Trangia Mini

Product Information

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. Regarding camp cooking, the Trangia stove offers a range of advantages that make it a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts. Here are some key benefits of using a Trangia stove for camping: Overall I really like this stove and pot stand. I did upgrade my pot to one that's a bit larger than the one that comes with the kit. I wouldn't call the pot stand a windscreen at all though, this stove definitely needs a better windscreen to be at all efficient. Not as hot as canister stoves, In bright light you cant see the flame, Windscreen could be better, A little heavy 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 usually take it on day hikes, or it lives in my car. It's not my first choice stove, for multi-day excursions, or complex cooking tasks. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches:Nothing beats a classic grilled cheese sandwich cooked on the Trangia pan. Spread butter on bread slices, add cheese slices, and cook on the pan until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted. The canister is faster and easier. But the canisters are expensive, you don't know how much gas you have left (unless you time it and do some math), and you wind up with a bunch of partially empty canisters in your gear box. The burner is encased in a necessarily smaller, lighter stand and everything fits neatly inside the pot, including a skinny pot gripper, with the pan lid snapping shut, securely.

Your Account:

Ok I have been out of the game for a while but it hasn't been that long anyway. I use to rough-it and cook over a fire but that has its problems like rain. So in my search for a stove I ruled out all petroleum based and pressurized fuels and that don't leave much. If you count grams and ounces, this may not be the stove for you as penny stoves/Pepsi can stoves certainly weight less, but it's a long stretch to call the Trangia Mini 28 heavy. If you aren't a gram and ounce counter ultralight/minimalist hiker, this stove is great to have along if you ever find yourself in need of an extra burner—that's how I use it—as a compliment to my main stove.

The pot lifter is a bit short so it can be stored/hauled in the pot, but being a bit short it can heat up. Just be aware of that.

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.
