Nice video! I'm thinking of getting a 27-8 to get something that will be functional both in winter, on longer overnight trips, and to be able to take the 'Mini' out of it for shorter/day trips. Good to see other's solutions and considerations. I'm hoping to get a lot of good hiking done, being able to cook on the go.

People have eaten a lot worse...thinking days old bushmeat, wonder how long that took to cook...

As a guy who had to carry a beer soaked towel through a hot south of France for multiple days until I could get it properly rinsed and dried out: bring cans, not bottles. Quicker to cool in a stream, has its own opener, will puncture and not explode, will leave no shards of glass on the trail.

Looks Great 👍 Was your stove the Optimus 8R or the Russian version,,,,?

Not a chance that the egg didn’t stick to the base of that new pan…..😂

awesome look at an awesome stove! I must disagree about the efficiency, however. I have a trangia 27, a svea 123r, and a svea 123. I love all of them, but white gas is simply more energy dense than meths/spirits/denatured alcohol. Usually on backpacking trips I like to cook lots of real food and have lots of hot drinks, and I need to lug considerably more fuel to do the same work with the trangia that I can do with the svea for less. That being said for trips where I'm solo or not having to purify water via pasteurization, the trangia is incredibly versatile and silent, as well as wind resistant. It's cool that you found out the same thing I did about the trangia fuel bottles being perfect for refilling this stove. Another thing that you might like: I used a small strip of carbon felt and a bread bag twist tie that I stripped the plastic off of in order to make a little wick that I snugged up around the stem of the stove in the preheat/priming well like a little scarf. It allows you to not only make less of an accidental mess, but also lets you load more fuel into and around the dish for a stronger and more focused prime that really gets the stove going stronger in below freezing temperatures when your stove and fuel are chilled out. The other thing I did was take a small 4x4 inch square of cardboard and same size square of reflectix sandwich them/encase them together using aluminum foil tape found at the hardware store. This gives you a stable flat base, increases cold weather performance, and keeps dirt and mud off the bottom of your stove. Combine those upgrades with a full height windscreen and a heat exchanger pot and you have a beastly little unit that can handle everything from melting snow to cooking up corned beef hash and eggs.

Good!

Over rated, I'm afraid...

fussing, but I route the chain through the hole in the wind screen. really fussing. cheers for the video😊

Try a little silicone egg poacher bowl ! That'll fit the pot like a charm

Hi,may I ask how tall are you?

The 123 will also burn pump gas Back in the day before inleaded gas became the norm , the Amoco stations were the only stations that had it So you'd take your 1 qt Sigg fuel bottle , give the attendant a quarter and tell him to fill it up

Nice! Thanks for rhe advice toda 👍🏻

Does that pot lock down when transporting ??

Im working with rob now

I use Titanium, and Aluminium and Trangia Duossal. Ti wins for boiling water as the hotspot burning isn't an issue. If you're using alcohol fuel the flame tends to meander more so you tend to want to use a wider pot to capture more of the flame. Wider Ti pots end up about the same weight as Alu pots, e.g. the Trangia mini's 0.8L pot is 90g vs a Ti 0.7L is 65g vs Ti 0.9L is 92g. If I'm doing real food I prefer Duossal as I can scrub clean without the black powder from Alu coming off and less hot-spot burning.

I love my titanium canister stove....It's ultralight (25 grams...28 with pouch) and compact. There are no pumps to break...only fold the arms down, turn the valve on and light it....It doesn't waste fuel like this svea does....Way, smaller and way lighter and I overfill my own canisters so there's a little extra fuel and pressure in each one.....And way cheaper too....I wouldn't waste my money on a Svea....

great vid my guy great job

I wonder if the Primus Lite is made by BRS as the BRS 61 is exactly the same stove.

......

Is it possible to BAKE BREAD on a TRANGIA MINI? Uh, ... no! So many things wrong about this. The mini would be better suited for making bannock bread or a flat bread.

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.

😢😢😢 Anevay is my name 😢😢😢

I used my Svea 123 (not the 123R with self cleaning jet) quite a bit back in the day (early 70s) and always wrapped a few strands of thin wire around the key for cleaning out the orifice because it would inevitably get plugged up with soot. It’s a beautiful stove and it just sits on a shelf as it is way too heavy, my basic gear weight is just 1/4 of what I use to carry and thank god because I’m not 20 anymore, cheers and good luck

Do you have an opinion on fire-maple stoves? Specifically eyeing the fms 125

Thank you. Interesting video..

Titanium frying pans are a waste of time. They are too thin, everything will burn. Use a Trangia frying pan, which has a non stick coating or a Fire Maple or Jet Boil frying pan. I've used all three & they have excellent frying capability.

I’ve had one since the late 70’s, excellent stove at high altitudes, low temperatures.

I bake sourdough bread and love it, but on camp I prefer baking it in a heavy Dutch oven. For the trangia bannock bread is the best. Much easier than yeasted bread on the stove.

Acidic foods will dissolve aluminum just as they dissolve iron in cast iron cookware. That is why aluminum food (and beverage) cans are lined.

Hi can you please tell me the height of the 3 screw in posts, I have a similar BRS kit but no support posts. Please ignor the threaded portion I am only concerned with the stand off dimension. As you say it makes the kit more versatile. Thank you if you do bother. But thanks anyway for sharing the experience. Best regards Colin

Aluminum is a neurotoxin. My brother in-law died of motorneurone disease - tested high for aluminum. Everyone should ditch their aluminum campware, and any pots, pans at home.

Absolutely brilliant! Made me mouth water. . .

Cheers Thom and Not Thom..... 👍

Not Thom! 😲

No, beetroot id disgusting.

This thing is so cool! Great replacement for my spork

Wow! Full roast dinner with gravy on a single burner alcohol stove! Genius! 👏

no one's pointed out it says lasgane not lasagne?!? i thought I was dyslexic lmao.

Did the egg stick to the bottom of the pot? I can see that happen when I give it a go. 😮

Wraps make for a quick thin crispy pizza too. A lid for a frypan like metal plate helps. Wraps travel well too. Thanks for sharing 👍

You're the only other person I know who season's their titanium cookware! I do it in a stove at first. Just like you'd do a cast iron pot. But I like your idea for keeping it seasoned while on trail.

Can’t wait to see you use it with one of your recipes. 👍

This man is a master of his craft!

Dude that wall full of Polaroids looks proper eco friendly

Right I've just found you today man. I've got an opinel slim/N°12f and a boker cuisine 3, you should look them up you might like them but to be fair the opinel is a filet knife

Will the micro pot nestle in the mini? (Without its handle or lid if need be). Seems like it would be a useful variation and fill an unused space. (Nice to be able to make brew or two and cook at approximately the same time without washing up).

What fuel did you use? Great idea.

Looks wonderful. Are you venturing out job wise? Apologies if I missed this.

Cool! Makes me very curious on the taste 👀🤌
