    I really enjoy my Mini and other Trangia cook kits that I have. One thing to be aware of with the Mini is that, if you set it up in the wind, once it heats up it will turn into an absolute blow torch. IMHO, it becomes quite dangerous to use. The increased oxygen to the alcohol burner and the increased air movement from wind generate high, very hot and unpredictable flames. I experienced this when I first got my Mini when the tip of my thumb caught a very quick sideways blast of flame from the burner resulting in a third degree burn. It didn't take more than a fraction of a second. If this blow torch phenomena happens while the stove is sitting on top of an old, dry, weathered picnic table, you may have a bonfire on your hands. Nowadays, I'm careful to set up my Mini only where the breeze is mild, and I further keep things under control and improve the cooking speed with a thin, lightweight aluminum windscreen. Oh, and a big thumbs up on the poached egg technique with the Mini pan. I'm gonna give that a try.

      Have you looked at some of the mods for the spirit burner with bronze wool, carbon felt, and a little steel screening? I've made mine basically spill proof, and it burns with a lovely, steady blue flame now. Might slow it's actual boil 500 mil time, but for me, it's much more stable and reliable now. Plus it makes actually simmering totally possible. I'm in love with this mini-kit : )

    • @OffTheBeatenPot

      @scottyplug I have played around with the felt inside.
      I found it to work really well. I always wonder though, if it was right why don’t Trangia do it?

    I bought one, partly as a result of watching this video (and several others). I have had a Trangia 27 for decades and was recently given another. I received the Mini Trangia this week and tried it out on the patio just to boil some water and get a feel for it. It was a blustery night, but hardly a storm, and the flames were spectacular to the point of dangerous. I then tried it in the garage, where there is a draught but no wind. It was much more controlled but the flames still licked up the side of the pan. For completeness, I then tried with the simmer ring in the fully open position. (This is how simmer rings were on the much earlier burners, without the sliding disc.) The flame was much more stable. I then tried it outside again in the wind with the simmer ring. The flame with wind + simmer ring was comparable to the flame with no wind and no simmer ring. Note that the windshield gets very hot. Certainly the T27 is a safer unit more stable on an uneven surface, and with a safer burn in windy conditions. It seems most people who use the MIni use a separate wind shield, which negates some of the advantages of the Mini being light and compact. All that said, the Mini is cute and nicely designed, and I'm sure that with practice, I will get better at making it work.

    • @OffTheBeatenPot
      @OffTheBeatenPot  Год назад +1

      Firstly. Great to hear you tested it first. Imagine having that happen while on a moor or in a woodland.
      I have not found a way to use this stove without a separate wind shield or a very big rock to cook near. Same with my triangle.
      You’re right. It is a cute stove, but when it can be controlled it’s incredibly effective for its size.
      I look forward to hearing what you cook with it!

    Meant to say also about the mini - a simple but fantastic piece of kit often overlooked these days. Ive had mine for 12 years and the fry pan is losing its non stick coating. Ive always thought if Trangia brought out a titanium version it would be a hit as ive stop using mine as I am bit suspect about using aluminium to boil water for drinking.

      Mark Tomlinson yeah. It’s a wonderful bit of kit. It strips it right back. Man have fire and pot to put food in.
      I am in the process of making my own version. When I get it right I’ll share it on here. It’ll be made of steel.
      Not the lightest but for a better heat transfer I’m not bothered by a few grams. Thanks so much for watching and taking time to comment.

    Great video Thom. Who doesn't love a fry up? The mini Trangia looks like a decent bit of kit. Do you think that wind shield would be good enough up on a tor or would you recommend using something else?

    • @OffTheBeatenPot
      @OffTheBeatenPot  6 лет назад

      Summit Or Nothing great question. A complete oversight for me not mentioning it! The wind shield isn’t up to much. I would recommend getting a separate shield. This would definitely increase fuel efficiency in higher winds.
      I have a vango one, which is good unless you’re on anything other than soft ground. In which case it’s a sack of c***s

      Because the wind makes the hinges fold in on themselves unless you can dig it into some earth. I’ve been scouring for a better option. I think I might’ve found something. Waiting for it to arrive! Hopefully it’ll arrive before my Dartmoor mission with the old man at the end of the month.

      A piece of tinfoil from a baking dish works well I my experience. Cut it long enough to wrap around the Trangia excuse for a windshield with about an inch to spare all around and wide enough to just clear the base of the pot/pan. You'll need a few holes poked in the base to help with airflow or the burner may be able to work at its best.

    @erkkikarvinen1783 2 месяца назад

    The biggest mistake is to put the frying pan on an almost unstable fire. The frying pan must be moved in the glow of the fire so that the heat is evenly transferred to the product being fried. Like a campfire that doesn't get scorching point heat. You have to keep your eye on the temperature of the fat and the progress of the frying, not on the pan in place. Boiling water is a different matter.
