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.

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 aspect of them all is their ease of use and 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 my Trangia alongside more conventional gas stoves in these conditions.

I would conclude by recommending this to anyone wanting a compact stove to pack and use on the move, a Trangia gives the user a sense of the out doors lifestyle more than any other stove.

However, if you are interested in a larger, more 'conventional' cooking stove and size is not of a premium I would suggest a single or double ring gas burning stove.
