That is impressive, Donnieo65. I have my dad's old white gas Coleman stove that he used car camping back in the 50's & 60's. 5 years ago when it developed an issue, you could still get parts for it, and with a simple repair, it worked just fine. My buddy has an old original Svea 123 stove he still he uses for motorcycle touring. You can't fake quality and the classics are called that for a reason! Buying a Trangia 27 set for bicycle touring, and hopefully in 20 or 30 years, one of my grandnieces or grandnephews will still be using it, and calling it a classic.

@mrkraemer777224 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the revirew! The clones took slightly longer to reach the boil, but also lasted slightly longer. The first thought that brings up to me is that the Trangia is burning slightly more fuel for a hotter flame, but uses its fuel a little faster. Another thought would be that the clones might not have wicks at all, so the Trangia gets to a bloom and more effective temperature faster, but has a small amount of fuel left in the wick that it can't burn and so goes out a few seconds faster. In any case, these kinds of time differences aren't going to make or break a deal for me, but I certainly can't see spending more for the Esbit or Solostove than the Trangia. The Redcamp with its included pot stand is worth thinking about. And there are multiple other clone versions with differing accessories and prices that it's still a wide open playing field.

I have two Trangias, one of which I bought new in the 1980s, and one of which I was given second hand. The whole product is integrated: stand, burner, windshield, pans, lid, kettle, strap. I could buy a new burner, or lid, or simmer ring, or pan tomorrow. It's an excellent system. I know Trangia is a good product. I would rather pay a little bit more for the real thing than reward a company for copying. The copycat items are only a couple of steps away from counterfeit: they are Trangia clones with just enough deliberate differences not to be "called out" legally. The only difference that is a genuine innovation is the handle on the simmer ring.

Just got back from a camping trip. I used the Redcamp with a folding wind screen, and a covered pot. I boiled enough water for a cup of tea in about 5 minutes. I was surprised at how vigorously the water boiled. I have similar results with my Esbit alcohol stove. MSR pocket rocket is usually about 3 to 4 minutes. In especially cold weather, I use my 40-year-old Svea 123R. It takes longer, but that includes preheating to build pressure. Alcohol and butane stoves don't like cold weather, but I don't get much of that where I live. I can recommend all 3 types, depending on the season. Of course, the alcohol stoves are much lighter, so I use them in warm weather.

I have an ALOCS alcohol stove that appears to be another ESBIT like model. The ALOCS sells for around $15 with pot stand, but mine was around $12 a few years ago. The pot stand is similar to the Trangia Mini stand, but it's made of a different metal. I'd say it's a pretty comparable deal to the Redcamp Mini combo. The Redcamp pot stand is probably lighter since the pot stand has so many cutouts, but since the bottom of the ALOCS is enclosed, it could also be used for solid fuel tabs. There is another stove with what appears to be the same pot stand as the Redcamp for a few dollars less. It would be interesting to see if the boil time improved on one of these stoves if the holes were enlarged slightly.

Was wondering what the difference was between the Trangia and the Esbit. After two years of usage these ar my findings: Esbit just gave up performance, outer ring got loose and started leaking. Inside is a cotton cloth as in the Trangia. Burning of the Trangia is more equal. Thread is different so I had to look very closely not to mix up using both stoves. Simmer ring deployabillity: The Esbit option looks better, but I find it to long to handle. I use all the Firebox stoves myself. The 3" has little room for fidgeting. Cold weather option from Trangia is astonishing! What a power! Using a full surroundig wind screen improves the performance a lot btw! The only stove competing with the Trangia is my Toaks. Wonder of simplicity! My light weight option in the Firestove freestyle Ti triangle configuration. Who uses alcohol without the nasty bitrex? Found out I do lick my fingers while cooking. The bitrex destroys every tasty meal.....

A big concern when I’m buying a knock-off is if it’s gonna leak. I know some feel you shouldn’t store fuel in the stove, but I’ve done it for decades and don’t plan to stop. If you get one that leaks, the only cure is to solder seal it, and that’s a big messy job that requires ninja soldering skills. Btw, fyi, Firebox sells solder sealed Trangias for a very reasonable extra charge.

The performance difference may be the fuel and water amounts. You could get an accurate weigh scale pretty cheap, and weigh the fuel and water being used. Nice video.

You can do some fun math with these numbers. 1oz of methanol is 28.35g. The molar mass is 32.04g/mol. So, 1oz of methanol is .8848mol. The enthalpy of combustion of methanol is −715.0kJ/mol, so 1oz of methanol releases 632.6kJ of energy. If the Trangia burns for 557s, that's 1.14kJ/s. Over the 275s it takes to boil a cup of water, that's 314kJ One cup of water is 240ml, which weighs 240g. You're heating it from 67F to 212F, for a change of 145degrees F. Celcius degrees are 9/5ths the size of F degrees, so that's a change of 80.5C. Water has a specific heat of 4.186J/g. 240g requires 1005J to raise in temperature by 1C. 80.5C requires 80900J, or 80.9kJ. Finally, 80.9kJ required divided by the 314kJ consumed gives us a 25.8% efficiency for the Trangia stove.

I don't care very much about a few seconds more burning time. What I do care about is weight and simmering. All the knock-offs are lighter (not by much) than the original, but let's face it - nobody who cares about weight would drag around Trangia. Simmering - all the knock-offs come with a nice wire handle on the simmering cap, which makes enormous difference in use. I've spent really long time (months and months) cooking on a Trangia and that little piece of wire is what makes the whole difference - you can remove easily the cap, fine-tune the opening and put it back. That is also the one easy thing to improve on the Trangia burner, yet they stubbornly refuse to do that. That's why, although I also like the old brass look of the original, I buy the knock-offs.

I burned 2 and half 0z of spirits to boil 2 litres of water in a 11lb heavy stainless pot in over just 35 mins using the Civilian Trangia. Love that little burner.

You have missed out on one that should be included. The Swedish army one. Yes is a bit bigger. Can be picked up cheap. When filled will burn forever. My favourite does take a bit longer to plume in my experience. Found the cheap knockoffs to actually plume quicker though.

I have two trangia burners, one is older and I got it used but it has cracks around the thread and collar. Unsure why and it seems to be a problem with some. I doubt the copies will guarantee to not do that. I'll still buy trangia

Thanks Ernie! Question: Can you PLEASE let us know what you call / where to find that container you used to fill the burners?? I saw another KZbinr use that EXACT same container for dumping excess fuel out of the stove. He dumps the fuel with the burner upside down sitting perfectly on top of the lip of the container! Of course the container has a pour spout which easily doubles to put the fuel back into its original container! Smack! Hope you see this and can help us out… 😁😁. And thanks for all the great content. Hailing from across the pond over in the States!

One more clone for the pile Alocs for about 13.99 but pricing is not consistent look before you click. They have a larger look alike cook set with 2 pots and a fry pan Also on Amazon for about $55.00. It appears to have a wick.

Hi, this would be the channel to demonstrate a century plus old alcohol stove which was made in the USA 🇺🇸. The name Joseph Heinrichs springs to mind. There was a number of these sold by various department stores at the time and to find a working example can only be good for the channel.

I purchased a Trianga from Finland last week. It’s not brass. Bit disappointed it’s a lightweight metal. Flames like a furnace though.

So, not to be a troll, but you did say you were short on time but then ran the burner until flame out. With 1 cup or 2 cups the flame out would still be your longest time so doing 2 cups or 1 cup would not change your time investment. On the other hand, I always enjoy and learn something from your videos! Good job as always!

I would imagine the Alocs also came from the same factory. I love my Trangias although I opted for the Bulin burner less than 1/3rd the price.

I wish trangia would make a simmer ring with a handle. I have both a trangia and a copycat. I appreciate the heft and originality of the Trangia but that handle makes the simmer ring so much more useable for more complex cooking when you’re moving from full boil to simmer then back again. I could swap the simmer ring from one to the other but it doesn’t click into place like the original does.

Think it's related to the stoves? Does a handle fit inside the 27 with the handle folded out?

QUESTION: Does anyone know if these stoves can fit inside the medium Esbit solid fuel stove with windscreen? I essentially want to use the Esbit as a windscreen/potholder with a solid fuel backup capability. If it works, this would be the ultimate combination for me. This is because if needed, the Esbit can also function as a wood stove from what I have been seeing.

What about losing fuel over time when screw cap is on? Which is better?

How about a modded trangia with carbon fibre in the centre?
