Trangia stoves

...wrong). The Company Trangia is a Swedish company and was founded in 1925 by John E. Jonsson together with his father in-law. So they have over 80 years experience in manufacturing their stoves. In that time very little has changed in the way the Trangia stoves have been made. Probably the biggest change would be the non stick coating that is now available. What is the model that I use? I prefer the Trangia 25, it is the larger of the two standard ...
...is the heart of the Trangia it is probably worth explaining exactly what it looks like. Imagine a small brass tin with a screw top lid, on the outer side at the top are a series of small holes that go all the way round (this is where the gas type flame will come from once it is burning properly) This is all held neatly together in one package with a strap. The overall weight of this is only 1.1 kg. Why do I use it? When I have gone summer camping, ...

Review of Trangia stoves

The Trangia is a well established portable cooking device brand - Don't accept any Rip-offs.! The Trangia is an all-round good buy - every minute detail maximises the efficiency of the cooking: Beginning with the heart; the methylated spirit burner. The brass "cup" will hold approximately 150 ml of meths allowing you to cook for a good half hour without having to refill - Don't try and refill it when you've already lit it whatever you do! - Take ...
...cooking for four. The Trangia stove comes in a range of sizes and materials: If you want a small compact stove for just one person then the Mini-Trangia is the one for you. You can pick them for less than £20 and they are as durable and as efficient as the rest of the Trangia range. They include everything basic that's needed for 1 person to cook for themselves. However if you're looking for a cooker for 2 then the "27 series" stove is the one you ...

Review of Trangia stoves

...I have owned my Trangia since 1983 (!) and except for replacing a lost pan handle and a lost saucepan it is still performing to the same standards. Trangia now come in many formats - large and small, standard pans, teflon coated none stick frying pans, dual layered pans for increased thermal conductivity and are now available to be used with gas rater than the traditional methylated spirits. I have used several different version but the most important ...
...transportability. The Trangia is stable and gives out excellent heat for a long time (up to an 3/4hour, dependant on setting, on one fill of meths). The packing system of pans, burner, windshield, kettle and frying pan means it is extremely compact (I often leave it in the boot of the car for roadside tea brewing). This is a necessity when carrying all your kit on an exhibition. This is not so if you are camping from the boot of your car and I use ...

Review of Trangia stoves

I have had my Trangia since 1989 after several years of experience using them and it is as good as the day I bought it. They are robust, and will last a lifetime. Unlike most liquid or gas stoves, the burner has no moving parts. Just fill with Methelated Spirits, (some water, to reduce sooting) and light with a match. The heat of the flame causes the fuel vapour to rise up the side channels of the burner and out through the small holes at the top. ...
...one inverted with air holes holds the burner, the second - the windshield holds the pan / frying pan. Once the burner is cool, you can seal it up with a cap. The O-rings are still good, and it has never leaked on me. On top of the lid you can store the flame control. This is a guard that sits over the burner and restricts the flame. There is a sliding disk, which can progressively shut down or extinguish the flame. Also in the kit you will get two ...

Review of Trangia stoves

Whilst on a short trip to Ben Nevis 2 years ago, I brought one and haven't looked back since! it was the best snow conditions for 25 years, and not once did it not light, or blow out or let me down in any way! They do come in various sizes and options, but i just had the one designed for 1 person and it was all i ever needed! you really can take it out the box and use it straight away! no instructons needed, just a little practise to put it all ...
...cooked lamb cutlets with boiled potatoes, green beans and gravy all on this little pan, the odd steak too! not to mention the wonderful Scottish breakfast, with all the trimmings! The only thing they could improve on would be to design a suitable one for toasting bread! Otherwise, a culinary delight! I made every one I saw jealous as they were all struggling with big petrol burners, whereas mine all fitted in its little orange bag! In all, a triumphant ...

Review of Trangia stoves

I've used a trangia on many weekends away in previous years, however i found that they are not really the best way of cooking a meal in the wilderness. Trangias do come in various sizes, which is a good point, but all models come with the standard pan holder come wind shield, 2 one litre saucepans, which easily fit inside each other, a frying pan, which also doubles as a lid and finally a handle for taking hot pans of the stoves. I must not forget ...
...conclusion i think that the trangia pans are useful for larger groups as the pans can easily hold a litre and the frying pan is approximately 18cm in diameter, great for cooking large amounts of food. On the other hand although trangia do have a 'mini' range, for the lone hiker it is rather cumbersome. ...

Review of Trangia stoves

I've had my Trangia for around 6 years now. The only damage to it is some dents in the frypan/lid, which were my fault because I had it strapped on to the outside of my pack, which I then dropped from shoulder height onto some rocks. The dents have rendered the lid unusable as a frypan, but I've not found that a problem. Mine is the largest size, because my husband and I travel together. I like the fact that it has 2 bowls, which means we effectively ...
...eat straight from the pans. They are a good size for cooking enough food for 2 hungry hikers. The way they pack into one another also leaves space for the incidentals you need to carry - scourer, matches etc so everything is in the one place. It's true the flame is hard to control once you've lit it. if you've used it for awhile you learn where to set the cover for the right size flame. Most of the time I need it on high or close to high in any ...

Review of Trangia stoves

...on the market today. Trangia has made storm-proof stoves for over 75 years now. Their storm-proof stoves are considered to be among the best. I have two diffrent storm-proof stoves from Trangia. The "25" and the mini trangia. These are the two most common. The 25: The 25 is perfect for when you're out with your familiy and you need to make a lot of food fast. It's pretty big and it's very difficult to get it to be quiet while packed. It contains: ...
...If not, take the mini trangia instead. The Mini trangia: I love the mini trangia. It's small, it's quiet while packed, it has a very good burner and it doesn't weigh that much. I always carry it in my combat belt while I'm out in the woods. The cost is very low, only 180 SEK (Swedish Kronor) here in Sweden. It contains: 1 Stove, 1 Pan 0.8 litre, 1 Non-stick lid/frypan, 15 cm, 1 Windshield, 1 Spirit burner and 1 Handle. The total weight is 330 grams. ...
