Buy the trangia you won't regret it I bought one 12 years ago and it's still going strong, and it's had some abuse over the years, cooked a great fry at the hares gap on Saturday on the way back from ben crom, hard to beat a trangia fry up!

On a budget?  Check out sites like ebay and Gumtree.  Here's a link I had been looking at about rucksacks:-

Also get into TK Maxx they usualy have plenty of outdoor kit- including waterproofs.

Don't abandon the Trangia.  It's worth waiting for.

If your tryig to get one cheap I'd have a look at the Swedish army surplus ones. You can pick them up for very little.
