Looking at finally getting a "civilian" Trangia after using the Swedish military one for a very long time, this was a great help. Agreed about the alcohol burner, I've had more than a few accidents with the alcohol burner. Thankfully none damaged life, limb, or valuable property. I didn't even know they had one with a gas burner until I got on the Trangia website. My hearing's a bit knackered anyway so the noise of a gas burner is more relaxing than the silent alcohol burner. Nice tip about the grease-proof paper. Nice tip about the titanium plates too. PS - if you look up Trangia's youtube channel, you'll see a video of a Trangia cooking class they did. They're all using the gas burner! What does that tell you?
Wow, very helpful. I car/tent camp but still try to streamline my Trangia 25 along with a Jetboil for quick meals and hot drinks. I took an idea from You Tube and bought a thin steel 6” metal plate to spread the heat more evenly while cooking. I got tired of burning food in the center of the pans with the propane stove. Seems to work a charm and fits nicely in the lid. It was only $3.00 on EBay, so I thought why not! I also use a cooling rack with small legs that lifts the fry pan high enough to not snuff out the flame above it. I keep my 25 in an old canvas Musette bag in order to keep all this kit together along with my spice kit and everything I need to cook up a meal for two. If I was on a motorcycle, I would probably set my kit up just like yours though!😂 thanks for sharing your thousands of years of wisdom with us! Sifu! 😅😊
@@gud2go50 that’s great love your inventions too , so adaptable, this is why I love Trangia , so many folks tweaks them to suit their needs , custom coolers !!! 1000 years is a long long time to be adapting … best wishes mate
Most enjoyable, informative and practical product review I’ve seen. Obviously built over years of experience. I’m nearly 62 and still love the idea of camping. Hope Meghan’s on the mend and back to full strength soon. Cheers Dave
Cheers so much , too kind . Meghan is doing fine and actually gone out tonight for the first time since operation.. Only to visit friends , but a first ! Best wishes
Great stoves I’ve been using mine for 43years. The only thing I disagree with is meths I only use meths. I do have to be gas burner bit only used it 2/3 times. I love the silence of meths I use a trangia nearly every day in some form or other.
Ah I never thought about the silence, that’s a good point . But then again , I’m A noisy bastard . Great to hear you been using them all that time . Freaks me out I’ve watched so many videos on Trangia and most peoples cookers look like that never been used .. they literally mint . My first one I used so much , the base literally melted , so would no longer hold that meths burner . I knew then it was time for a new one .
@@LeanIntoTheWind I agree my 1st one was dented crushed and bashed the pots had had it so I decided to buy 2 new ones both 27s a standard and a HA one. The one I use the most is the one I made up myself from trangia parts. A triangle a HA pot a kettle and a mini fry pan because I’m solo it’s perfect for me. Trangia are addictive and j want the red 25 and the multi fuel burner 😀. Anyways enjoy and safe journeys on your bike. I used to ride to miss it a lot 👍
@@woodnugget1301 Trangia are like motorcycles…. Gotta just make them yours .. build it to suit you and what you do . Thanks for kind words . Best wishes to you from us both
That was like watching Santa’s sack the Trangia just kept giving 😂 great video and set up I going to pinch this idea for my Trangia thank you for sharing
@@LeanIntoTheWind Just Ordered the All Black Hard Anodized Set with the Gas Burner. Gonna Look out for the Snow Peak Ti Stuff. Love it too. The Combo with the JETBoil is Superb. Wether for Camping or Music Festivals. So much more Options for Cooking. Thx for your Videos.
Wow new subscriber here , your video was on my recommended list and when I heard your age I knew I had to subscribe to try and learn your secret. Great review and well stocked kit, will check out more videos in days to come ....I really want to reach a million.... have a great week
I think every Trangia in the world has a tea towel inside. And a SnowPeak spork. 😁 My mate is getting his bike back on the road and we are going off wild camping later this summer.. not been for ten yeas, you know how it goes. Fatter, calmer, wiser, divorceder.. fuck it, get the bike out! EDIT: good to see the panscrub too!!!
It’s just the traditional black jet boil . I’ve had it 4/5 years so far . No problem at all . Are they supposed to break ? My brothers both had same one I got and they bought theirs few years before me , and both still good too .

I only do alcohol because I don’t want the added responsibility of having to dispose of gas canisters responsibly and all that headache
I might get the deep sautés pan at some point - but yeah - looks good!
That’s fantastic. First time I saw a trangia was on your channel … perfect piece of kit for the road. 👍
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching.. yeah I dunno if you can tell but I like them ! Haha

Another great video. Yet again, I watch it, think ooooh, thats a good idea, never thought of that and unashamedly copy!
Cheers fella ! Glad you took something away . That’s why it’s there . Obviously not for everyone, but all the little things to make travel easier .
Great setup. My Trangia kits first choice for motorcycle touring.
@@davidmiller6504 Cheers mate . Yeah same here , In the pannier most the time .
Years ago, we baked cupcakes in one.. fill the bottom of the pan with rocks and off you go.
Nice one. Self sufficient. 👍🏻

@@MrB1967 Most Trangia on RUclips are brand spanking new and never been used haha .. good to hear you getting back out !
Have a blast dude !!
You need to get some affiliate links, Bro. Trangia, Denali, Red Wing...
Good point . Thanks 🙏
What jet boil do you use mate and how long has it lasted so far
It’s just the traditional black jet boil . I’ve had it 4/5 years so far . No problem at all .
Are they supposed to break ?
My brothers both had same one I got and they bought theirs few years before me , and both still good too .
@@LeanIntoTheWind nice one mate I trusted your judgement on the redwing gloves and it paid off so I might just treat myself
Great video, nice setup ...what kind of fuel do you use for trangia..??
@@toddbelanger1923 thanks 🙏
I mostly use gas , but always pack the meth burner incase of emergency…
@@toddbelanger1923 I find gas much faster and a lot more control .. and less mess and smell .
@@LeanIntoTheWind wow no kidding, Gas, very interesting...I'm using 2 things right now, HEET the yellow bottle, and EVERCLEAR 190 proof alcohol
What size large pot it that, 1.5 or 1.75?
@@mrwes100 it’s the 1.75
jag har använt mitt i 45..50.

Have had my 27 meths trangia since 1980. Don’t agree with your meths comment though.
@@petermills1693 You ain’t gotta agree man , we all different, Trangia is great meths or gas . It’s a personal taste .
I am so pissed off about the stupid GoPro stuff... I stopped taking it along...
Mine all works great until it’s hot !
So in UK works well most the time haha
Great video, if i didn't already own a Trangia i would buy one after watching ur video, 👍🫕
@@markshawreflections850 hahaha !! That’s great
Good stuff Mark and very enjoyable to watch and listen and funny. Thank you for sharing.
Too kind !
Many thanks
