What is it about alcohol camping stoves? I just love 'em. They are a great choice for a budget camp stove. A great choice for an ultralight stove if that's your backpacking style. They are compact and the fuel is readily available, They work in pretty much all conditions....go on....you know you want one.

Massive respect to you friend. Outdoors can be a great place to empty your head. Walking along and letting your thoughts meander is a fantastic way of getting perspective on things. Sitting waiting for your water to boil with an alcohol stove can mean passers by are always happy to join you for a brew, (if you want them to of course!) I hope things improve for you and you have many more good days out. Cheers!

That is what I understand. But, my stove runs on low for two or three minutes then off. Not a lot of noise. Propane has almost no smell (certainly not like white gasoline! 😁). I keep looking at them, will likely make one someday, and play with it on solo trips eventually. Fuel is WAY expensive in comparison (I refuel my canisters from my 9 kG bbq tank).

To add to my last comment.... an easy simmer ring modification is to put a small magnet on the steel revolving lid of the simmer ring (top surface). This part is steel, so a magnet will stick to it. Now....instead of burning your fingers trying to take it off you now just use a metal item to attract the magnet and allow you to remove the ring without burning your fingers... Hope this helps and allows you to retain your fingerprints!

@danielbailey818 Жыл бұрын

@@PhilHaddon Hello Phil, Thank you for your comment. Of course I agree... Heat does degrade magnets. I am expecting mine to fail as I have now been using it for two years. At a cost of 10 pence for a small silver (in colour) button magnet in my opinon is brillant payback to allow me to retain my fingerprints. There are many alternatives, leather glove, retrieving magnet (magnet on an telescopic ariel)... Everyone to their own and what suits them.. One thing to note is that the magnet is never in direct heat. Placing it on the side of the swiveling simmer lid puts it out of the direct flame as soon as the simmer lid is opened. I havent met many people who use the simmer ring half closed, in my experience the simmer lid is used as a snuffer to extinguish the flame and prevent the O ring being damaged in the transport lid. Or used wide open to just close out just the vapour jets. Closing it more is pointless and you would better off using a candle if using the standard Trangia setup. I prefer to stir the food and take on and off the heat. The Trangia does have a habit of burning in the centre of the pan if left. In fact the only substance I haven't burnt in the centre of the pan is water! I posted this to provide the user of a Trangia an option to try out for themselves. I am not forcing anyone to do it.. Its not a must.... This is purely from my experience over the last two years and for 10p I will let people experience it for themselves. Two years in use should say something. Again, thank you for your post. I will continue to use my magnet ;-) R Dan

The great thing about the Trangia is that the burner is made more efficient and delivers optimum “bloom” when it’s used with the base and windshield provided with the 25 and 27 series sets. Their designs ensure the heat is used efficiently, greatly improving boil times but admittedly bulky and comparatively heavy. As a Scout leader, I’ve taught countless kids to cook and brew up outdoors using Trangia sets and they are impossible to wreck even for hyperactive adolescents. Lang may their lums reek! 😉

Love alcohol stoves. I made my own from an old shoe-polish container, which has the added benefit of having a lid. Borrowed some loft insulation and bought a coffee filter gauze. Stuff the insulation in, cut the gauze so you can stuff it down the sides of the insulation inside the tin and it's spill-proof. The bottoms of these thinner cans can get a bit warm though, so watch out for that.

First time I tried those soba pot noodle things, I didn't read the instructions properly and didn't get rid of the liquid before adding the sludge, just mixed it in.

Stays warm longer too, when you ditch the liquid, the noodles cool off quite quick.

I share your love of alcohol stoves and the Trangia in particular. In fact in a recent gear purge the only stove I’ve kept is my 27 series set. Yes it’s bulky compared to some setups but once you’ve added a pot support, pot, windshield etc it soon adds up. It’s rugged, stable, windproof and gives me a childlike joy when I use it. One thing I’ve bought is the winter attachment, which clips onto the bottom of the burner and allows you to preheat the burner in freezing conditions. Blooms super quick even when the burner and alcohol are cold. Great video as always Paul.

I remember that Trangia used to state that you shouldn't put your pot, with contents, on the stove straight away, as the heat can be dissipated and not provide enough energy for the stove to bloom before cooking. I also like the fact that Trangia's have an internal wick, unlike other spirit burners, which draws the fuel up towards the jets.

I started off doing this, but quickly realized the alcohol stove was no longer a valuable part of this setup. Ironically, the nano is the thing that made me ditch the trangia. Never looked back. I just carry 4 or 5 solid fuel tabs with me for emergency and use the nano's solid fuel plate. But I rarely need that because the stick stove works so well! I'm done carrying bulky (potentially leaky) alcohol around (unless it's the stuff for drinkin). When I'm car camping, I do use the nano with the tangia gas burner. I just don't see alcohol as a great option for any of these situations anymore.
