    Trangia problem...

    I have noticed this year that I sometimes struggle to unscrew the lid on my trangia stove. I can't get enough grip on it. Does anyone have this problem? I think it's my grip strength in maybe something to do with the stove still being warm when I screw the lid back on? Any advice appreciated.
