The Trangia Spirit Burner is a highly efficient alcohol stove. Used with meths or bioethanol fuel it can boil water fast and is lightweight and compact, great for camping and hiking! With the additional screw cap and simmer lid it is a versatile little burner. Here are some of the statistics:
Weight - 109grams
Base width: 7cm
I use it with a Crusader MK2 Cook Set.

I went to the camping, I proved Trangia alcohol stove only I can say its a good product here in México in some places its not a good idea to make a firecamping for this reason trangia is so useful because you have fired and dont atracct the people attention.

Just fired mine up after pulling it out of storage for three years, still full of old fuel. Still works great. I've always loved this thing. Great piece of kit for a minimalist like myself. Here in the US we fill them with yellow "heet" fuel water remover (methyl alcohol) available at most stores for about $2. I'm so confident in this thing I don't pack it in a bag or anything, no leaks ever

TA Outdoors! The "small holes" are NOT for ventilation ! The small holes are the stove itself. If you had enough patience you would see the vapours of alcohol getting out from those small holes in flames. And the central big flame getting down and dissapearing. An alcohol stove doesn't work with alcohol but with alcohol vapours. You showed in this clip just the initial phase when the alcohol is pre-heated to start to form vapours. Thank you !

Being a total newb to alcohol stoves I was confused but I am yet to see a video that actually shows the trangia burning via those holes. on a side note, I like your name, any reason for 111 at the end, christianity seems to be calling, which is weird, quakerism specifically. I just discovered a comedian who was an evangelist too and his show is christian themed and the perspective is really interesting. I will always believe in jesus, even though I rejected christianity my whole life because of the history of catholicism in the world and in my family for the last three generations and how there is nothing christian about horrible actions in the name of god/jesus/love. I always believed and sense a higher power and I am guided by faith in forces beyond us but never allied that with christianity and that show I was talking about, called Crashing, Pete gives his perspective in this interview i read last night before bed about how and why most comedians are atheists and goes onto to explain about most people he encounters believe in some force but just dont like the christian vocabulary. I could say alot more but I am just random person and you just replied to a question about a stove and I made this huuuuuuge reply about Christianity. It's just funny how when you feel a change approaching in your life, if your open, you can see the signs. Like ace of base, i saw the sign, i opened up my mind and saw the sign la la la la la, its a song. Anyway. Peace.

Thanks. I have today ordered one of these types of burners with a couple of liters of isotropic alcohol. I believe methylated spirits can be used too. I was wondering if any other type of flammable liquid can be used. I have acetone for electronics for circuit board cleaning circuit boards. I suppose this can be used in an absolute emergency, as it's not like gasoline. It may smoke more but in an open space could provide a means to cook or heat water, but I'm, not experienced such as yourself yet.

@danovichi 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, just dump it all out and pour the right stuff in, it'll be perfectly safe. Most alcohol above about 90 proof will burn, but you'll be best off using either HEET in the blue bottle (NOT the red, it will burn orange and sooty), or get some denatured alcohol from the hardware store...can get a quart of it for about 7 bucks, works great. Both have a very high methyl alcohol content, which burns a nice blue flame, which is what you want. Have burned Everclear in mine, and it works very well, but its expensive. Just avoid pretty much all "rubbing" alcohols and you'll be fine.

@bentstrider 4 жыл бұрын

Figured the rubbing alcohol was junk. I was having a "boil off" between one of these stoves and a Max Burton butane one I also have. The Burton got a pot to boil in 5 min.

TA Outdoors The best fuel, both in terms of efficiency and heat, is 190 proof grain alcohol. It has the added benefits of being safe around children, and of being a medicinal. It's a bit pricy. I pay thirteen dollar for a fifth at the local liquor store, , but that fifth lasts a long time. . .unless I need to use it medicinally, of course. A shot in your morning coffee is a medicinal use, isn't it? The simmer ring is my only problem with the Trangia. It's difficult to adjust once it gets hot. I have a different stone, a Self-Reliance Outfitters stove that's a good deal larger, and that has a simmer ring with a fold out handle. A much, much better system. Because of the larger size and better designed simmer ring, I carry it on any extended trip. The Trangia is a great stove, and I EDC it because the stove, and a bottle of fuel, fits into s small belt pouch, but don't use it for long camping trips.

@MegaBanne 5 жыл бұрын

Nah. This is a 100 year old design and I have never heard of anything like that happening. I could perhaps be possible if the holes didn't exist or if they where blocked. But still very little oxygen inside the pockets on the sides. For a tank of fuel to explode you have to have far more oxygen than fuel inside of it. The container has also a huge hole in the middle that stops the build up of pressure. So no.

@lindasue8719 4 жыл бұрын

Not explode , But I would be more afraid of it tipping … Since the fuel is "lose" (not in a cannister like propane or butane), if it were to tip and spill while it was lit, the flame would spread where the fuel is. I wonder if there's a workaround for that?

Of course depending on where you're operating it, it might not be an issue, but I was thinking whether the whole operation (including a pot could be set inside a fireproof/retardant container. Obviously that becomes less practical if one is travelling light, but I was thinking if in a "weekend" campsite, etc.

@matthijsbaving4056 4 жыл бұрын

There are sturdier potholder designs than is shown in the video making it unlikely you spill any alcohol but I'm not aware of any fireproof containers for your cooking set.
