Trangia Mini

Product Information

Some people say this kit gets much better with a compact gas burner such as the Primus Micron (supposed to fit in the kit, replacing the burner and windshield). I don't like gas for simplicity reasons so I never tried this. In the cautionary side of things, like all alcohol stoves, you must use caution with the Trangia burner as the stove makes no noise if properly protected from the wind and the flame is nearly impossible to see in daylight. Often, only its heat lets you know it's lit. Be careful snuffing the stove with the simmer ring as you can easily burn your hand.

Trangia is a Swedish company who have constantly re-developed, updated and improved their Trangia stove design, using their prolific experience to become the natural choice for outdoor people.

Bottom line is if you're solo or in a group it's a nice set to have and it will last you a long time. 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.

About the lid/frypan: it snaps on for storage and transport. To use it when cooking, invert the lid on the pot. When inverted, it has a rebated rim that keeps it from sliding off in the same way the pot rests on the pot stand. Plus you can use the pot grab to remove it. Boil times, add about two minutes to what you think the boil times should be if you are used to using a canister stove. It doesn't cook as hot as a canister stove, but for cooking that is sometimes a good thing. The versatility of the Trangia Cookset:One of the unique features of the Trangia stove is its versatile cookset, which includes a pot, pan, and windscreen. This allows for various cooking techniques, from boiling water for pasta or coffee to frying up a campfire omelette or sautéing veggies in the pan. The windscreen also helps to shield the flame from wind, ensuring efficient and safe cooking even in challenging weather conditions. So alcohol it is, cheap & easy to find and works good. You can use most any alcohol but I found that HEET works the best (Methyl Alcohol gas line antifreeze in the YELLOW bottle not the red) or Denatured Alcohol but with this it depends on the brad because of additives. I hope you enjoyed this post on recipe ideas for trangia stove and that you get out into the wild and give them a try.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. All in all I really like this stove. It's built to last, with nothing really to break, and it just works, which is the most important thing when deep in the mountains.

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. 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.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!). I used this stove on several week long hikes this summer in the eastern Sierras and found no real issues with this product. I have yet to use it in freezing weather conditions, so maybe I will update you on this in the winter months. Its gas burner option and the included pot, pan, and windscreen provide an efficient cooking system for outdoor adventures.
