Brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed the video! The flaming stump not only was a stellar example of how fire can spread but also a KZfaq first (that i have seen). Bravo sir.

Very nicely done. Loved the safety example of the spilled alcohol. I think with alcohol the wind screen may be just as important as any other component. Thanks for a well done video.

The Trangia gear is so well made, it's bomb proof. Great video mate.

Love seeing a bit of use and grunge on the kit when you're showing it off. Means you're using it.

That tent looks exactly like my 40 year old Vango hurricane alpha that's still going strong 🎉. Nice video btw.

Great video,nicely explained and thought out. Good comparison. Confirmed some of my own thoughts. Will subscribe 👏

Thank you for the video really enjoyed how you showed us if it’s spelled what it would do door tent. I was gonna buy some of these for the homeless, but now safety issues.

Very valid point on the safety (or lack of) with alcohol. I’ve just bought a Trangia 27, hoping to test it out on a day walk in the woods this weekend but when we’re in our little tent, think I’ll stick to the jet boil 😮

Thanks for another great review. Fyi you can use fuel adaptors to Refill your empty isobutane canisters with cheap butane etc...

I modified my Trangia by putting steel wool on the bottom topped off with carbon felt and a wire mesh to hold it all in place. This prevents spilling and much easier to light in severe cold weather.

Hey thanks for the vid. Im ordering the stand, Dual use to cook with wood also! That will come in handy.

Good video, thanks.

Ow ya bastid! That made me laugh, thanks for keeping it in ... 😄 Well done for example of how bad a tip over of the burner can be. Imagine if that happened just before bedtime, in bad weather in the middle of nowhere and you burned your tent down! 😥

Not sure if already mentioned in comments, but buy a value to transfer part used gas to another bottle. Place receiving cannister in freezer for 10 mins and weigh cannister for max fill.

That is a nice looking alcohol stove. Good comparison. Nice review. New follower here. Crow✌️

Your sitting in the woods chilling,does it matter if alcohol takes a few minutes extra to boil water .I’ve never understood why people are so obsessed with the time it takes to boil water unless you have an appointment of course ?.

The Trangia burner is better for actually cooking with because of the summer ring 👍

If you use the full snuffer on the evernew stove just the bottom jets will be going. That's simmer mode for that stove. You can also use a soda, or soda can for that use. :)

Excellent video and comparison of 2 similar systems , I have long thought Evernew should have upgraded their Ti burner by mimicking the Trangia threaded cap and simmer ring 2 features sadly lacking , its a no-brainer and would I believe make their offering best in class , we can still hope .

I use the spirit burner in the Trangia 27 all summer long. The vango gel just does not work well in the Trangia burner although safer.

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this informative video. You did a great job. Stay safe out there. 🤗 👋

time the boil if you switch the vessels (trangia's kettle on evernew burner, evernew's mug on trangia burner). bc the wider base of kettle (plus AL) might be what you're actually measuring

I can never understand the concerns with a fast boiling time when using a alcohol stove. They are not like the bottled gas or liquid gas stoves. I use the alcohol stoves for the quiet , mess free and relaxing heating they offer. I take my sweet time to enjoy everything while out there. The Evernew has more jets then the Trangia and burns faster plus using more alcohol. I like the Evernew Appalachian kit they offer it's been my go to for the last 30 years. Before then it was the Trangia and kits they offer. If you like the Trangia there is a modified Trangia style made by Goshawk Outdoors in Australia. It's the Siphon Alcohol Stove Steampunk EDDY-X. It comes to a full bloom in 12 seconds. Offers all of the advantages with a faster blooming time. It's all brass included pot stand. It can be used in any item a Trangia can be used in.

I use the Trail Designs Sidewinder with Kojin stove for the 600ml Evernew short pot. The Kojin stove uses a batting material and the alcohol will not spill out if knocked over. Because of this it is no more dangerous than a canister stove. Denatured alcohol hasn’t been sold in California for two years so I use Heet fuel treatment for cars in the yellow bottle which is mostly methanol. This setup doesn’t simmer but I only use it for day hikes for coffee on the trail. It is very wind resistant which is unusual for an alcohol setup.Trail Designs is based in California near Yosemite park.

The Evernew DX instructions say “when the temperature is low and stove does not give off enough heat, set Power Plate inside of upper stand”. I mistakenly used it in hot weather and it turned the burner into a bit of a flamethrower, using up the fuel in no time 😮 I think the reflected heat evaporates the fuel at a much higher rate.

You an use an old tin that once contained beans or something for a stand. Meth or white spirit can also be used. Available almost anywhere even at a chemists.

Ow ya bastard 🤭 ( Quality ) Ben I love the concept of the evernew stand ( doubling ) up as a twiggy stove 👌 does the trangia fit the evernew stand ie with it being able to be controlled & snuffed out 🤔 both quality products , oh and as for Original triangle stands priceless , the new ones are not so priceless , brilliant channel ben & tris 🙌👍

you can get an adaptor from amazon to fill those screw type gas canisters as trher getting harder to find them for sale now youll need a set of scales and a 3.5kg butain bottle to fill them or you just tip them

I like trangias and bio ethanol is definitely the way to go if using that type of fuel. My only issue with thrangias, I wish the flame adjuster was a bit looser cause depending on its position in whatver device you're using, it's sometimes difficult to adjust to a lower flame, leaving food, a fried egg for example to get absolutely obliterated. But I do like that twig burning option of that other burner so can choose between the two options (but also if you run out of fuel at least you can burn twigs) but I do like cooking with trangia and it's a cheap option too. Cheers Ben, hope you and Tris are doing well. Martin.

For a full snuff out for the evernew stove would be a great stainless steel container the size of the ever to fully knock out the flames.

The Scouts BSA do not recommend use of alcohol stoves (of any kind) due to the flame being invisible so hard to know when lit, and also the spill danger. BTW if you knock over a lit gas stove in your tent, it will likely catch your tent on fire too, before you can stop it.

There are adapters that allow us to transfer butane/isobutane/propane gas from one canister to another. As for cooking inside or around tents, thats a big NO where I am (Australia) not only for the safety concern, but also because critters do come and dig into our tents or packs to look for food. We try to cook and eat AWAY from the tents.

I also have both the trangia and Evernew set ups. I find the evernew to be aggressive and it burns very hot.

I love the trangia burner. Your video is very good.y only comment is on the price of the fuel that you are using. How many pounds of corn were used to make that batch of fuel? Fuel in your neck of the woods is way more expensive than in Texas but methyl fuel is much more ecologically friendly than corn/plant fuel.

👍 .. good review .. thanks for sharing. Cost. Yes, titanium will always cost more than aluminium .. and 'lightweight AND robust' will have a price premium .. the eternal triangle, 'Weight / Durability / Cost'. If you want it all, be prepared to pay for it 😏. Evernew. I have an Evernew Aluminium Camping Bowl Set bought back in the 70's and which I have incorporated into my Trangia 28 Mini Set, that increases it's versatility multi-fold. The Evernew Quality is very good .. which I presume has not changed. Japanese will always cost more than products manufactured just West across from them on the Mainland. Safety. Agreed. Spilled burning alcohol fuel can be somewhat disruptive. Based on a You Tube Post, I have modified the majority of my Alcohol Burners, Trangia included, by adding Ceramic Wool and/or Carbon Felt to the Fuel Receptacles. So far, the results have been very encouraging. Burn performance does not appear to be affected to the extent that I feel the need to 'fall on my sword' waiting for the boil. Actually, the slightly (perceived) gentler burn, especially when using the simmer ring, suits my style of cooking (I don't just boil water). AND .. the risks of extended spillage is reduced appreciably. Here in Switzerland, the Authorities have absolutely no sense of humour with those who set fire to their forests and recreation areas .. eye-watering fines being the order of the day. Perhaps take a gander at converting fuel reservoirs from 'slosh' to 'soak'. Cheap and easy to convert back and well worth a try.

B&Q are doing 2L of ethanol for £8 if you want it cheep.

Stove made from a Hobgoblin can ( idea pinched from Nobby on Step away from the screens), cost zero. No need for a stand. Windshield made from an offcut from said can. Boil time 2 minutes 30 seconds on 30 ml of Lagavulin 15 yr old (no meths available).. Weight, about, 40g plus titanium mug pot from Wildcamping International ( say 100g). Can't remember my point, but the other 720ml of Lagavulin was very nice.

Do you reckon a gel block is safer?

Never seen anyone tip the burner over like that and certainly not tried it myself, pretty scary what 30mls of uncontrolled flaming alcohol is like. I have the Evernew kit and used it when working outside but the flame is quite visible and can cause concern to some people. I mainly use gas now, I prefer the control and when required the speed. If one purchases a stove that will burn with an inverted gas canister all the small amounts that no one wants to take on a trip can be used up, I’m using all my partially used canisters up to boil water at home to save energy. I use a SOTO Stormbreaker for using inverted gas canisters and it will also run on white gas (Coleman/Primus) liquid fuel which useful for very cold conditions.

What one cooks meats better Trangia is better for thumbs…Have fun be safe.

Put some graphite felt (like from the x-boil) in the trangia. Seems to me that it would make the ideal combo.

Good job Ben great test and analysis of 2 stoves. I would be wary of using anything made of aluminium with it's connection to Alzheimers. I would always opt for titanium which is both light and very durable and the cost will be covered by many years of efficient service. ATB mate. Good to see Martin, the Lonesome Drifter, back with us and contributing again.

Thanks for this comparison; just a couple of thoughts:- 1) given the same-ish boil times but the greater surface area of the Trangia kettle vs the Evernew pot mug, might the Evernew burner not be more powerful? Maybe try (a back to back study) to determine boil time of the Trangia kettle with Evernew burner and the boil time of the Evernew pot mug using the Trangia burner? And:- 2) might it be better to weigh the burners when dry, and then deduct that weight from the ‘afterburn’ state weights, to determine the amount of spirit remaining? Just thinking that whether there is a little wick cloth between the inner and outer casing of either burner (or not!), the efficiency might be better understood by determining the post boil weight of each ‘wet’ burner. I think I need to get out more! 😂 Awaiting the arrival of my own Evernew burner, and will be testing and evaluating for sure; bought it because I’ve already got the DX stand, and fancied the much lighter weight, assuming burn efficiency is broadly similar to that of the great, if heavier Trangia burners already owned (2). I baulked at the cost of the Ev 500 pot mug though, four times the cost of a 550 Ti mug by other vendors. I’m sure it’s great, that said, and the indented base makes perfect sense. Thanks!
