Hey!

I just tried to use the pan from my 25-1/UL Trangia kitchen. I believe it is aluminium. I wanted to hear what peoples experiences are with the various types of materials for pans in Trangia sets.

In my case we attempted to cook bacon on the pan with a gas burner. We had 10-11m/s winds and 15 C temperature. My pan had a hard time heating up and could easily be touched with my bare hand. The bacon never really got to sear. Meanwhile, my mate had the nonstick pan on his Trangia (also gas burner) which got to sear. We switched the pans, but his Trangia neither managed to heat my pan.

Hence, I was wondering if there are known limitations to the different materials according to the climate around them?

EDIT: The gas burners were more or less at max

I was testing my new mini, I couldn’t put it out even with the simmer ring fully shut, as it was burning through the small hole on the simmer ring. How do I prevent this in future?

My partners trangia was bought by her dad in a charity shop 22 years ago. We still use it on our camping / car camping trips.

Thought it was cool there's a community for it and thought I'd post :)

I've been getting into bike touring this year and finally got myself a way to have a warm dinner. I'm sure I'll mostly heat up cans, but it's amazing what one can do with this little cooker.

Pre-cooked the corn bread the day before on my balcony to save time on my ride the next day, where I cooked the actual (vegan) sausage gravy. Came out less liquidy that gravy maybe should be, but I enjoyed it a lot like that.

Hello,

New to Trangia. Just received my 27-5 package. Want to use it for motorcycle camping. I think I want to "update" it with the gasburner for convenience. Found that they are about 70 to 80 Euros. I also saw a copy in Amazon for about 30 Euros. I was wandering if the original is more than two times better? Anyone here who has experience?

/Edit: ordered one from Amazon for about 30 Euros. Thanks for the comments. Can't wait to start my Trangia journey.

I don't get much chance to get out with the trangia. Had a 27 for over 20 years and it's seen a lot of solo adventures. First time with a 25 out with the family. Brilliant

Long story short, I tried making a truncated cone windscreen/pot stand (caldera cone) and it didn’t come out right: I made it to fit my Uberlebel Kessel pot. The Captain Chaos calculator at Zen Stoves isn’t working as of 2023, so I could not use that as a template.

Sometimes, with or without wind: the fuel burps out and spills onto the ground, and flairs up through the vent holes on the bottom of the windscreen! It goes away if I lift the pot out.

So it’s likely getting too hot, right?

Heute war es soweit. Am Lagerfeuer habe ich meinen ersten Blaubeer Tee mit meinem neuen Trangia Mikro gemacht. Alles passt in Lappland 🇸🇪🙌

Hey everyone!

We've been happily using our Trangia for 3 years.

Recently I wanted to upgrade from the spill-prone standard fuel-bottles to Trangia's fuel bottle.

Initial handling was nice and much less spilling.

During our last hike we sadly had a really big spill though: An object in my backpack seemed to have landed on the fuel bottles closing mechanism, allowing fuel to exit the bottle at certain angles.

This made me realize that Trangia's fuel bottle can't really be fully closed by e. g. a locking mechanism, which is a real oversight in my opinion.

Do you happen to know a better alternative?

Heute sind wir auf der E14 durch Zufall bei Trangia vorbei gekommen. Da musste ich gleich mal anhalten und das Museum anschauen. Natürlich ging es dann auch in den Werksverkauf und ich habe mir einen Trangia Micro für die Tagestour mit warmen Tee oder mal ein Trockensüppchen zugelegt. Ein schöner Besuch.

Wish all mornings started like this.

I took this picture last summer while cooking potatoes with seawater at the european northern sea. I deeply hope to repeat this the soon coming summer :)

Hi there!

Wondering - does anyone have avalaible 1l saucepan inner (https://trangia.se/en/shop/saucepan-1-l-inner/) and minipan (https://trangia.se/en/shop/frypan-mini-trangia-ha/) to see, whether minipan actually suits as a lid for this spesific pan?

And another one - is minipan or similar size avalaible as duossal? 🤔

This is just simple happines :-) getting outside with family and enjoy a good cup of coffe.

Just picked up a 25 set in Duossal, and I'm oddly getting a lot of metallic residue when wiping them down.

I washed them after unboxing everything and found that I got a lot of metallic looking residue when drying them all. I figured this was just left over from the manufacturing (stands to reason coming out of a big factory with a bunch of metal work going on), but I have subsequently washed and dried them several times, as well as tried boiling water in one and every time I wipe them down I still get a bunch of metallic residue. I've only ever hand washed them, and used mild soap.

Waiting to hear back from Trangia, but just thought it was worth a post to see if anyone had ever experienced the same with their Duossal cookware.

Hi guys, I've just got my first trangia spirit burner (25-7 set). I decided to try it out at home this afternoon and after multiple attempts, I just can't get it to bloom. It works fine for boiling water (which I did as a test a couple of times) but it never blooms and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong or what's left to try.

The attached images are after almost 20 minutes of burning and there's only a few more minutes of fuel left in the burner. This was just one of many attempts which I varied a lot to test what I'm doing wrong. But it always just burned like in the attached images.

What I've tried:

• Environment: >15 degrees C, no wind.
• Fuel: Ethanol (94%). I've used it both, pure and with a bit of water dilution to reduce soot (which worked noticeably).
• Fill level: I've experimented with fill levels of 40%, 50%, and 66%. No difference.
• Setup: always with the windshield/protection (see image). Tried with and without kettle on top. No difference.
• All those little "jet holes" are clear and free of obstruction. In some of them I can see a white wick going sideways right below the hole.

At this point I'm even wondering if it could be defective. Not sure if this is even possible with such a "simple" device. Any ideas?

EDIT: Mystery solved! Long story short: it was the fuel. I now have two bottles here that both claim to be ethanol (95%, denatured) and one works fine (near instant bloom) and the other doesn't. I did not expect such a difference in fuel to be possible (especially for fuel that claims to be the same thing) but here we are.

Hello folks

Looking for info of trangia Billy for my 25. Trangia always sees to be out of it here in the USA website. eBay options are way inflated. Is there any other brand pot that will nest the 25? . Also looking for a stainless steel kettle that fits the 25.

Thanks in advance

Hello Trangia users,

I am looking into getting a Trangia for long-term use. However, I couldn't find a good comparison of the two sizes. Mostly it comes down to reviewers repeating the website and saying '27 is for 1-2 persons, 25 is for 3-4', while comments sometimes say '27 is too small for me alone' whereas others say '25 is too large for the two of us'. Unfortunately I don't have store closeby to go and actually hold the two models side by side, so I was hoping you'd be able to give me some tips. I have already decided on full (UL) aluminum; cheap and durable, and as I am always careful with my stuff I don't expect to need the HA/Duossal. I'm planning on getting the gas burner as well anyway, just for the flexibilty (and the fire warnings in certain areas).

My use case would be mostly 'civilised' camping (for lack of better terms, haha, just standard camping sites for families/hikers) but I would like to be able to go on multiple-day hikes sometimes and maybe try some wild camping. This would be varying from solo to maybe 3 or even 4 people, but mostly solo or with 2.. (with 3/4 people I'd bring an extra cooking set anyway) I'm not going ultra-light where every gram is one too much, but I am being sensible about overpacking and too much weight.

I was leaning towards the 27, small size and lowest weight, with the extra Billy pot. Would this be a sensible choice for me? Or is the 27 really only for solo campers who don't eat much?

Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to posting my camping meals on here.

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if a Triangia Triangle in disassembled state fits in the 1L outer saucepan that comes with the 27 series:

https://trangia.se/en/shop/saucepan-1-l-outer/

I'm getting some conflicting information on the internet regarding the Triangle... If someone could measure the dimensions marked with the red arrows in the picture it would be highly appreciated. (Picture grabbed from the internet)

Got a trangia set to use while camping in the uk, managed to fry eggs and didn’t burn at all! Great piece of camping gear, very impressed

As a followup to my post the other day about plastic bags for the Trangia, this is what I’ve settled on for a trial run on a short fishing outing this afternoon.

I need to pick up a new mini Bic lighter or some wooden matches that will also fit in here, and I need to find the Soto pot and cup that I plan to actually use with this.

Good enough for a first run on a short two hour trip.

Thanks for all of the help with the plastic bags

I got my Trangia a few weeks ago but I haven't used it yet.

This product is sold in Canadian (Quebec) stores.

Breakfast omlette and a few stew cooked on a T27 HA.

I was boiling water, and the flames were really high, no fancy fuel, just meths... I put it down to me trying out the preheater at +10c 🤣
