    Someone posted the modified Esbit a couple of weeks ago and I was looking at the Trangia then. I don't have the Tig/Heli arc so it was just a nice read.

    That was me, I did that mod. As far as the Trangia mod, there are other ways to attach those same legs w/o the Tig/Heli arc.

    I thought about bees wax but then there's that whole flying close to the sun thing. Oh, wait. That's another story. Never mind.
