Advantages: gas seems fine Disadvantages: telephone nightmare
British Gas
I felt I had to write this review after having to deal with this company for the first time and being pretty disappointed. Having moved into a new flat and coming from a flat where all the bills were included in the rent meaning never having to deal with all these companies and now having to set up all the new accounts for things such as electricity, gas and water I found this company particularly tiresome to deal with.
We were meant to phone up on the day we moved in to the new flat and pass over all the readings on the meters and the correct information to set up new accounts and the such like. I had no problems at all when contacting the water supplier and the electricity supplier but when it came to the gas this was more of a problem that I could of dreamed.

Some products deliver a task well. Others deliver the same task exceptionally on all fronts, this is the case with a Trangia.
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.

The packing system of pans, burner, windshield, kettle ...
Advantages: Lightweight, easy to use, fuel and time efficent Disadvantages: hard to clean
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 it from my own personal experience - there will be bacon everywhere!
Right through to the frying pan everything will cook quickly and easily - My personal favourite being bacon on my 25 series. You'll be able to cook 10 - 15 rashers of bacon only using one burner full of meths which is handy when you're cooking for four.
The Trangia stove comes in a range of sizes and materials: If you ...

This converter is for outdoor cooks who appreciate the Trangia system but prefer gas to methylated spirit. The gas burner fits in the lower windshield in place of the spirit burner and allows you to connect a standard Primus gas bottle.
