Trangia gas burner v cheap Chinese version

[pjclinch]

By "nothing can go wrong" I mean nothing that can fail or break down in the device itself, seals, threaded parts, valves, clogged mouthpieces, etc.

Used for long enough the burner holes do tend to block up, but we're not in Serious Problem territory as wiggling a pin around in each one sorts it very quickly for the next few years.

The other Not Rocket Science tip is don't put it out with the lid but with the closed simmer ring, so you don't damage the seal in the lid. That way you minimise the chance of any fuel left in the burner leaking out of it while on the move.

I was going to say that you can clog up the burner holes, especially if you spill your food on it. Easy to fix but sometimes you do not have anything small enough for the holes when out and about with it. As a guy who can be a fool at times nothing is totally foolproof!!
