I have the Alocs CW-C05 Pro. Same as yours, but came with a tea kettle and the Alocs butane burner and the pans are laser engraved. I absolutely love it. It's a cracking kit and has made a lot of meals already. I had an issue with a Trangia that I ordered that they wouldn't warranty, so I ordered the Alocs and have been loving it since, and even ordered the Alocs CW-C01. Enjoy your setup!

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

That's absolutely superb to hear! Thanks for watching, commenting and more importantly for the positive feedback around the set my friend. It certainly appears to be a great little set from first impressions and I'm really looking forward to getting out on some adventures and using it 👍👍

[@chadtilghman255]

@@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors just cooked in mine again tonight! Felt like sitting outside with my daughter, enjoying the cool night around the fire pit, so we broke out the Alocs and cooked dinner. I hope you get as much joy out of your kit as I do. Cheers, mate!

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

@chadtilghman255 sounds like a great night mate! Enjoy and cheers 👍👍

thanks for taking the time to post this brother - i'm from the boro so enjoyed a proper north east review! I'm looking at trangia 27 at the mo on the internet but you've educated me here! cheers again

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

No worries my friend. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to leave such a positive comment 👍😁🙏💯

[@patriciaribaric3409]

I have several Trangia stove and cookware sets, and I also have several Alocs stove and cookware sets. I love them all.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Hi Patricia, thank you so very much for watching. I'm very happy to hear you like your stoves and I'm very grateful for your kind comment. Thank you 👍😁🙏💯

[@donanderson9872]

Excellent review man, thank you for your effort. I was really looking for an alternative to the Trangia setup.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Thank you very much. Massively appreciate your kind words 🙏

[@hypo345]

I have the Robens version of this, differences are the base to the lower windshield can be removed to facilitate using a stove of your choice. Pot stand has a variable hight adjustment and with my version the frying pan has unfortunately got a non stick coating. Robens don’t sell the Cookery King anymore but I think some people are still selling their old stock.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Thanks for commenting mate, that sounds like a great piece of kit! 👍👍

[@Fasstoutdoors]

We have carried this brand and are very happy with it.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Yes it appears to be a great item. Thank you for the comment 👍

[@botakk6943]

I have alocs cw-c05 just nice and TRANGIA 25 - 4UL TRANGIA micro Original my lovely toys..... Thanks bro your info nice video

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to leave such a great comment 👍 😁💯

[@mattmatty4670]

Cool thanks mate

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

More than welcome, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated 👍

[@thebackingpackinggeordie]

looks great mate

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Thanks Phil, yeah I love it and brilliant value. 👍👍💯

[@colintaylor5516]

Good bit of kit

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

It seems to be quality mate 👍 👌

[@BrokenBackMountains]

I think the Trangia burner is better than alocs but the alocs type simmer ring is easier to use. The Trangia pot gripper is better as well. Those pots arent graded like the Trangia ones which will either nest or stack. Stacking rhem lets you cook using both pots on one burner. I also prefer the Trangia system for holding the pots though the alocs will let you use different sized pots. Saying that.I have the trangia adapter for small pots If you register with Trangia you get access to their seconds. You can pick up a blemished Trangia 25 for the same price as the Alocs and faster delivery. Usually the blemish is a slight scuff or scratch. Robens did a similar set up which got good reviews. Discontinued now.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and leaving such a detailed comment. I have actually ordered a trangia 27 UL so I can compare the two personally. 👍

[@BrokenBackMountains]

@@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors I have the 27, triangle, mini and micro but mainly use the speedster alcohol stove. It is a kojin style burner. If you are going to use the alocs or trangia in the cold, get a preheater. Trangia do one but it is expensive. A tealight under the burner will heat the alcohol in the winter and vapourise it. Failing that, keep the burner close to your body. I've almost given up on gas. The canisters were hard to get after the pandemic and now they are very expensive compared to bio ethanol. I will use up the canisters I have and that will be it.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

@BrokenBackMountains great advice mate,thanks! I've just bought the trangia mini and looking forward to trying it out

[@mauriceupp9381]

Can you turn that pot stand over that you got the plot sitting on and get it closer to the fire

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Potentially mate I don't see why not. It's the same fitting at the end of the day 👍👍

[@The_Amazing_Funktopuss]

I will keep my trangia. But it looks like a good alternative if you are on a budget.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Yeah I'm aware trangia are fantastic but I will say this is absolute quality now I've had the chance to use it on a wildcamp in the snow. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 👍👍😁

[@The_Amazing_Funktopuss]

@@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors Question. Do you know if the Trangia gas burner will fit into that? I have a spare one and I was going to just get another T 25 set. But I am interested in this set now.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

@The_Amazing_Funktopuss I can't guarantee it mate.... BUT...... I've got a trangia burner myself and the one that comes with this appears identical

[@The_Amazing_Funktopuss]

@@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors cool

[@mauriceupp9381]

I think the alcohol stove will work better if you turn that pot stand over

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Really? Okay my friend, I'm new to these stoves and I'll give that a try. Thanks 👍

[@CraigLinton.]

I had my eye on this for a while as you know, but i think im gonna go with the robens version. Its around the same money if you shop around. Curious to see how you get on with it. Atb 👍

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Thanks for the comment Craig much appreciated. Yeah you've got to try these different bits of kit don't you, that's why it's such an expensive hobby!! 😂😂😂 let me know how you get on with the other version won't you please mate. Cheers Ray 👍

[@CraigLinton.]

@RSOutdoors_74 will do 👍🏻 I actually ordered the alocs set once before and it was meant to be coming from the Czech Republic. It never arrived 😂 had to fight for a refund lol.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

@CraigLinton1981 🤦‍♂️ more money!! 💰💰nightmare mate. At least you got your cash back in the end 👍

[@dougdottery1284]

It takes a little longer to boil water because of the size but that's okay. I really like it.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm glad you like the stove 👍👍

[@misolgit69]

I would think there must be a kettle in their range that will fit inside

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Hi, thanks very much for watching and commenting. Like the Trangia range there are different size versions of this cook set and you're entirely correct. There is another version which comes with a kettle. I didn't see the need as I'm happy to use the bowl as per this video but I know a lot of people might actually prefer to have a real kettle. ATB Ray 👍

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

If you look through the comments the newest one is about exactly this 👍

[@ashleyhoward8926]

9 days after posting this, the original trangia 27-1 is available for £54 in UK. The trangia pot lid can be used upside down as a frying pan & the original pot stands are integral, never to be lost. Looks nice though, I hope you have many years of pleasurable use from it. Thanks for postng.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Hi that sounds great! Where can you purchase the Trangia at that price? They were all £70 plus when I was looking at them? Thanks for the heads up 👍

[@lyndonwatkins1]

Shame no kettle may be an extra

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Yes, fully agree. I bought the alocs kettle separate mate. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, very much appreciated 👍💯

[@questions6746]

Only 6 minutes with the trangia because of how the trangia windshield hugs the sides of the pot.

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

I've never owned the trangia version but that's impressive for an alcohol stove. However I have seen videos of the trangia taking up to 10 minutes to boil but that was in an outdoor scenario. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@lenrice7482]

thanks for taking the time to post this brother - i'm from the boro so enjoyed a proper north east review! I'm looking at trangia 27 at the mo on the internet but you've educated me here! cheers again
