If you're looking for a stove to boil water in 2 minutes flat, sounding like a jet engine then look elsewhere!This stove runs on denatured alcohol or methylated spirits, which is available to buy at any hardware store. Running on Meths has it's advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are: It's quiet - nearly silent in fact. Great for that "Getting back to nature" experience. The fuel is cheap. No empty gas canisters to throw away. You always know how much fuel you've got left (Just by looking). The flame, once lit, is *really* hard to blow out. The disadvantages are: It can be hard to start in near freezing conditions, the flame is virtually invisible, there isn't much energy in Meths as there is in gas canisters,

This is an excellent stove which I must have used at least 30 times since purchase.I'm not sold on the redesigned cap which apparently offers a 'simmer' function. It doesn't work very well and once hot makes it difficult to use to snuff out the flame. Instead, I use an aluminium wind guard wrapped around the stove to lift it off the flame. It works well but I'd suggest you take precautions as a wind guard is not designed for this purpose and I'd not like to think of someone scolding themselves through my ill-considered advice.I have two types of fuel which I use. Methylated spirit (which I water-down a little) for food cooking and Coleman's stove fuel for a large flame that boils water in a fraction of the time.Prior to packing up,

A must for winter camping. When it gets to real brass monkey weather, the gas stoves begin failing unless you've pre-warmed the gas cylinder. Hexamine stoves taint the flavour, paraffin stoves are the best of course, but a bit of a faff. If you are only going away for the weekend a couple of times a year, then the Trangia may be all you need.Yes, they are slow, but you're not in a hurry are you?. They work in very low temperatures that defeat some of the gas stoves. For the cost of 1 medium gas cylinder, you can buy enough fuel for a year + you aren't tossing away the expensive container.They're silent. This has to be appreciated in the middle of nowhere on a crisp morning or your last brew of the night.Fuel is easily available and cheap.So why not kick back,

Fantastic minimal cooking set. I like the lightweight pot-stand, and the fact that the frypan/lid does click in the main pot making a solid box that is convenient to carry.The frypan is great for cooking eggs (during my cycling trips I always pass in front of farms that would sell fresh eggs) and other stuff, the non-stick coating means that very little water and time is needed for cleaning. That is convenient when resources and time are limited.There is a thick plastic protector in the frypan, which helps to prevent scratching the non-stick coating. For the main pot, just keep a kitchen cloth inside to prevent rattling&scratches, unless there's someone so wise to travel without a kitchen cloth?Mind you,

I bought this stove for solo overnight hikes and have been really impressed by how easy and effective it is. As a kit it is light weight and everything packs into the pot and is held in place by the pan which serves as a lid. There is not much space left over for other items but I have been storing a box of waterproof matches in there as well. You can buy a cover for the kit separately but it would be nice if one was included with the kit since you are probably not going to want to drop into your pack just the way it comes out of the box (although you could).Functionality wise it couldn't be much easier to use the stove. I use Heet for fuel (cheap and easy to get)

What I like:All components are very well built and the whole unit is compact.Very reliable and easy to prime, but I can't say about cold weather starts just yet. I will try to update this review when winter gets here.You can leave the fuel inside the stove, and I pack a small book of matches inside the bowl so I have the whole package ready to go.The flame last quite a while, enough for me to brown (slightly sear) a sliced can of spam.The simmer lid works well and allows me to make rice without too much burned rice on the bottom.Modifications I made:I used a knife sharpening stone to round out the edges of clamping end of the "handle/tongs" so they won't scrape against the soft bowl and non-stick finish.First,

I bought this after seeing it in use at download festival last year (your not supposed to take gas canisters into the grounds, though many do obviously), I'd never seen these spirit burning stoves before and thought it looked really good so here i am.I have used it on several hiking trips and it works great, no problems with wind it boils water fast, and just does what you need it to do every time, it is also very compact the burner goes in the tin and the pan goes on top as a lid, there would also be enough room left in the tin to shove a pair of socks if your really tight for space in your pack.All that being said though i will no longer be using the stove,

When this stove arrived I couldn't believe how small and light the box was, surely this couldn't be a stove and cookset? But all the bits were in there, and after a quick fill with meths I did a few test runs in the kitchen to see how it went, making instant noodles and cups of tea with ease, and even cooking a few potatoes is no trouble if they're cut up small.I used it in earnest on a recent camping trip, where it did great service, producing hot meals and hot drinks with no trouble at all. If it's windy then you either need to run it in a sheltered area or improvise some shield with a bit of foil. Also it does take a while compared with more powerful gas stoves, but it's much smaller and lighter than those,

Received this in the mail after a short wait. Today is a stormy day here in Sweden, +10C and sun. Added fuel until it was 3/4 full set it up behind a 12" windscreen, forget using this without with efficiency since there is no built in windscreen on this model. It took 8mins to get a almost full pot to boil. It was full with only one inch to the rim. After it got to boiling, I put on the simmer ring, and let it boil as if I was making 10min rice. When done, I had enough fuel left for some frying of something imaginary sausage.The small size of this kit makes it most suitable for dense foods that boil quickly. I will prolly use it for bangers and mash, or rice.

First off, I was torn between this and the simpler 'trangia triangle'. What tipped it was that the triangle is £18, and this is £21.. for £3 you get a much better base for the burner, a 0.8ltr pot, pot handle and a non-stick frying pan oh and the burner its self.This thing is tiny, it fits comfortably in one hand and weighs nothing. I thoroughly recommend a windshield, make sure it's not too tall (as this isn't exactly a huge stove) the vango orange shield works well.My only gripe is that in the 27 (which I also use frequently) I can store quite a bit inside it, such as fuel, matches and a multi disk. Don't expect to manage much more than matches with this one.

I always wait a month or two before reviewing a anything as items that look good on arrival sometimes let you down after a few weeks use or wear, whereas stuff l was not impressed with later prove to be valuable bits of kit.I have taken this out on several backpacking trips and am very pleased. Great for heating tins or vacuum packedmeals, frying eggs, bacon or bangers and making a brew. Being a spirit stove, IMHO more reliable than gas burners, and like most Swedish made gear, rugged and built to last. Be minded though that boiling time is slower, but I can live with that. Capacity wise it's only suitable for the solo camper or hiker unless you are both on low calorie diets.Only one caveat,

The Mini-Trangia is awesome, cute and hot! I was looking for a cookset for quite a while and as many of my friends praised the Trangia brand I thought I'd give it a go. My brother bought me this Trangia cookset 2 years ago now and it has followed me in many crazy adventures, wild camping, festivals, road trips... and never let me down. I love it and recommend! The Mini-Trangia serves its purpose well, it's light, and small and handy and almost flawless! Yeah, you should keep in mind this is a MINI cookset so don't expect you'll be cooking for your family and pals with this. There is just enough space in that pot for your own noodles or the little frying pan can fit an egg.

The trangia is of the same great quality as all others from the range - much better than that of any cheaper alternatives. Saying that, the handle / tongs are not as good as I would have expected from my knowledge of those from the larger trangia sets, although I put this down to the size, as they have to fit into a smaller space. This definitely is a one-person sized trangia as it is smaller than I thought when it arrived. This was fine for me, as I am traveling with just one other person, and the trangia burner and stand accommodated other, much larger pots and pans. The set also comes with a little, guide of how long each filling of fuel burns for, and how quickly water will boil,

Very nice bit of kit. Very light and compact. All you need is a good supply of methelated spirits/denatured alcohol which I can only get from screwfix. There are other fuels such as bio ethanol but they were not immediately accessible to me. This is the smaller burner so has a lesser burn time per filling. Burn time was 30 - 40 mins depending on use of simmer ring, wind, surrounding temperature. There is a large army trangia which burns alot longer.The tongs are very sturdy and reliable with good grip.Lid is good as a small frying pan or plateand seals well onto the pot.The pot and windshield are aluminium but are sturdy.Overall this is good for super light backpacking or small day trips .

Very compact set, and easy to set up and use. Like the economy and green credentials of burning meths also, not to mention the fact that it is so easy to get hold of. Bought this for hiking and biking trips, and think it will last for years. Only thing i've found not to like is the fact then if you thin the fuel to a 90/10 meths/water mix as recommended, then it seems a lot harder to light in lower temperatures, although it definitely burns more cleanly. I have fashioned a better windshield from empty beer cans cut open and wired together, and it will boil water about 5 minutes quicker in strong winds. Another word of caution; ordered the 500 ml fuel bottle to go with it from Amazon back in late March,
