I was going to post a picture but apparently i'm not allowed to. Basically i have a Swedish army trangia i bought a few years back but never got around to using for more than the occasional brew on a day trip. Took it out for my recent trip to Norway and the burner seemed to have reacted with the aluminium inside the cooker and created this strange residue on both burner and mess tin. I cleaned both and the burner came out fine, but the inside of the mess tin seems to have had the finish of the aluminium removed where it was in contact with the burner. On top of this shortly after my girlfriend used it to boil some tomatoes for about 10 minutes and now there are several little black pits at the bottom of it.
Again a picture might make this clearer but apparently i can't attach one to the post. Should i keep using it and accept it's just not pretty any more, or is there a case for replacing it?
