Trangia Mini

Product Information

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. 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. I have used this stove in many different weather conditions with success, in both cold and warm temperatures, in snowy and rainy conditions, and in altitudes up to 10,000 feet. Sure some of these varying conditions do affect the performance of the stove, but it still works. I should add that the use of a windscreen should be considered in most instances as it does seem to be affected in winds over 5 mph. I hope you enjoy these delicious and easy recipe ideas that can be cooked using a Trangia stove with a gas burner. Experiment with different ingredients, spices, and variations to suit your taste preferences and dietary restrictions. You can also get creative with your Trangia cookset by trying different cooking techniques such as simmering, sautéing, and grilling.

This stove will boil two quarts of water on just over an ounce of fuel. So keeping this in mind an 8-ounce fuel bottle will last you about 6 days making coffee in the morning and a dehydrated meal at night. Once you finish boiling or cooking, just simply drop the simmer plate over the stove and this extinguishes the stove. To use the simmer lid with the stove just slide it to the open position and adjust the flame to the level desired. Preparing ingredients at home before camping saves time, effort, and space and ensures you have all the necessary ingredients for delicious outdoor meals. The reason is that the windshield does not trap the heat in as soon as there is slight wind. Efficiency goes down the cellar, completely unacceptable, the stove gets EXTREMELY thirsty. Cutting a soda can into shape as an extra windshield makes it slightly better however. Note:Remember to follow proper safety precautions when cooking on a Trangia stove, such as using it in a well-ventilated area, keeping a fire extinguisher or water source nearby, and using caution with open flames. Adjust cooking times and heat levels depending on your Trangia model and environmental conditions. Tips for Preparing Ahead of Time Things I like: easy to use, nothing to fail in the field, and I know how to safely handle its fuel. I also like the idea that the alcohol that this stove burns comes from a renewable resource and not a fossil fuel. The stove is quiet when operating and with a little practice with the simmer ring, you can cook all sorts of things.I have used my Mini-T 28 often. I do day trips, weekend trips, and even take it on road trips. When used for its intended use it works flawlessly. By that I mean, measure when, where, and how you are going to be cooking. Don't expect it to be the be-all-end-all of camping stoves. 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. So with my Trangia in "storage mode" I have in it: the stove, snuffer cap/simmer ring, the storage cap, potstand, potlifter, windscreen folded up, a three inch long strip of cardboard to ease lighting (not needed, but nice to have), and the tealight.

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: Summing up: Avoid, unless you will cook only in sheltered locations. Get the Trangia 27-1 instead, which is a great stove. The extra size and weight will be offset by greater fuel efficiency if your trip is longer than just a couple of days. Here I will give you a list of recipes I love cooking when camping using my Trangia stove. These recipe ideas for the trangia stove will give you a greater appreciation of cooking outdoors. The Trangia cooking system allows you to cook excellent meals when out in the wild. Trangia Recipe Ideas: Environmentally Friendly:The Trangia stove is known for its environmentally friendly design. It runs on gas, a clean-burning fuel that produces minimal smoke and soot, reducing the environmental impact compared to other cooking methods like wood fires. You can also use an alcohol stove, the more traditional way of cooking, using a Trangia stove.Flip the pot stand upside down, and center it over the tealight. Place your stove on the upside down pot stand. In just a minute your Trangia will be warmed up, now just set the stove up like normal, and light it (you could also use the tealight to warm up water for a cup of coco instead of lighting the Trangia).

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. 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. 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. When Camping, I prefer to use my gas attachment for my Trangia stove because it gives me more flexibility when cooking. Using the gas attachment allows for greater control when cooking and opens up a range of foods you can cook.Not as hot as canister stoves, In bright light you cant see the flame, Windscreen could be better, A little heavy The stove is brass, and very stout. It has no moving parts to break mid hike. I love the way the whole kit neatly fits together inside the pot and frying pan/lid. It can simmer, which most alcohol stoves can not. You can use the simmer ring to put out the stove when done cooking. It has a storage cap, so when you have alcohol left over in your stove, you just screw on the cap, and hike on! Personally I think the Mini-T 28 when combined with the Trangia 27 Cookset makes for a perfect camp kitchen set up for most any cooking needs during longer trips out. I say this because I am an avid roadie and will often go on roadtrips for as long as 30 days or more. I ALWAYS take the Mini-T and the Trangia 27-7 with me for more extended days out.
