About this deal

Trangiahave over 80 years of experience in making their stoves and for the last 50 years or more they have been the choice storm-proof stove for outdoor goers. That's because this kit has been tried, tested and trusted for generations; theTrangiaFactory is basically on the on the doorstep of the Scandinavian wilderness so it's pretty safe to say that they know what they are doing. Just pour a little fuel in the aluminum potstand of the 28, place the spirit burner in the potstand as you normally do with the lid off, and light the fuel in the bottom by inserting a lit match through one of the air holes in the side. This will not only pre-warm the spirit burner, but also light it after a while. If you pre-warm, use a windscreen, and leave the lid on the pot, you will get a lot faster boil times than most people would have you believe. Then I found Trangia. A simple, time-tested burner design that is idiot-proof. Well, to clarify that a little, it's idiot-proof for someone cautious and attentive. It doesn't get simpler to actually fire up — just pour in fuel and light — in a few seconds (depending on how cold it is) you will have a nice steady flame ready for your pot. Flame control, it has a simmer ring, but I mostly stir to reduce the chance of burning foods. It's just easier that way.

I started out with just the spirit burner and windscreen / pot stand and I carried it nested in my other cook-set. I was so impressed with the quality and durability that I bought the complete set and it is my first choice for cook sets and stove set up. I have cooked pancakes, stew etc boiled water and eaten out of it an it is just right. The stove is a bit heaver than my Gigapower but when you add up all you canisters windscreen fuel etc they are actually pretty close in weight. Anyway, to the Mini Trangia. The Mini Trangia is heavier and less efficient than many alcohol stoves. I feel though, that it's positive qualities make up for these negatives. The stand is an odd size. While it fits in the pot during storage and has a good circumference to support the Mini 28's pot, its circumference is a bit large for those who prefer to heat water in their cup. As a reference point, the Trangia Mini 28 stand is just a bit too large in circumference to support a GSI water bottle cup/pot. Its gas burner option and the included pot, pan, and windscreen provide an efficient cooking system for outdoor adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or new to camp cooking, the Trangia stove is a reliable and convenient option to elevate your camping meals to heights. My Trangia Gas Attachment Recipe Ideas for Trangia Stove Cooking:I've used mine for day hiking meals, as well as our primary cook stove during a couple of winter storms where we lost power as well as getting us through a week without power during Storm Alfred in 2011. I've also dragged it along to our Relay for Life weekend to keep the coffee flowing for our team, everyone on the overnight especially appreciated the hot coffee and popcorn (lol this stove and Jiffy Pop are a dynamic duo!). Campfire Omelette:Start your day with a hearty breakfast omelette cooked on the Trangia pan. Beat eggs with diced veggies, cheese, and cooked bacon or sausage. Pour the mixture onto the pan and cook until the omelette is set. Flip it over to get a fluffy and delicious campfire omelette. I use it mostly for boiling water for dehydrated foods and beverages, but have used it to fry eggs and spam too. It works very well. Boil times vary form 6 to 10 minutes depending on the weather and temperature of the water so its not the fastest way of cooking on the trail, but the extra few moments are worth the peace, relaxation, and ecological benefits using this stove brings. You can simmer with it by using the simmer control ring supplied with the stove. You ignite the stove with a match, a lighter, or a simple spark from a ferrocerium rod. This stove will boil two quarts of water on just over an ounce of fuel. So keeping this in mind an 8-ounce fuel bottle will last you about 6 days making coffee in the morning and a dehydrated meal at night. Once you finish boiling or cooking, just simply drop the simmer plate over the stove and this extinguishes the stove. To use the simmer lid with the stove just slide it to the open position and adjust the flame to the level desired.

With creativity and the convenience of a Trangia stove, you can enjoy delicious meals while camping outdoors. So with my Trangia in "storage mode" I have in it: the stove, snuffer cap/simmer ring, the storage cap, potstand, potlifter, windscreen folded up, a three inch long strip of cardboard to ease lighting (not needed, but nice to have), and the tealight. The stove is not safe, either. Huge foot-long flames shoot out of the burner frequently. In-vestibule tent usage is hence out of the question. Not that you should really use any stove inside a tent but using this one would be very very dangerous. Veggie Stir-Fry:Whip up a delicious and nutritious stir-fry using the Trangia pan. Toss in your favourite veggies like bell peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli, and some garlic and ginger for flavour. Add in a sauce made with soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey, and cook until the veggies are tender and the flavours meld together.In this blog post, we will explore the world of camp cooking using a Trangia stove, explicitly focusing on recipes that can be prepared using the gas burner option of the Trangia cookset. Or are you misunderstanding the point of the stove – I note your emphasis in the steel top but, which is only steel because the heat gets so intense at the top that an alu can weakens and bends (I tried alu first).
