, best wind-shielded lightweight stove out there, neatly packaging its pan set in to the windshield and base for transport.

Depending on your priorities and situation any of the common fuels might be deemed 'most suitable'. Outside of that, personal preference and habituation are important too.
cheers

I have never seen one but I fail to understand how it could be simpler to use compared with spirits.

Secondly, it’s pressurised gas just waiting to go off (fire bomb). Thirdly, where the hell am I gonna find the containers? Lastly, does the fuel clean a host of stuff, notably wounds?

OP, I use a Trangia and have had no issues with sticky porridge.
I've got the hard anodised Trangia but I've never had problems with sticky porridge even with alu. The trick AFAICS is to stir it well right from the start when still cold and get all the oats surrounded and separated by water. Then stir again, and again. I use a wooden spoon.
PS I would try to avoid aluminium if you can and personally I wouldn't touch non-stick with a barge pole (let alone a metal implement). But I did say personally, YMMV.

WIth porridge, generally, and camping-wise, if you serve then soak immediately in cold water, the remains of the porridge solidifiies suddenly and lifts off making washing the pot easy.

+ 1 Generally I find it ready to clean off well before I've finished packing up in the morning - you just have to remember to soak it straightaway.

Poor water into paper container. Eat from paper container .. it is water proof. The cup gives stability and heat retention. When finished - open out the paper and consume the dregs. Usually 2 of them suffice for a quick breakfast. No washing up other than the spoon which is licked fairly clean anyway.
