That was very brave of you Richard for finally coming out as a stove-aholic. I understand the cure is to purchase more, use and admire them.😅 I don't suppose it really matters what they were called, how about very very tasty. Thanks Richard.
As a chef and an outdoor foodie, I too love stoves. I'm hyper wary though of deep frying over liquid/gas flames and even over embers. It's hard to regulate the heat, not impossible, but when the cooking oil ignites you know all about it!!! I prefer using less oil and shallow frying. It's slower but easier to manage. Yes, it means turning the food more often and sometimes requires a second fry to crisp but that's easy when batch cooking. Good video. Thanks.
Thanks for the video, Richard. One more thing that I like about my Trangia system is that it's absolutely quiet. Can't say that about modern superfast gas stoves.
finally one of the good old 'cooking-in-the-woods-and-making-jokes'-videos... Thanks for that! I have seen a lot of bike-tourers using this setup. For cooking complete meals I think it is quite nice..
Hello Richard. My name's Barney and I too am a stoveaholic (takes deep breath!). I'm not sure anyone can call themselves a stoveaholic without having at least one Trangia in their collection. They're fantastic bits of kit. Simple, silent and reliable. The Trangia 27 is a little heavy and bulky conpared to others, but then again, it is a complete cook kit. For that reason, my Trangia comes out mostly for car camping trips. Last time out I used the pans to create a nice little pizza oven. Many thanks for sharing another wonderful video, those pakoras looked amazing, definitely something to put on my to-do list. You can get a Trangia 27 kettle which will nest with the cook system - worth a look next time you want to tickle that stoveaholic within! All the best 👍
@@RichardOutdoors The 27 is the smaller one. I'm a stoveaholic too, so i have a few pieces of trangia kit in my collection, amongst others... Thank you for a pleasant video, and the kind of content we subscribers like are videos with Richard in them 👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video, Richard! The Trangia system certainly has character - I love mine. If you put the burner inside the kettle and lift up the pot supports, the kettle actually fits inside the pot and the supports are folded down to hold the kettle in place. The pan handle then lies across the top of the kettle! It's actually a very compact system, considering the amount of cookware it contains.
Thank you for sharing what is obviously a painful subject with us. If more people were as brave as you to face their weaknesses this would be a better world… and there would be more stoves for ME!
You had me going there for a minute. I even shed a little tear over your stove addiction. Of course I share that affliction, but I'm not seeking a cure. Thank you Richard, I always enjoy spending an adventure with you.
Great video Richard, and what an excellent idea re the reusable bags. Thanks for sharing the recipe, that's definitely one up from a bacon and eggs lunch!
Proving once again, that just because one is camping, doesn't mean that you have to eat cold beans from a can to fill your tummy. Anyone willing to carry a bit of extra equipment, find a fairly simple recipe and feast on something wonderful! Thanks for sharing!!! As far as your content? I like everything and anything you share with us!!
Great video, funny and fun outing for an excuse to use a trangia camp stove. I am also a camp stove collector. Each outing is different and I like exploring different stoves when I cook. Thanks again. You have a new fan!❤️
Baji, pakoda, pakora, bhajji. All mean the same thing. Bhajji is used more in the state of Maharashtra e.g. kanda bhajji (onion bhajji), batata bhajji (potato bhajji), etc. Pakoras / pakodas are used in North India. In Gujarat they are called bhajiya. Been there, learnt that. Atb, The_Solo_Hiker....
Hi Richard, thank you for the great video, and yes you have a lot of faithful followers, just keep going, as we all await your great videos, be safe my friend
Great video Richard. Who doesn't love a stove!? I know I do.. I've had my Trangia since I was a kid in the Boy Scouts & that was the 1980s, I'm in my mid 50s now & I still use it. They might not be as slick as the more modern alternatives, but the fact I've still got the same one some 40 odd years later & it still does what it's supposed to do is enough for me. I'm glad you liked using it despite its quirky ways. One thing I was taught as a kid if you are using meths (purple) was to add some water to it, not a lot obviously, this reduces the sooting on the pans, not sure if it burns any cooler, but it does work. I might try out your recipe to looks delicious. Thanks for sharing, hope to see you on another flight soon Cheers John b😎
Yeah I'm not gonna lie trangia's are dangerous stoves you'll get hooked after figuring them out, I started with a cheap classic 27-? (One with a kettle) just to restore during lockdown now I've got the a duosal pot and pan even the billy pot and matching plate for it the multi disc, a mini and a triangle with a mess tin and even a gell burner. I wouldn't worry about the floor with a trangia stove as I use mine on my fabric ultra light table
Great video Richard. I bought the stainless frying pan to go with my Trangia 25 it’s the best one of the three they offer as it is by far the easiest to clean. There’s nothing wrong in being a ‘stove aholic’, hoping your collection continues to grow! It would be great to see more videos like this, woodlands, kit and cooking! Cheers.
Hmm, you do have a (stove) problem there, don’t you? Trangia? Love it. Apart for a home-modified cutlery-drainer twig-stove the Trangia is my only, had it since my 20s (I’m 77) and it does all I need. My kettle fits inside my Trangia kit (you implied yours did not). I don’t have a “gas hole” as that was not an option when I bought mine. Great video, and I always enjoy your stuff. Hope for more motorbike content, and fishing… if you’re inclined to do that, but whatever you do is fine with me. Les (used to live in Long Preston..) PS, you with Indian food on the Trangia, and Colin Furze cooking pizza on a (moving) motorbike. Good content on a Thursday night!
Richard, it's been a while since I've checked back in, loving the humour as always and this bit of kit I always use... Admittedly, and perhaps shamefully, I'm yet to get the pinnacle of all stove holders and burners, which you produce!
My new "go to" is the click stand for the trangia . Recently did a 3 day motorcycle camp , cooked every meal and brew on it . Great bit of kit ! Videos. More of the same !
If you use meths as a fuel, adding 10% water significantly reduces soot on the cookware. I upgraded from the Teflon coated set, ignored the hard anodised version and got the Duosall stainless 27 set. Next to my British Army Crusader set - also running on alcohol fuel, it's my favoured system for proper meals. Love the fact unlike gas you know exactly how much fuel you have left and you can buy the fuel at all kinds of places. It's robust, there's nothing to break. I mostly tour on a motorcycle, so weight isn't an issue.
Consolation my friend. I'm addicted to tiny victorinox classic sd knives 😪😪. I just can't help. It must be my age or so 😟😟. No healing found yet. Great cooking and video Richard!.Greatings, Henk.
If your trangia is producing soot your methanol is impure or has dye added . I buy pure methanol from my local co-op hardware & it’s clear as pure water and produces no soot, costs a pretty penny though. $16.99 cad for 3.78 litres. The onion bargies looked delicious!
Glad to see you using a Trangia Stove. To take it to the next level try using one of your gas adapters. Controllable flame - well cooked food. Also throw away that naff kettle and get a proper Trangia one, which will nest inside your cook set and enable you to store the gas burner. I don’t care what the subject matter is, I just enjoy watching your RUclips content. So keep them coming!
Looks like great weather, we had similar weather here today. As for the Trangia, I have no plans to acquire one of those cook-sets. Too limited unless you use the propane adapter. The food looked addictive. Thanks for sharing.
Trangia is the safest cook system you can get. I admit the spirit burner can be a bit daunting for kids with the flame, but with the gas burner they are totally controllable. The best part is stability, you would need to be a a total buffoon to tip over a Trangia and any of the pans/kettle. I have witnessed some nasty scalds and serious burns from pans tipping off 'balance on' stoves. This summer my 5 year old grandson and 8 year old granddaughter cooked there own dinner while camping in Wales, they absolutely loved it. They didn't try deep fat frying though, that's MAD
Just keep doing your thing Richard! I enjoy the reviews along with your cooking. What other stove would you normally use? Gas, Wood? Wood can be very messy with soot. Gas is expensive, somewhat dangerous. The Trangia 27 is smaller and more suited to backpacking if you're into cooking. Do folks use white gas anymore? That's what we always used in the past. It's loud. Jetboil is good for water and backpacking if you use food to rehydrate. Anyway, I enjoy your videos. Always nice content.
Best stove in the world. One of the few stoves that you can actually cook on. Gas is hopeless as it is very difficult to simmer outdoors. The kettle fits inside the pots. There is a chopping board/strainer that fits inside. Lighting is simple if you use one of those extendable lighters. It’s silent and cooks sausages without burning them. Once mastered the simmer ring is superb and can easily be adjusted with the small pliers on a Swiss Army knife. I’ve had mine since about 1977 and have spent ridiculous amounts of money on alternatives but keep going back to the Trangia. If you want to go really lightweight try the Trangia 28. The pots are big enough to wash up in or have a bird bath with a flannel. When packed away it actually takes up less room than alternatives with a frying pan big enough to be useable.
And there he is…! The Mr O we know and love 😊 That’s the best video we’ve seen in ages - “Stove-aholics” and lobsters🦞 😂… everything we ever needed to lift our flagging spirits this evening 🤗🤗 S&D xx
Thanks, Richard, another superb video I really enjoyed it. I too am a stoveaholic so will enjoy replicating the onion bhajis. One thing, I know you are a pilot but don't take up bombing Your experience with the Trangia lid does not bode well! Keep the videos coming and enjoy this weather.
Lovely video Richard. Personally, I find being married to a former Bank Manager stops me from gathering the various gadgets that "I need".....budget requests submitted in triplicate needed with next no to guarantee of approval!
Great video, your breaver than me deep frying. I have both sizes of trangia and often use both together. I find regulating the temperature is easy enough. Getting the chopping board strainer is definitely worth while.
Those Pakodas turned out soo good Richard! 😊😊 Just a tip while making them next time: Don't squeeze out the moisture from the onions next time and when mixing the batter, you don't have to add water to it. The moisture from the Onions will dampen the Besan. That way you will thicker consistency and crispier Pakodas! 😁😁
I have 2 rivers nearby - the Hodder and the Ribble - quite fast both of them so fun in a kayak. I am going for the 27 if I can get one under £40 they're very expensive for what they are. The cure is to buy more stoves isn't it? I use meths as I like the smell. 😂 beans for breakfast?
Nice one Richard,will definitely be making these on my next trip away,a chilli tomato dip would also be a good accompaniment for them,keep the videos coming please 👍
Hi Richard, onion bhajis looked good, I am going to have to give them a try. Trangia do a kettle that fits in the 27, when I purchased mine (just over 40 years ago) it came with a kettle. Also I use methanol in my burner, and have no sooting issues. Keep the videos coming 😁
Ginge and I attended a stoveohilcs meeting when I was at KK recently. It was good to admit we have issues, however the very next day I found myself in an outdoors shop looking at new stoves. I didn't actually buy one so I suppose that's a positive. Good luck on your personal journey. 😂 Seriously though, with the sooting of the pans have you tried adding a drop of water to your meths? Works every time. Bhajis looked lovely!
I love my Trangia burner and have been eyeing up the 27 full stove kit for a long time with similar thoughts to what you had. I think I might have to get it now thanks to this 😁
Your impression of a stove addict really convinced my wife she had a puzzled look 👀 and then suddenly realised you were acting so can I suggest maybe a new career. Great video camping stove and cooking recipe. 👍👍
Greetings from West Chester, OH - Richard have you’ve ever considered an episode evaluating ovens, including ones you’ve built? That would be interesting.
Pakora, usually. Nice one! I admit I do quite like proper homemade chai, though I notice you haven't picked up the habit of drinking it from a saucer 😉 Now when you get really desified, it'll be meat on the bone and eating with your hand 😉 and I admit, I do have a growing curiosity for India, maybe one day. Knives, Flashlights and Stoves are a curse, and I've misplaced more than I can find...
Hey Richard my friend do you have a link to the king carp table. I looked in the description and didn’t see one n I googled it only to get pics of people catching carp lol. Loved the video so keep them coming!!
I don’t, I’m afraid. Can’t remember where I got it. This looks like an identical one: thetackletavern.co.uk/product/leeda-specimen-bivvy-table/?Google%20Shopping&Google%20Shopping%20Feed&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmICoBhDxARIsABXkXlK5Zdseq710GonISN7Zq21So64pUgkKlCcDaVFHKkFkapNGGpOWla0aAoMxEALw_wcB
Thanks for that Richard. It's been along time since I've eaten Onion Bhaji's! But that was great seeing you maing them and cooking them on your trusty Trangia! I really enjoyed it, I reckon I could smell them all the wayover to where I live; on Lake Balaton in Hungary! Cheers and keep 'em coming!
Lovely video Richard. I steered clear of Trangia type stoves for many years, why would you use something messy and inefficient when gas was available? Then I decided to try a Trangia and I loved it. I do use it with bio ethanol though as it gives zero soot, unlike meths. Do still like my Jet boil though; just saying. Yes, I am a stovaholic.
Great lunch video. Thanks Richard. The soot is from the fuel chosen (which is many for Trangia) not a characteristic of the stove. I use fondue fuel or methyl hydrate which seem to be clean burning. Long live the stove collectors…
It is a brilliant piece of kit. As a stoveaholic also I have been trying to get something as good as this but always return to it. It has everything you need! You can start a brew and although it takes a while to boil, you have time to do other things at the same time whilst knowing it is safe and heating your water. It is a joy to use😊, oh pakora for me!
Absolutely brilliant video. I am one of the stove junkies too. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it - is make a penny stove from a drinks can and warm up some homemade soup with a cuppa👌👌👍🏻 All the Best. Mack and Maggie, Huddersfield
Hi Richard, Pot Support - handle maybe, or I may be missing the point. Just a thought. Will you and Simon ABITW do a joint, reliable bread recipe post, we'd all be grateful. Kingcarp - do you mean Kingcamp? J's used Trangia from over 40 years ago, she loves them. Oh, and on the 'aholic' front, trust me, it isn't just stoves... I refer you to x=n+1 as a collector. Nice Pakoras - Best J&A&B&T Oooh, is "Nice Pakoras" appropriate nowadays??
I don't know if I'd qualify for the SAA, as I only indulge a bit on the weekends; just a little bit of coffee on a solid fuel stove, the occasional session with a Trangia or Swiss Meta 50 here and there, the occasional firing up of a gas stove, a bit of boiling a cuppa on a Volcano stove... anyhow, what I like about the Trangia is that it's essentially bombproof self-contained and versatile kit that will work in conditions where most gas stoves give up. It's a bit weighty (the 27 is the bigger kit, 25 the smaller EDIT: it's actually the other way around, as Richard points out), but for that weight you get a solid base and windscreen, two pots and a pan, plus a kettle if you bought that, that all nest into a compact kit. If you took a gas stove and intend to use it for things other than just boiling water, you'd soon approch a similar weight point, and you'd probably not get it all in a compact setup. And of course, the burner itself can be used in various setups. By the way, the original burner has a wick inside the shell, while many Chinese knock-offs are just empty space - that wicking actions contributes a lot to the efficiency. And you can notice that in soda can stoves - if you make one that's just empty space, it'll be less efficient than if you insert some type of wicking material between the inner and outer shell (cotton in a pinch, or maybe some type of fireproof insulation material). Also, that sooting up depends a lot on the fuel. My country has two brands of domestically produced meths available: one is used as anti-freeze and that does soot up quite badly - the other is purpose-made for alcohol stoves, and causes hardly any sooting up at all. I think the main difference is that the purpose-made fuel has something along the lines of 5-10% of water in it, which reduces the soot (also makes it a bit less efficient, but you'd hardly notice it in most cases) - though the exact chemical makeup is also a bit different. You might experiment with adding some water to the fuel you're using to see if it helps with the soot build-up.
@@RichardOutdoors Ah, you're right. I have the bigger kit I bought years ago, and for some reason I always misremeber it - but I've seen some other people mix them up too, so luckily it's not just me.
Lmao 🤣 I know only too well what it’s like being a stove-a-holic so yeah I can sympathise 😢😆. I have the cheap Chinese knock off but I in tend to get the proper trangia kit, it’s missing from my secret collection. Love your videos Richard keep em coming and thank you for your time and effort
Wonderful little film Richard, I adore Trangia, I have all of them, I plumped for the Hard Anodised sets (There goes the Stoveaholic in me) I adore the versatility of the Trangia concept but my preference is always to cook with the gas burner as its way more controllable, thanks for the recipe too, I'll give it a go. On a slightly weird tangent, given your career path in the clouds I found myself wondering (Not seriously) if the Trangia burner would work with Jet A-1 ? BTW - next time you see the enormous wind turbine in Aylesbury, 10 - 15 miles before the BOVVA hold, that's where I live. see you in the sky, well one day maybe ?
As with all hobby and obsession kit....if you actually know exactly how many (stoves) you've got, you haven't got enough!😂 Great video Richard. My wife and I started off our camping adventures many, many years ago, with a Trangia stove set, bought for me as a birthday present by my lovely brother. I still have it in ' the collection' and like you, the actual burner has seen more use than the complete set in more recent days. I have also moved away fully from all aluminium equipment in favour of more durable, safer and more versatile stainless steel kit. I don't hike and so don't worry obsessively about weight. My gear is carried in packs for short canoe portages or vehicle based trips with short walks usually. I will never get rid of my Trangia set though, and this video has inspired me to give it a dust off and another outing! I love your films. Keep on keeping on. Also, once in a while, I personally, would love you to do another combined flying film with a trip somewhere? Maybe another one with Simon...? Happy Camping and safe flying!
I had the non-stick trangia 27 but after about a year I finished up with the 25 set in hard anodized as I found it better for the clean up. Didn't fancy the plain aluminium version because one cleaning is a pain and also leeching.
Hey! If you try this recipe, send me a picture of your result! I may even feature the pic on the next video!

Gas is expensive, somewhat dangerous. The Trangia 27 is smaller and more suited to backpacking if you're into cooking. Do folks use white gas anymore? That's what we always used in the past. It's loud. Jetboil is good for water and backpacking if you use food to rehydrate. Anyway, I enjoy your videos. Always nice content.
Best stove in the world. One of the few stoves that you can actually cook on. Gas is hopeless as it is very difficult to simmer outdoors. The kettle fits inside the pots. There is a chopping board/strainer that fits inside. Lighting is simple if you use one of those extendable lighters. It’s silent and cooks sausages without burning them. Once mastered the simmer ring is superb and can easily be adjusted with the small pliers on a Swiss Army knife. I’ve had mine since about 1977 and have spent ridiculous amounts of money on alternatives but keep going back to the Trangia. If you want to go really lightweight try the Trangia 28. The pots are big enough to wash up in or have a bird bath with a flannel. When packed away it actually takes up less room than alternatives with a frying pan big enough to be useable.
Great stuff. Thanks!
Fantastic stuff! I’m a big Trangia fan!
Same here!
Best thing for stove addiction is a new stove. Only temporary relief tho.
Lovely vlog. The bonus is always a giggle, so proud to be a subscriber.
Thanks so much! 😊
Great vid Rich
Glad you enjoyed it
Surely can't be better than the 'fire trough'?
Nothing comes close!
And there he is…! The Mr O we know and love 😊 That’s the best video we’ve seen in ages - “Stove-aholics” and lobsters🦞 😂… everything we ever needed to lift our flagging spirits this evening 🤗🤗 S&D xx
Awwww! Xx
Thanks, Richard, another superb video I really enjoyed it. I too am a stoveaholic so will enjoy replicating the onion bhajis. One thing, I know you are a pilot but don't take up bombing Your experience with the Trangia lid does not bode well! Keep the videos coming and enjoy this weather.
It was a strafing manoeuvre!
haha@@RichardOutdoors
Lovely video Richard. Personally, I find being married to a former Bank Manager stops me from gathering the various gadgets that "I need".....budget requests submitted in triplicate needed with next no to guarantee of approval!
🤣
Another wonderful video. Keep up the good work. I'm on vacation in Worcester currently, but will be in Yorkshire next week when it's a bit cooler.
Sounds great!
Great video, your breaver than me deep frying. I have both sizes of trangia and often use both together. I find regulating the temperature is easy enough. Getting the chopping board strainer is definitely worth while.
Thanks for the tips!
Those Pakodas turned out soo good Richard! 😊😊
Just a tip while making them next time: Don't squeeze out the moisture from the onions next time and when mixing the batter, you don't have to add water to it. The moisture from the Onions will dampen the Besan. That way you will thicker consistency and crispier Pakodas! 😁😁
Thanks for the tip!
I have 2 rivers nearby - the Hodder and the Ribble - quite fast both of them so fun in a kayak. I am going for the 27 if I can get one under £40 they're very expensive for what they are. The cure is to buy more stoves isn't it? I use meths as I like the smell. 😂 beans for breakfast?
Hi Richard just about to go shopping for the bhaji ingredients thanks to your inspiration regards Tony
Hope you enjoy
Tip_use the healthier sea salt.
No.
Nice one Richard,will definitely be making these on my next trip away,a chilli tomato dip would also be a good accompaniment for them,keep the videos coming please 👍
Do send pics of your results!
Hi Richard, onion bhajis looked good, I am going to have to give them a try. Trangia do a kettle that fits in the 27, when I purchased mine (just over 40 years ago) it came with a kettle. Also I use methanol in my burner, and have no sooting issues. Keep the videos coming 😁
Sounds great!
this video came perfectly timed! I have a curry in the fridge and some samosas, and a cold beer ready!
Perfect!
Ginge and I attended a stoveohilcs meeting when I was at KK recently. It was good to admit we have issues, however the very next day I found myself in an outdoors shop looking at new stoves. I didn't actually buy one so I suppose that's a positive. Good luck on your personal journey. 😂
Seriously though, with the sooting of the pans have you tried adding a drop of water to your meths? Works every time. Bhajis looked lovely!
Good to know!
Buy more is all I can as I've just a trangia stove to 😅
I love my Trangia burner and have been eyeing up the 27 full stove kit for a long time with similar thoughts to what you had. I think I might have to get it now thanks to this 😁
Hi Matey - good choice pal!
Your impression of a stove addict really convinced my wife she had a puzzled look 👀 and then suddenly realised you were acting so can I suggest maybe a new career.
Great video camping stove and cooking recipe. 👍👍
😁
Brilliant video love the relaxed chatty ones
The lobster! The lobster! Why has no-one mentioned the return of the 🦞?😅
What lobster?
Yes, this!! 😊
It does seem like exactly the right cooker for that dish.
I think so too!
Greetings from West Chester, OH - Richard have you’ve ever considered an episode evaluating ovens, including ones you’ve built? That would be interesting.
Hi. I only have one!
Pakora, usually. Nice one! I admit I do quite like proper homemade chai, though I notice you haven't picked up the habit of drinking it from a saucer 😉
Now when you get really desified, it'll be meat on the bone and eating with your hand 😉 and I admit, I do have a growing curiosity for India, maybe one day.
Knives, Flashlights and Stoves are a curse, and I've misplaced more than I can find...
spot on video richard. i am going to make this to go with the chicken tikka marsala over a wood fire next week
Do send photos!
@@RichardOutdoors i will
Hey Richard my friend do you have a link to the king carp table. I looked in the description and didn’t see one n I googled it only to get pics of people catching carp lol. Loved the video so keep them coming!!
I don’t, I’m afraid. Can’t remember where I got it. This looks like an identical one: thetackletavern.co.uk/product/leeda-specimen-bivvy-table/?Google%20Shopping&Google%20Shopping%20Feed&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmICoBhDxARIsABXkXlK5Zdseq710GonISN7Zq21So64pUgkKlCcDaVFHKkFkapNGGpOWla0aAoMxEALw_wcB
Thanks for that Richard. It's been along time since I've eaten Onion Bhaji's! But that was great seeing you maing them and cooking them on your trusty Trangia! I really enjoyed it, I reckon I could smell them all the wayover to where I live; on Lake Balaton in Hungary! Cheers and keep 'em coming!
Thanks for watching!
Lovely video Richard. I steered clear of Trangia type stoves for many years, why would you use something messy and inefficient when gas was available? Then I decided to try a Trangia and I loved it. I do use it with bio ethanol though as it gives zero soot, unlike meths. Do still like my Jet boil though; just saying. Yes, I am a stovaholic.
Great as always Richard 😁they looked very nice. I’ve done a lot of camping and cooking in the woods but never deep frying
Great lunch video. Thanks Richard. The soot is from the fuel chosen (which is many for Trangia) not a characteristic of the stove. I use fondue fuel or methyl hydrate which seem to be clean burning. Long live the stove collectors…
Thanks for the info!
It is a brilliant piece of kit. As a stoveaholic also I have been trying to get something as good as this but always return to it.
It has everything you need! You can start a brew and although it takes a while to boil, you have time to do other things at the same time whilst knowing it is safe and heating your water.
It is a joy to use😊, oh pakora for me!
Couldn't agree more!
Absolutely brilliant video.
I am one of the stove junkies too.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it - is make a penny stove from a drinks can and warm up some homemade soup with a cuppa👌👌👍🏻
All the Best.
Mack and Maggie, Huddersfield
Look at my back-catalogue. I’ve made many!
Hi Richard, Pot Support - handle maybe, or I may be missing the point. Just a thought. Will you and Simon ABITW do a joint, reliable bread recipe post, we'd all be grateful. Kingcarp - do you mean Kingcamp? J's used Trangia from over 40 years ago, she loves them. Oh, and on the 'aholic' front, trust me, it isn't just stoves... I refer you to x=n+1 as a collector. Nice Pakoras - Best J&A&B&T
Oooh, is "Nice Pakoras" appropriate nowadays??
🤣🤣 No. king ‘carp’ as in the fish.
I don't know if I'd qualify for the SAA, as I only indulge a bit on the weekends; just a little bit of coffee on a solid fuel stove, the occasional session with a Trangia or Swiss Meta 50 here and there, the occasional firing up of a gas stove, a bit of boiling a cuppa on a Volcano stove... anyhow, what I like about the Trangia is that it's essentially bombproof self-contained and versatile kit that will work in conditions where most gas stoves give up. It's a bit weighty (the 27 is the bigger kit, 25 the smaller EDIT: it's actually the other way around, as Richard points out), but for that weight you get a solid base and windscreen, two pots and a pan, plus a kettle if you bought that, that all nest into a compact kit. If you took a gas stove and intend to use it for things other than just boiling water, you'd soon approch a similar weight point, and you'd probably not get it all in a compact setup. And of course, the burner itself can be used in various setups. By the way, the original burner has a wick inside the shell, while many Chinese knock-offs are just empty space - that wicking actions contributes a lot to the efficiency. And you can notice that in soda can stoves - if you make one that's just empty space, it'll be less efficient than if you insert some type of wicking material between the inner and outer shell (cotton in a pinch, or maybe some type of fireproof insulation material).
Also, that sooting up depends a lot on the fuel. My country has two brands of domestically produced meths available: one is used as anti-freeze and that does soot up quite badly - the other is purpose-made for alcohol stoves, and causes hardly any sooting up at all. I think the main difference is that the purpose-made fuel has something along the lines of 5-10% of water in it, which reduces the soot (also makes it a bit less efficient, but you'd hardly notice it in most cases) - though the exact chemical makeup is also a bit different. You might experiment with adding some water to the fuel you're using to see if it helps with the soot build-up.
Good stuff. Although strangely reversed, the 27 is the smaller kit - 25 bigger.
@@RichardOutdoors Ah, you're right. I have the bigger kit I bought years ago, and for some reason I always misremeber it - but I've seen some other people mix them up too, so luckily it's not just me.
Can you make a madras out in the woods lamb or beef ?
Nothing lucky with those , they looked lush.
Good vid mate - one day at a time with the stoves 😂
Keep them coming 11.5 k is good I can’t get above 750!! 😂
You can do it!
Lmao 🤣 I know only too well what it’s like being a stove-a-holic so yeah I can sympathise 😢😆.
I have the cheap Chinese knock off but I in tend to get the proper trangia kit, it’s missing from my secret collection. Love your videos Richard keep em coming and thank you for your time and effort
😁
Wonderful little film Richard, I adore Trangia, I have all of them, I plumped for the Hard Anodised sets (There goes the Stoveaholic in me) I adore the versatility of the Trangia concept but my preference is always to cook with the gas burner as its way more controllable, thanks for the recipe too, I'll give it a go.
On a slightly weird tangent, given your career path in the clouds I found myself wondering (Not seriously) if the Trangia burner would work with Jet A-1 ?
BTW - next time you see the enormous wind turbine in Aylesbury, 10 - 15 miles before the BOVVA hold, that's where I live. see you in the sky, well one day maybe ?
I’ll look out!
As with all hobby and obsession kit....if you actually know exactly how many (stoves) you've got, you haven't got enough!😂 Great video Richard. My wife and I started off our camping adventures many, many years ago, with a Trangia stove set, bought for me as a birthday present by my lovely brother. I still have it in ' the collection' and like you, the actual burner has seen more use than the complete set in more recent days. I have also moved away fully from all aluminium equipment in favour of more durable, safer and more versatile stainless steel kit. I don't hike and so don't worry obsessively about weight. My gear is carried in packs for short canoe portages or vehicle based trips with short walks usually. I will never get rid of my Trangia set though, and this video has inspired me to give it a dust off and another outing! I love your films. Keep on keeping on. Also, once in a while, I personally, would love you to do another combined flying film with a trip somewhere? Maybe another one with Simon...?
Happy Camping and safe flying!
Thank you!
Yeah, it was the chair.............right.
Did you tea leaf Simon a Bloke in the Woods fishing bivvy table there Richard???
I had the non-stick trangia 27 but after about a year I finished up with the 25 set in hard anodized as I found it better for the clean up. Didn't fancy the plain aluminium version because one cleaning is a pain and also leeching.
Nice video Richard, I enjoy Indian food too. Have you encountered the Bohemian Rhapsody curry song?
Not yet!
Think a spoon with a bigger bowl would have given you more control over the shape of your Bhakti Richard.
Unfortunately the Fire Trough, the most versatile stove, is sold out…
Sadly, yes.
