Let's tell you lot wanted a reliable stove. H5N1
really reliable stove. H5N1 stove where there's zero to become wrong. H5N1 stove that's going to operate inward whatsoever conditions, no affair what.
What's that? It's a fob question? No, in that location genuinely is such a stove, the Trangia. The Trangia alcohol stove arrangement is, simply put,
the most reliable backpacking type stove inward the world.

| A Trangia 27 |
Now here's the funny thing most what is maybe the world's most reliable backpacking stove: It's relatively unknown inward the United States. Alcohol stoves receive got long taken a dorsum topographic point inward the American outdoors scene. However, inward the terminal decade or so the ultralight displace has swept over American backpacking, together with alcohol stoves receive got exploded on the scene alongside a vengeance almost every bit though making upward for lost time.
One niggling employment for the Trangia: it's hardly ultralight. So, fifty-fifty though alcohol stoves are all the rage inward the United States of America of America backpacking community correct now, you lot may non run across to a greater extent than of the
complete Trangia system, at to the lowest degree inward the US. I am seeing the first-class Trangia burner used inward a diverseness of configurations including
the first-class Clikstand laid up. Internationally though, the Trangia has an enduring reputation for reliability together with the powerfulness to business office nether
any conditions. The Swedish telephone scream upward it a storm
kök -- tempest cooker. The nurture says it all. Though the Trangia is a fleck bulky together with heavy, especially for an alcohol stove, in that location are many who swear past times it together with volition convey zero less into the dorsum country.
Somewhat odd for an alcohol stove, the Trangia is genuinely able to simmer alongside the exercise of a "simmer ring" (see to a greater extent than below). The Trangia is thence an alcohol stove that 1 tin create existent cooking on together with non only precisely boil water. The Trangia stove arrangement came out inward 1951. Rather than replicate hither what is to a greater extent than than adequate elsewhere, I render you lot alongside the next link on
the history of the Trangia company for those who are interested.
There are 3 basic models of the Trangia:
The Trangia 25, which comes alongside 1.75 L together with 1.5 L nesting pots together with a 22cm diameter kid pan/lid together with is intended for 3 or 4 people.
The Trangia 27, which comes alongside 2 1.0L nesting pots together with an 18cm diameter kid pan/lid together with is intended for 1 or 2 people.
The Trangia 28 (aka the "mini Trangia"), which comes alongside 1 0.8L pot together with a 15cm diameter kid pan/lid together with is intended for solo use.
The Trangia 25 together with 27 are essentially the same stove except that the 25 is larger together with the 27 is smaller. Models 25 together with 27 are consummate inward together with of themselves together with ask no additional components inward club to business office well. The Trangia 28 (the "mini Trangia") needs a windshield (not included) inward club to business office well.
Models 25 together with 27 are available inward "ultralight" aluminum or difficult anodized aluminum. Several configurations of models 25 together with 27 are available. The configurations include such things every bit non-stick coatings together with an optional tea kettle. I won't endeavour to listing all of the possible combinations, instead, I encourage you lot to caput on over to
the Trangia website where all possible combinations are listed. There is exclusively 1 configuration available of model 28. The alcohol burner is the same across all models together with configurations of Trangia stoves. An optional gas burner is available for some configurations of the Trangia every bit is a multi-fuel burner.
Now, then, this week's stove is the Trangia model 27. My model 27 Trangia was built inward the belatedly 1970's or thereafter but prior to 1988 based on the data provided at the higher upward history link. Today's Trangia 27's are nearly identical to mine but create receive got some differences such every bit a lighter weight modern alloy together with openings for exercise alongside a gas burner.
So, let's receive got a await at this famous stove. The Trangia 27 consists of half-dozen master copy components: H5N1 lower windscreen/base, an upper windscreen, 2 pots, a lid, together with a burner. The Trangia also comes alongside a strap to concord everything together together with a pot gripper/pot lifter.
One of the wonderful things most the Trangia is that all of the components nest together inward a squeamish package.

| All of the Trangia 27's components fit neatly together. |

Let's accept a await at what's within the package.

| A Trangia 27 alongside the lid off but notwithstanding all nested together. |
Inside my Trangia 27, I acquit the burner, a lighter, a pot gripper (not original), together with a fuel bottle. There's also room for a spoon, tea bags, or other items.

| A closer await at the contents of my Trangia 27 |
Now let's accept a await at the base of operations (lower windscreen) of the stove. Note how in that location are ventilation holes on 1 side of the lower windscreen but non the other. Note also the air holes that environs the large fundamental hole. These air holes are a key constituent inward the Trangia's pattern together with what allow it to business office inward heavy winds.

| The base of operations (lower windscreen) of a Trangia 27. |
Take a await at this diagram of the air stream within a Trangia stove.

The air holes inward the lower windscreen are faced
into the wind. The air is together with so forced upward to a greater extent than or less the burner
in a controlled fashion. The air current acts precisely similar a bellows, oxygenating the burner. The air is heated past times the burner. The heated air is forced upward through the gap betwixt the upper windscreen together with the pot. The narrowness of the gap prevents also much air, air that mightiness rob the arrangement of heat, from flowing through. The air that does stream through is forced to remain unopen to the pot which increases rut transfer. In short, you've got a real efficient stove capable of functioning inward heavy winds.

Now, let's accept a await at the 2 pots. The 2 pots nest neatly within 1 another.

The 2 pots fit together exclusively 1 way. They both receive got the same volume, but 1 is tapered differently than the other. Put the to a greater extent than tapered pot on top, together with it nests neatly in. Put the to a greater extent than tapered pot on the bottom, together with the 2 pots stack inward such a way that both pots tin hold upward used simultaneously. Ingenious!

inside of the pot.

With a pot inward place, the lid fits neatly on, sealing inward the heat.

It doesn't await quite every bit dandy alongside 2 pots, but we're hither to cook, non await good, yes? We could fifty-fifty plough the lid over together with laid upward some meat balls or something inward the lid field the pasta cooks inward the bottom pot together with the sauce warms upward inward the transcend pot. Pretty slick!

OK, so forthwith let's accept a await at the burner. The burner consists of 3 pieces: H5N1 simmer ring, a lid, together with the burner itself. Only the burner itself is required. The lid together with the simmer band may hold upward left behind if so desired.
The simmer band is a band shaped slice of brass that fits over the burner. Attached to the band is a "door" that tin hold upward slid dorsum together with forth opening upward or restricting the burner which causes the flaming to correspondingly increment or diminish. When you lot wish to extinguish the flaming completely, simply unopen the simmer band door completely.

The lid of the Trangia burner is threaded such that it forms a relatively tight seal on the trunk of the burner. H5N1 safe "O" band is emplaced at the halt of the threads so that a genuinely expert seal is made. Because of the "O" ring, alcohol tin hold upward carried inward the stove. So, if at the halt of cooking you lot notwithstanding receive got alcohol left within the stove, no worries, precisely exit it there. There's no ask to become through the hassle of trying to drain the stove. Simply allow the stove cool together with cap the stove. Off you lot become alongside no hassle. Be certain to allow the stove cool outset earlier putting on the cap or you'll melt the "O" ring.
DO NOT use the cap to extinguish the stove. You'll melt the "O" band for sure if you lot exercise the cap to extinguish the stove. Use the simmer band to extinguish the stove. If you've left the simmer band at home, you lot could yank the "O" band out of the cap together with and so extinguish the stove, but that's a fleck of a hassle. If you lot create melt the "O" ring, non to worry. Replacements tin hold upward had easily, together with your stove volition notwithstanding operate without an "O" band (or without the entire lid for that matter).

As for the burner itself, the Trangia burner is an opened upward jet vogue of burner. The opened upward vogue of the burner agency that it's real like shooting fish in a barrel to add together fuel; simply pour it in. Except inward mutual frigidity weather, no priming is required. Simply apply a flaming from a fit or a lighter to the oculus of the opened upward cup, the alcohol volition ignite, together with the stove volition prime number itself. In no fourth dimension at all, the alcohol volition hold upward hot plenty to vaporize, vaporized alcohol volition hold upward coming out the jets, together with the stove volition hold upward up together with running properly.

The Trangia burner is a expert compromise betwixt speed together with efficiency. The Trangia burner is non the fastest alcohol burner out in that location inward damage of boil times, but faster isn't necessarily better. Faster burners tend to require to a greater extent than alcohol to create the same amount of boiling. H5N1 to a greater extent than efficient burner similar the Trangia agency that you lot don't receive got to acquit every bit much fuel. But the Trangia is past times no agency slow. As I say, the Trangia strikes a real expert residual betwixt efficiency together with speed.

As I receive got said, the Trangia is no slouch when it comes to boiling upward water. It's non a gas or liquid fuel stove, but it takes exclusively a infinitesimal or 2 longer than crude fueled stoves.

Now, of course, the whole indicate of a stove is to receive got a warm refreshing imbibe or something squeamish together with hot to eat.
