I just ordered a Trangia 27-7 Hard anodized with Primus burner...didn't need it but I've been wanting one for a long time ...besides I already had the teakettle for it......I wonder it it comes with bacon?...

I'd definitely recommend it When you say Primus burner, is that the gas system that you can connect to it? I only have the Trangia meths burner with mine - which works great.
Bringing this slightly back on topic. I was thinking that a very simple Coleman gas type stove might be just the thing to keep in the car. Simple and easy to use, it'll also boil up some water in no time at all.
I don't have the gas adaptor for the Trangia but my Dad and a couple of friends of mine all highly recommend them, they can't believe I'm happy with the old meths burner. I'll need to borrow one and find out what all the fuss is about.
Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) is not a suitable fuel because it is cut with water. Denatured alcohol (ethanol) is widely available here, which is probably the same as your "alcool etilico denaturato". Methanol is also available here in a product called "Heet", which is a gas tank antifreeze additive.

They're still pretty easy to come bu over here.
A very dull but probably quite practical solution for emergency overnight use...(Image removed from quote.)Just a thought
Arrgh, see with you've done to me Chrissy? I've ended up putting my old Trangia knock-off in the boot of the car, along with some coffee and a can of macaroni cheese.I'm so easily lead.
