    Google Trangia Simmer Ring. They are all over the web. About $3-4 bucks.

    Rick and Crash:

    Thanks for the compliments.

    The set-up does work well for me. I paid dearly for that OPTIMUS pot, ($25) but it was the PERFECT size...... and well, you know the rest of the story....

    My own experience of course is not anyone elses

    I like the small folding butane stoves using pressurized fuel. The alcohol stoves are nice to carry, but here in Az temperature extremes are common, and shifts of 50-70 degrees are as well. I need a stove that lights every time with little warning or fuss.

    1-2 pulls on the igniter crystal and its burning, and the water is heating . Hypothermia is more common out here than most believe because of how nice it is most days, but it still kills as many as heat does

    Don't toss it. Put it in the "extra" gear box. You never know when you may need a backup...
    When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!
