Did I Find the BEST TRANGIA Pot Stand? (Surprising)

[@Jimmymag909]

firebox + trangia = awesomeness

[@mrkraemer77722]

Geez. Just checked the price and it's up to $79.50! I guess they're really impressed with their pot stand, but that's waaay too pricey for me. Thanks for taking the hit for us on this one, Ernie!

[@rodrigoroaduterte9415]

The Trangia Triangle is 29.62€ in their web shop now. They manufacture it again.

[@scottbutler1561]

Great video, this was my go-to backpacking setup for a year and a half until my Picogrill 85 arrived from Switzerland last week. Same weight and combo with the Trangia with the space of a full-sized Firebox, all for about the same price as a titanium Nano. This may not be the best pot stand for the Spirit due to the inability to apply the lid when lit, but it is the best overall backpacking combo for twig primary, alcohol backup or Trangia with the damper.

[@TimAZ]

I love your videos, you are a rebirth of Hiram's KZbins.

[@rickybritton7212]

Your exactly right again Ernie, the nano firebox, is definitely, better, Thank you for taking the time to keep showing the best products 👍 Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family

[@woodsbikes6130]

To concur with others, I agree that both the Firebox Nano and the 5" Firebox stoves are the best pot stands for the Trangia Spirit and Gas burners (as well as other the other available fuels). Personally, I love the versatility of the Firebox stoves. Steve and his people did a great job with designing them. Good video Ernie. Interesting info. Stay safe everyone. 😎😁

[@highdesertbiker]

Has no one here tried the Lixada titanium on Amazon for less than $18? I love mine and super light

[@s2perman]

I have 2 nano’s and several others. But I agree with you on a multi fuel usage- that nano is first in the list. Folds flat and you can alter and add sides to the nano for quicker cook times. The best.

[@gringo3009]

Firebox for the win!! Both sizes rock!

[@deador9192]

The original is called, Clikstand, and is made in Truckee, CA. Nowadays, it comes with a slot that allows the use of the remote gas burner.

[@clivenewton7609]

No Mate the original is called the Trangia Triangle 😂😂

[@jm-bv1wh]

I have the same triangular 3 piece Westwind stand as Elizabeth Thompson (below). It came with the Trangia burner - no extra cost. Very easy to use and works perfectly. I've been using the same stove and stand for over 25 years, and it works as well now as it did when new.

[@johnschmalbach8243]

The only thing that made me say "maybe later" to my Firebox Nano and Trangia burner set up is when I went for the Trail Designs Ti-Tri Sidewinder with the inferno insert running the Kojin as my spirit burner.

[@elizabeththompson4424]

I have the old Westwind Stand alcohol stove only, been happy with the triangular design & it was much cheaper but has been discontinued 😿

[@johnw2758]

Love my Triangle but mainly use it as a secondary burner (for the kettle), am doing the main cooking on the 25. The size when packed up of the Triangle is great though too.

[@aldcwatson]

Thanks for the heads up and review of this product. I've been using Trangia products for 40 years and they've always been pricy, but the build quality good and they function well. However, the Triangle's price is absurd!! One thing to note about the nano (I have a ss version) - it has four legs. Four is inherently unstable - you've probably noticed the rolled up napkin under many a restaurant table because of this. I think I would retire my nano in favour of the Esbit. I'm going to get one and give it a try. Cheers!

[@unclebrat]

Now the Esbit stand is more expensive than the Trangia stand!

[@genelucky4002]

Thanks Ernie for this video. I believe the Trangia factory has the Triangle as out of stock which accounts for its current high price on Amazon. I didn't realize the Esbit triangle fit the trangia burner perfectly. Thanks for telling me!

[@christoferjamesdechavez9510]

Do you have a review on the trangia westwind stand?

[@station_18327]

Hey, Ernie! Thank you for the things that you do for KZbin, and that you do for me. 'Cause at $77, I would never do this for me. It's nice to see these things, though. You have taught me a ton about what to look for and why to look for it. I appreciate it... all of it.

[@nickcasolino8903]

I used it the trangia Triangle. It warped. the Click stand is a better option. I agree with you about the Nano Firebox. The Solo Stove is also a good option.

[@perrytaylor6388]

Thank you for rightly calling out the ridiculous price.

[@Idahomountainwerks]

Have you tried the clikstand? Works with trangia, Esbit fuel and a gas burner?

[@marcusfridh8489]

you can use 3 two inch ironnails and spread it out inside the trangiaburner as a potstand.

[@nvalley]

I still love the Chinese alocs/redcamp/gohike/several other brands generic aluminum potstand for the trangia. Super light, super inexpensive, and has multiple positions for the stove based on pot size and desired distance from the burner to the pot. If you're someone like me who isn't going to use a wood stove to heat pots, then it's a great choice.

[@edone1231]

excellent product! I use mine for at least 8 years or so......

[@munchh2007]

Have you ever seen the army version of the trangia, its bigger and fits where the ring normaly goes in the triangle. If you like to carry a full burner. Have a look for it.

[@Gollammeister]

Is there a universal stand option

[@MrYoliss]

Great info Keep up the great work

[@TimAZ]

Excellent review.

[@AKRehmonen]

I sometimes use 8€ stainless steel vegetable steamer with Trangia burner.

[@armandobenavidez5682]

An alcohol stove alcohol bottle! Why didn't I think of looking that up! I've been using those small plastic bottle bags. Everclear starts to eat at it after a while.

[@LaurentGouzouAKALynx]

Fully agree with you about the Firebox nano option And I may add that the arms of its pot support allow you to use small to large pots what either the esbit And the Trangia ones do not.

[@herbsmith6871]

Firebox Nano, I have the SS and love it 🤠

[@ericrylands2860]

Thank you...love the honesty!

[@kokopelau6954]

I like the Zen Camp stand 3.55 oz. Use it with solid fuel, x boil types and Trangia for $20 or less.

[@crazysquirrel9425]

take the solid fuel plate and place it in the bottom for the triangia to sit on for winter time. Helps heating the alcohol by reducing the cold air flowing from the bottom. It can still get plenty of air from the sides for combustion.

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Great review, I agree with you, Firebox and Trangia are the way to go. Run out of alcohol? Use bio fuel. Want to grill a steak? Biofuel. Boiling water and everything else use either or. I have both Firebox the 5” and the Nano, also a Trangia, this combination is the best.👍🏻👍🏻

[@spectre9801]

I bought a wire hardware cloth stand from mini bull design works perfectly I think it was less then 10 dollars.

[@killertoxin1121]

I use a G2 SS Firebox love the combo

[@jamesbparkin740]

Have you come across the clikstand? It's hard to get in the UK, where I am but I've heard good things as it has a proper windshield option. I also seem to recall that it was what prompted the Trangia triangle (and, I guess the Esbit)

[@Thereal111t]

The clikstand with its windscreen is like a collapsible stormcooker functionally.

[@JMGeranimo]

Hiram Cooks favorite isn't made anymore I contacted the maker awhile back and he stopped production because of a very bad health issue. I'll have to check these out. Thank you.

[@woodsbikes6130]

[@Cpresoz]

That's ridiculous.

[@scuba5k]

They use to be $20 bucks. It’s all because it’s a discontinued product. Don’t spend the money.

[@timoleary5815]

The triangle is definitely the best choice for the Trangia IMO, especially using the GSI kettle. I like the nano, but you need the ti one to make it viable and that's expensive. The Trangia Triangle should be available for around 20 to 30 bucks now that production is back up with the new 2022 version. That's the reason they were expensive, they weren't in production. They are now, with a slightly modified centre ring and the stainless steel triangle side plates now have smoother edging, so no sharp corners. Price in UK is currently between £20 and £24.00 It's also brilliant with the Toaks siphon burner. Just use the Toaks 700ml 115m diameter titanium pot on the triangle with no centre ring, the siphon burner sits in the middle on the ground and you have a great kit that weighs only 176g (6.2 oz). Snuff the burner out with the bottom of the pot and you can pour your unused fuel back in your fuel bottle . . . it's great for a day hike brew kit.

[@jeepnicc]

Hi Ernie. Great video as always, thanks for sharing. This right here, is why china is becoming a financial GIANT! 77 bucks for the triangle? RIDICULOUS! I'll bet there's not five bucks worth of steel in it. I checked on that esbit ultralight that you mentioned, same thing. There was one on Amazon I think, for 68 bucks, (68 BUCKS!!) And some one on e bay wasting his listing fee, trying to get 216.00 dollars! No wonder china is taking over the market! There the only ones who know what something is worth!! Come on America!! GET IT TOGETHER!!

[@ManLand]

Hey I got a No.2 Pencil snubbed down and missing the eraser, that's light weight and is also compact for sale ...just $80.21 ...lol.

[@simonwoodward438]

Love mine, it doesn't look a lot for your money ( in the UK we get it much cheaper at under £30) but it's simplicity is its brilliance. I use mine with Trangia's own bio-ethanol fuel tray rather than the traditional spirit burner. This makes it more compact for bikepacking and means I can use solid ethanol blocks which easier to pack rather than a fuel bottle. I also have a Bushbox Pocket which I've used with a spirit burner as well as using it as a twig burner. Now I think about it I have far too many cookers 😂

[@ianbell5611]

Thanks Ernie👍

[@chiefkirk]

Ernie, As the coffee lover that you are, I'm sure you'll appreciate this. I was good with the video until you said the price. I spit some perfectly good coffee all over my lap. May I suggest that you take a look at the RedCamp Alcohol Stove. I own one and love it. It comes with a stove which is like the Trangia plus a pot stand for $13.99 on Amazon. If you don't like the stove, which I love, you can throw it away and use the stand and you are still cheaper than everything you mentioned. You will love it. God Bless

[@BingWatcher]

It's a a stove and I believe Ernie already did a review on it😁

[@masongates246]

I don't see the youtube video linked you mentioned at the start of the video. I have already seen it, but im sure others might need it. Great video btw.

[@gordondavies7773]

The US dealer is selling the Triangle at double the EU price. You can buy on line for €30 over here.

[@weseroutdoor]

Here in Europe the Trangia Triangle is much cheaper. The actual price in Germany is 29,90 Euro. I bought it years ago even cheaper in a special offer and like it very much. Thank you for your reviews.

[@ipedros7]

Wonder if you ever tried one of those lixada's stick burners, their very small one (10cmx9cm) seems pretty good and in a way similar to your firebox nano due to distance to pot, etc. Besides, its ultra cheap.

[@jeremycox8261]

Firebox titanium nano, toaks titanium siphon, toaks 750ml and 450ml titanium nesting cups, morakniv bushcraft survival knife and a small Nalgene bottle with alcohol nested inside the stove inside the toaks cups is the best dual fuel light weight combination I have found. Fast and easy.

[@victorvasquez2788]

Thx for the review great job! Love to watch all your stove reviews. On that note, I’ll stick to the firebox “ nano”. Take care bud..

[@zoookey1]

The retail price in Europe is 30€, I bought mine in the UK cheaper as it was discounted to around £23. If you look in the Trangia website they specifically do not sell the Trangia Triangle in the US and they will not ship to the US. I’m not sure but it seems like a legal issue. Perhaps because the Click-stand had a patent on the design or something. I’m pretty sure they made it first. I think this is the reason why the price is so high in the US.

[@thadeuisdeanlucas5491]

It can be use for 1 or 2 hrs cooking?

[@eddy4112]

Doc, I have sat here on Christmas morning looking at three of your videos discussing the "perfect Trangia stand". You keep coming back to the Nano, which I am sure is a fantastic product, but in every test it was outperformed by at least one product; in two of the videos that one product was produced by Trangia. A Trangia stove stand does not need to be multifunctional, and I believe your quest should compare apples to apples, so to speak. This is not to say that for you, the Nano fills every approach. I do not burn solid fuel, or wood; only Trangias. So the Trangia Triangle looks like it is the best small stand; plus you can still use the simmer ring. I appreciate your dedication and videos; so please do not construe this post to be a criticism.....just a grouchy old man who did not get any Trangia stand for Christmas !!! ;-)

[@highdesertbiker]

Have you tried the lixada mini titanium wood stove for the trangia? It's super cheap and works well and super super light. Easy to get together once you try once or twice

[@highdesertbiker]

Oh and it's 2.5 ounces , which is what about 5 less than the firebox titanium nano

[@rs4425]

Maybe I'm asking for too much, but is there NOT a simple stand to place over the Trangia that will safety support a standard GSI 18oz stainless cup?

[@Oldsparkey]

There are others out there. You can get a Clikstand in stainless for $31.95 , weight 3.3 ounces. Or move up to the Titanium for $68.95 and only 2.0 ounces. Myself I like the titanium Firebox nano GEN 2. By the way titanium cools to the touch a lot faster then stainless does.

[@martlinnas]

It fits swedish army alcohol burner. Use without the ring.

[@brndumsvandrehistorier3486]

About the pricing - Here in Denmark, where i live it's the exact opposit. The Trangia Triangle comes in at (converted to US dollars ) 29,88 and the Firebox Nano ti at 82,09. And i think that will be the same all over Europe. It has proberbly something to do with import/export taxes to and from the US and Europe. So would i buy the Firebox here in Denmark? No, it's way too expensive. I'll stick to my Bushcraft Essentials Ultralight that comes in at 70 grams, looks like the Trangia Triangle but is more versatile, as it also can be used as a wood burner and it cost 40 $ 😊 Maybe you should look at that brand. But all in all a good comparison video. Thank you for that 👍

Anyone know where to find this in stock and available for purchase?

[@hammockdweller]

Interesting, here in The Netherlands the Trangia Triangle is € 26 (including 21% tax) and the Esbit is a couple of € cheaper. The Firebox Titanium Nano on the other hand is € 82. I have a Trangia Triangle, the problem with it is that boiling water in a 300 or 400 ml pot doesn't work because the pot is to narrow. I have to use some tent pegs to support the pot.

[@SnowyAspenHills]

I would be interested to know who first designed the "Triangle" there are so many versions of this out there. Nano has the ultimate flexibility but if gas and alcohol are your main heat sources I don't think the Clickstand with its unique windshield can be beaten, in real world use using the Evernew titanium burner with the wire adapter and the clickstand gives very good boil times.

[@tempchannel1747]

Westwind was the first Triangle stand for the Trangia burner. The Clikstand was the second triangle stand (2003). The Esbit and Trangia Triangle etc. are copies of the Clikstand.

[@stijndeklerk]

Why did you not include the "original" Clickstand?

[@juliangarner56]

Extraordinary! I bought the triangle for 24 euros here in Finland, wjete prices are gemerally sky high, so... Amazon ripped you off, pal.

I think the nano is the ultimate stove on several levels !!! Admittedly , not the lightest version ( in stainless ) , but You can opt for the titanium version . Where else can You find a stove so versatile , that can be carried in Your shirt pocket in a pinch ?

[@Thereal111t]

Yeah! I’ve often said you need to be a doctor to afforded the Trangia triangle! Lol. For the life of me I don’t understand why they sell it for so much. I wondered if they had an arrangement with the clikstand people. It seems like cheap triangles on the American market would undercut them significantly. Too bad there isn’t a stainless mojo... It’s a funny old hobby. ;)

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Thereal111t Lixada has a titanium one for $8, is round but works the same, add a couple of metal sticks to the top for small pots, specially at that price and works perfectly with Trangia, however like it was said here, The versatility matching Trangia and Firebox which ever size you have is incomparable. I’ll stick with them.

[@Thereal111t]

@@carmenmartinez2882 how does the simmer ring function with each of the different alternatives?

[@carmenmartinez2882]

@@Thereal111t It doesn’t fit snug around it, so you can use the simmering ring. It is a tad bigger than the circumference of a Stanley cooking system hence no problem with the simmering top, but you can use the Stanley by putting 2 small metal pieces on the ridges on top or one of those really small square grills that Amazon sells. Works great and I’ve used it in windy conditions.

[@arctodussimus6198]

The Esbit version is $69 now... Wow! I have one that was given to me, and really like it... But I would never spend $69 on something like that. I can make it myself for free from a piece of steel flashing. Decided to go ahead and get the Firebox Nano... it just looks too cool to pass up... and it seems more substantial for the price. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@pedroclaro7822]

I asked a local craftsman and he made me that pot stand and a proper alcohol stove for less than 30. (Though i supplied the design, template and measurements). I also ordered two sheet of titanium and had him copy the swiss pico grill (which i has replaced everything - it's both a windshield and a wood stove)

[@pedroclaro7822]

Forgot to say he made me custom tarp pegs which i use for the stove configuration as well, saving a lot of weight

[@jasonwoods305]

Firebox nano with a diy spyguyver stove is hard to beat in my opinion. Same versatility but the boil times and weight much less than the trangia.

[@guzelmarmara]

Except the stove itself, everything sold by Trangia is ridiculously priced and also the products meant to replace Trangia ecosystem are too. I used a Savotta Happy Stove and nest my Trangia stove inside it, works like a charm. Problem with the design of most Trangia pot stands is they don't allow us to put small cup size pots and Stanleys because of the width of diameter. Happy Stove is the one and only cure for this and also a backup as a wood stove in case I run out of alcohol.
