I'll start adding details on my kit to the video descriptions in the future. In the meantime the windshield is by Vargo and is perfect for the Trangia Mini.
Well that saved me the question on the windshield, thanks. I found your channel yesterday and watched a couple of episodes. I love my mini trangia, when I travel I take it with me for cooking meals. Its versatile and sometimes I take a stainless steel bowl which also fits around the outside perfectly. It gives an extra cooking option. Just subbed.
The only thing I would do different is pour some of the Guinness in the pan you fried the meat in, to deglaze the frying pan then pour it into the stew pan
Good day to you! This is a senior rider on Honda from Japan. Enjoying camping and video editing . Your cooking video is so great !! Awesome! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend !!
You, sir, are an inspiration! What a delightful, refreshing alternative to the typical MRE (U.S. military "Meals Ready to Eat") that proliferate! Next, I reckon, you'll be doing a full turkey dinner! Love your enthusiasm! Count me as a new sub.
Brilliant comment! I appreciate it. I'm currently waiting till I can actually get out and overnight for some new cooks, but I have some ideas marinating so to speak!
Excellent recipe, I'll give it a try. If I'm only doing a day hike/bike tour/fishing trip or just an overnighter, I do all the prep at home first and put my ingredients in zip lock bags. Saves a lot of faff and weight on the trail. For example, with this recipe I'll have the chopped onion, mushroom, butter and oil in one bag (they can all cook at once), then the floured meat and pancetta in another. I'd do that all in the pot. Then the mash in the pan (with a raw egg stirred into it). Thanks for the video and the inspiration.
Hello from this side of the pond. Good to see you using the TRANGIA 28T. I seriously ❤️ my 28T. Over here, most people just boil water for dehydrated foods with the mini. Not me!👍. I bought it to "cook" the foods I like --- just in smaller portions. The extra ⏳ it takes is well worth it for the meal flavors you can whip up in it. I've even made deep fried chicken breasts (coated in cornflakes, milk, and flour) in my 28T. Also Stuffed Green Peppers In Tomato Sauce served with rice is another favorite. The Menu options are nearly endless if you are not in a "boil and eat" hurry. Having the little kettle addition is great for fresh ground pour over coffee, hot chocolate, or a tea ball of fresh tea. Btw, there is a tiny 5"x 5" Bushcraft grill that fits well over top of the 28T. I use it for more pot size options like camp cups, etc.👏🙌 In short...I ❤️ ❤️❤️ it.
You did well there Luke, fair play pal. Good looking food, cooked as well as anyone could on a Trangia cook set. I’d be very pleased to have that Stew for my dipper. Thank you for the vid.
Excellent recipe! Proper cooking is half the pleasure of camping IMHO. One way to stretch your fuel might be to give it a while in a pot cosy? Or simply wrap the pot in a blanket, sleeping bag or even a wooly hat. I've even done oxtail stew that way (which ideally needs a four hour simmer...) Thanks for great content.
At last a good camp cook! I've seen vids where someone just threw in far too much in which there were meat and veg in overlarge bits, no decent prep or pre-cooking which meant that it was a two-hour wait for the second class meal! You have brought some real sense to the process. Loads of good tips. If folk follow your way, they will have feast.. Cracking video, Luke. Perhaps worth mentioning that to cook a stew in camp on a Trangia you do need two burners to keep the flame going. Refilling a hot one is a no-no and can end in tears!.
Good lord I can almost smell that! I've got a mini and it's rapidly replacing my 27 for solo stuff (which is the majority of what I do). I've just cooked tortellini and bacon on it. I've just bought the Vargo mini windshield after watching your video and seeing how it stows away inside the mini, chatting with @Mattias Eriksson Braap&Camp and watching Paleo Hiker MD's video showing the impact of using a windshield with an alcohol stove. In terms of fuels, I've been using La Hacienda bioethanol in mine for about year, and the usual purple metho when I run out. The La Hacienda stuff is sold by B&Q in the UK but must be available elsewhere. They sell it for use in patio/garden heaters. Fabulous video.
I can imagine the tasty smell of this stew Luke! Me and missus did something similar in our 27 with 2,5 litre billy pot and it was awesome. I really love the mini as well, fits in a pocket and cooks for two if needed. The mini is my favorite for solo bike trips. Happy trails and bon apetite!
Can't beat a stew. I'll be making this a lot on winter trips. I am familiar with your videos also. Watched them a lot for trangia comparisons and cooking. Great videos!
I just tried it. I did it exactly as you said to. I even used my Trangia, even though I did it at home. (I wanted to play with my new Trangia). It turned out great! I really liked it, and I usually don't like stews. I ate it all in one serving. Next time I'll make a scaled up version so I can enjoy some leftovers. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I didn't know what kind of spices you meant when you said "seasoned flour". So I just used some seasoning mix that I had laying around in my cabinets that seemed like it would be good. Luckily it was.
Knock knock. Who's there? Irish stew. Irish stew who? Irish stew in the name of the law! Great video; thanks. :-) (I am thinking of buying a trangia stove at the moment for bike touring. Current favourite is Trangia 27)
Mate...I loved that video. Felt like ya learned as much doing it as i did watching. Making me hungry. Spoonful of wholegrain mustard would o made that mash...maybe even an egg!
ive watched hundreds of bushcraft cookin vids and this one was right up there, really good!!! also liked watchin you enjoy your meal, i hate watch someone cook and hear them say, iam gonna eat this, clean up, ill see you then.
Another delicious recipe from Luke. Thank you for the video. I would like to know what do you burn as a fuel. If I burn denaturated alcohol, the Trangia burner burns so powerful that you risk to burn whatever on the pot or pan. Therefore I always need to use the simmer ring. However, you burn "something" that burns very clean with gentle flame power that doesn't turn your into charcoal :). Do you add some water in it?
Chef Ptomaine approves! I'd substitute a large dollop of sour cream in place of the cream, dehydrated chives and a touch of garlic though in the mashed potatoes. One always needs to save room for dessert! I think I'll add this to my one-pot suppers on my 27. Well done!
The 'low heat' fuel that you are using has it's advantages for long slow cooking .. eggs and such too. Likewise Meths, the Alcohol Fuel (Brennsprit) that we get here in Switzerland burns like an Inferno .. even with the Simmer Ring. When I need a lower temperature heat source, I use 'Sicherheitsbrennpaste' (Gel Fuel). I've always loved Smash .. but then I survived Boarding School Cuisine and thus am able and willing to eat almost anything without blinking. Looks good 👍 .. must give it a try .. thanks 😊.
Just a little twist, the standard pot gripper fits into the mini. I also take a triangle to use alongside, a useful extra burner that packs down very neatly. Great video!
Should check out seasoning the pot. I did with mine an it works wonders without barely anything sticking. Used regular veg cooking oil. An home oven on broil to get it hot as it could go. And the stove top burner on high. Stuck it in the oven a little, pulled it out to the stove top, than wiped it down with napkin with oil. Heated the bottom of the pot an leaned it around on the sides on the burner. Than wiped it an into the oven on broil 5-10 minutes. Than back out same thing on the stove top on high again. Than back in the oven. After 6-8 times. It has a golden honey color of the oil baked onto it. Most of everything I’ve cooked in it since, with a touch of oil/butter as you would with a nonstick. Just about nothing sticks. An anything hearty to soups. No bad flavor from the oil baked on an it isn’t slowly coming off into each dish any that I can see.
Hello! You make amazing food, it takes skill to be able to cook food like that with limited space, limited pots and one stove. I'm curious about the little orange plastic thing you used to scrape the pot at the end, what's that?
Thanks mate. The pot scraper is a GSI Compact Scraper. Careful, the orange plastic bit comes sharp as a razor! Not good if you put it in your mouth to eat the loose bits in the pan. I dulled it with my knife.
Got to try this. It's interesting to see what's possible with the limitations of the mini. Had mine for about a week and it's really fun to use. What windshield do you use? It has a really nice fit inside the pot, and the height is just about right for the mini.
Hi ! Your Stew Seems Very Good ! Delicious 🤪🤪🤪 Me Too i Want ! 🤩 ..I Find Your TRANGIA is Too Little ! ..But It's Work Well ! .. So ENJOY Your Meals With IT ! .Me. I Want To Buy the TRANGIA 25 anosided ! ... & I Want also the Omnia Oven ! ..Thanks For Tous Vidéo.! It's the Second i Watch ! 👍 That Was Interested ! From Downtown Montreal ⚜️🇨🇦👋👋🤗 🤩🥰💞💞💞
Where did you get your windbreak from Luke ? Been looking for one for a while to use with my Trangia mini but like how your one seems compact enough to pack inside.
Mate! Looks killer and well done for getting all that cooked on a Trangia mini. For Irish stew, try adding some thyme and carrots. The carrots are sweet and balance the bitterness of the Guinness. Thyme is what make it though. Regardless, your stew was stunning
Thanks mate. It was one of those "where has this been all of my life" moments with the stew, regardless of the Trangia element. I'm looking forward to trying an Ale stew soon.
Great video. There’s not been any methylated spirits (=alcohol denatured with methanol) legally sold in the EU sine 2015- it’s because the rules changed so that rather than being made poisonous, the ethanol was sold with chemicals that made it so biter that it is undrinkable. Wikipedia has the full story about this. I wonder if the difference in performance in the video was because the original fuel was older and had absorbed some atmospheric water?
instant mashed potato has improved greatly on both sides of the pond, i too remember bad instant potatoes from my childhood... terrible stale flavor, a gloppy/gooey texture like wallpaper paste and no amount of butter or cream would fix it. i don't know about the uk but here in the states we can also get packets of pre-flavored potatoes that just require boiling water and taste great without having to add anything extra.
I'm in the sticks in Spain mate but am actually heading to the big smoke tomorrow so will look for those potatoes. Instant mash was the worst mate. I couldn't believe how much better this was.
yeah i like the trangia but you are cooking every time on the last bit of fuel......and now in winter at the river the power got much worse....ordered in addition a US gasoline cooker that helps the trangia and with both you are perfect equipped...but a longer trip only on trangia....well....disscusable...very good video!!!
A small tip.....add a level teaspoon of marmite to the stew for an extra rich flavour. Don't over do it though. Too much and it will be bitter tasting and spoil it. Irrespective of whether or not you like marmite in general, it makes an excellent stock in stews 😋😋
Quick question. If the Trangia cooking system uses pot, pans and kettles made from Aluminium then you are poisoning yourself with aluminium oxide. Even the non stick surface coating (Teflon) on the upmarket Trangia cookware is cancer causing, so are you aware of this?. Chiefs etc are not permitted to cook with Aluminium, copper or Teflon coating. Only Stainless steel, cast-iron or pure ceramic cookware can be used. My Trangia gear has been thrown out other than the burner and now I use the MSR stainless cooking gear. Love your videos
Aluminium only causes harm if lots leaches into the food. The food needs to be acidic, the pot pitted, and the person eating out of it lots to consume several grams of aluminium. Not worried. My dads used his for decades and he's 66 years old without health issues. So I guess I have actual evidence it's not an issue while you have 2nd hand reports on Google. Teflon, there is no proof that modern Teflon causes cancer, so again not worried. I tend not to let these things bother me too much. Go down that rabbit hole and I wouldn't be using my phone, touching my ipad, or getting my covid vaccine.
@annbretagne2108 If I make a stew with stock only, then I add more ingredients, but with a Guinness or Ale stew it just waters down and weakens the flavour for me. It will still taste very nice, but I prefer to maintain the strength of flavour with this one.
it's normal for the fuel to boil in a trangia burner during extended cooking sessions. if all you ever do is boil water with a trangia you'll probably never see it happen.
@@marzsit9833 Purchased my first trangia stove in 1979 and I'm still using it. I have cooked more meals than I can remember and never had the meths boil.
I'll start adding details on my kit to the video descriptions in the future. In the meantime the windshield is by Vargo and is perfect for the Trangia Mini.

Just a thought ... lots of through hikers swear by adding extra milk powder to dehydrated mash ... don't know how much but could be worth a go !!!
Where did you purchase the blue folding windscreen? Thanks.
Nice little stew. Nothing on a trangia can be cooked quickly besides its an ideal cooker for slow cooking.
At the 19 minute mark i had to watch again. If you know you know...

Hi Luke what fuel do you use in your trangia
Yep-one for my list!
Awesome video! I've just ordered one myself. What is that mini windshield you are using? I only seem to to find full size ones.
Have a good day!
Hello mate. It's a Vargo windshield.
@@ReluctantRider Awesome, thanks for the help!!
If you use denatured alcohol you will have more control of your flame when you put the simmer ring on the trangia.
Another good tip. Thanks buddy
@@ReluctantRider You are very welcome! :)
Just one word for this - Slurp! 😄👍

Hello! You make amazing food, it takes skill to be able to cook food like that with limited space, limited pots and one stove.
I'm curious about the little orange plastic thing you used to scrape the pot at the end, what's that?
Thanks mate. The pot scraper is a GSI Compact Scraper. Careful, the orange plastic bit comes sharp as a razor! Not good if you put it in your mouth to eat the loose bits in the pan. I dulled it with my knife.
Got to try this. It's interesting to see what's possible with the limitations of the mini. Had mine for about a week and it's really fun to use.
What windshield do you use? It has a really nice fit inside the pot, and the height is just about right for the mini.
Thanks man. The windshield is by Vargo. Perfect size but needs stones and bits to hold it in place. Probably better on the dirt though.

Its not that clear what it is in spain. Single or double will be fine I'm sure.

How much Guinness do tou use in a stew? Half a can or all od it? ❤
@@amonster8mymother depends on the size of the stew. I reckon enough to cover all the ingredients plus 1cm or so for reducing the gravy a bit.

Not long mate. Got a camp dog in training now, then I can concentrate on making some camping and cooking vids.
only thing i could add would be a second stove going to shorten the time of cooking
Alcohol stoves has some tricks they can burn really faster..

Why not throw in some carrots, cabbage etc to boost vitamins and taste?
