Thanks for watching

[@alanmacmillan6957]

nice work ; the modularity and inter compatibility of the pieces is one of the best features along with their stability. I had my 25 series down the beach today with sausage and bacon on baps; everyone round me was jealous I had a hot meal and coffee on a freezing , blustery day in Wales. awesome systems. enjoy.

[@dbv904]

Hey, I loved your review of the different systems! My family and I just survived being hit dead on by hurricane Ian - a Cat4 hurricane. It was an absolute nightmare. And on top of that my 10 year old daughter got hurt where her elbow got dislocated and her humerus fractured in 2 places. Surgery was required and she's fine now! But I just wanted to say that my Trangia cook systems proved to be indispensable to our post storm survival gear. I have both the 25 and the 27. I used the 27 all the time when I was a traveling nurse and on personal camping trips. The 25 is almost luxuriously large in it's capabilities for 1-2 people on the trail or in the bush. However, the 25 got used the most to feed my family after the hurricane. I also used it to heat water to be able to bathe my daughter as we were without electricity for quite a bit - 7 days. Anyway, the fuel was inexpensive and efficient. Being in Florida, we obviously don't face any complications related to elevation, but as we were experiencing almost total communication blackout for the majority of the time we were impacted, it was always on my mind to be judicious in the expenditure of our fuel. We used regular denatured alcohol - (I believe you guys refer to them as methylated spirits?) and it worked wonderfully. I have a number of different types of cooking/stove systems. And different designs lend themselves to different applications better than others. At the age of 53, I am well aware of the benefits of packing lighter. I have a lot of ultralight gear, but I'll never truly be a an "ultra lighter." I think that people have gotten so enamored of the mentality of packing ultralight that they lose sight of the fact that some people are not going backpacking on a generally well established and hospitable trail. It's easy to point out the Appalachian Trail as one of these, but I would be remiss if I did not also point out that there are significant sections that are quite arduous and nothing to be dismissed lightly. I would argue that the 25 and the 27 (I can only speak to these as these are what I have experience with) are reliable, efficient, and stable. Certainly one has to make adjustments with regard to conditions, but they provide you with a broad degree of flexibility and efficiency for a not really significant sacrifice with regard to weight (Ultralighters would wildly disagree - but only within the spectrum of their particular goals - and they would not be wrong). I'm on the lookout for a billy pot for my 27, and I'm considering upgrading my pots to either duossal or non-stick. I'm not sure which is better. If anyone has advice I'd love to hear it. Anyway, sorry for getting long-winded; but great review! And get a new bag for that 27 - it looks like its about to fall apart! LOL

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Fall apart? It’s got years left in it! 😂 Thanks for your comments and happy that you and your family have made it through the storm. We’re just coming into the start of our storm season. I agree that ultralight is great and has its place but I’d rather pack my 27 and have the ability to cook a full meal as well as a one pot meal. Duossal Vs Nonstick comes down to usage and dollars Nonstick is cheaper and easy to clean but you have to be careful and look after it so you don’t scratch the surface Duossal is expensive but way more rugged Both have there place depending on what your use case is. I ordered my Billy pots from the UK. Expensive postage but 100% worth getting the upgrade in both 27 and 25 Especially when cooking for a family

[@williamhecht984]

And you might consider HA (hard anadized) which cleans up well, though not exactly non-stick.

[@AdamKilpatrick]

@@williamhecht984 HA pots for the 27 is what I use in combination with a non stick pan, I still use the HA pan it come with with my cross stand and mini set up.

[@diverg3]

Good to hear you made it out Ok and how indispensable the Trangia kit was. I’m just about to get a set for my family and also for my mother. Primarily as a leisure/hiking kit to make small cookouts but secondly as an emergency backup kit. I’m Swedish too and incredibly proud of the company’s heritage and the fact it’s manufactured in Sweden and not in China. All the best

[@longrider42]

Bought my Trangia 25 back in the early 80's. I still have it but the burner has some clogged jets. I've tried to clean them out, and some have come back, but some I guess I reamed out a bit to big. Great video by the way. Oh there is a trivet/rack you can get to set inside your 25 or 27. That will allow you to use other pots and pans as well. I have one for my 25, works great.

[@johninman1354]

That's a sound little video... the thing I love about them is there simplicity.. being here in the UK we have more problems with the wind and rain and these things never let you down because there's nothing to go wrong... nice video mate you take care all the best from Liverpool....

Love my trangia use it for cooking in my truck at work for lunch or on motorcycle camping trips or out hiking in the mountains in scotland there just awesome bits of kit simple but just work. Good video 👍

[@gud2go50]

Great review Buddy! I have a 25 and I have not cooked on it much yet. I did not know they made a larger pot, but I will try and track one down now that you brought it to our attention! I bought the propane burner but found it isolated the heat too much in the middle of the fry pan, so I made up a cheesy heat defuser out of an old can lid. It is crude but it seams to help a bit. Thanks for sharing all your cook sets. It was fascinating!😊

Man what a wonderful video. Really enjoyed that. Never knew the billy pot worked on the stove in the fry pan position. Headed to the Trangia site now. Have a few of each model. Minus the 23

[@AdamKilpatrick]

It turns into a bit of a obsession when you start collecting them. But each on has its own perfect situation and use. I really do use them all the time and they seem to inspire people to try new things

[@AquaTech225]

@@AdamKilpatrick lol I somehow ended up with duplicates. 2 variants of the 27 and 1 of the 25. Than noticed each had the red pan/pot limited edition came out so ended up with them 3 28’s the triangle also. Just kinda happened. A few haven’t even came out the box. Just remember I picked up another 27. I believe it was the 35 or called something like that. But is the complete nonstick version. So the windscreen an all is coated with the nonstick surface. Least what I was told by them in email. But a really nice edition to the 25 I picked up is their new nonstick sauté pan. So it’s just like the pan it comes with but the wall of the pan has basically twice the height of the stock one it comes with.

[@AquaTech225]

@@AdamKilpatrick I do have a bunch of other stuff the military Trangia mess kit the American canteen kit the British canteen kit um firebox multiple models um the BioLite stoves bunch of minibull alcohol stoves an what not. But nothing compares to the Trangia 27/25. Matter fact I’ve already got the billypot an plate’s already in shipping to me after your video. So most haven’t seen any or much use. Really don’t even need to. The 27/25 I use most are like a workhorse. It just gets it done. Obsession or addiction. Definitely something like that. It’s rattled my wallet probably to many times

Been seriously looking at the 25 ul for an extended backpack solo mess kit. They make a multi fuel head for them also that takes gas cylinders, but also burns kero, petrol and camp fuel. It's expensive though, about $225. U.s.

[@debbrantstevens8826]

Does the trangia 27 frying pan fit inside the 25 as a saucepan lid? Does the trivet fit inside a 25 saucepan to make an oven? Does the trivet fit where a saucepan box fit on the 25, lowered pot holder supports? I'm thinking of making a toaster!

[@georgeskuse3076]

Hi, top video! I wonder, if you have the multi disc, can you throw away the plastic sheet that protects your frying pan?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

I know people who do that. I just like the extra protection. If you don’t like the idea of the plastic you can use a silicone cooking mat and cut it to size. I carry a silicone mat when I’m travelling just in case I’m using a public BBQ or if I don’t want to dirty a hot plate or pan.

[@cawoodsob]

Hi, is there a pan from the larger sets that the 28 mini will nestle into?

[@AdamKilpatrick]

I’ve never checked

[@cawoodsob]

@@AdamKilpatrick I was considering, it would be a great compact set, that with another bowl to keep food warm on top of a bottom bowl, while cooking / boiling rice or pasta would give similar versatility of the 27 set in a more compact, lightweight set-up...

[@michaelw2288]

Why is your 27 so black ? Mine burns clean. The only issue I've had was alcohol much too strong, from German hardware store. The burner boilled over and burnt/melted the metal of the ventellated shield. Luckily I was nowhere near my tent. Solved by adding a few drops of water to the burner. I always test new fuel with care.

[@AdamKilpatrick]

It’s black from impurities in the fuel that I’ve used in the past.

An inexpensive and lite weight option is to use some crumple up aluminum foil it you want to steam something.

[@Sirrehpotsirch]

You say that the Trangia alcohol burner works in sub zero conditions. Even Trangia doesn't make that claim. While you may be able to actually get it lit and burning, alcohol burners are not efficient in sub zero cold weather. In fact, Trangia makes a cold weather kit specifically for the alcohol burner as an attempt to overcome the disadvantages of using non-pressurized alcohol fuel. At any temperature, alcohol needs to be vaporized for it to catch alight. The cold weather kit has a small cup that attaches to the bottom of the burner in which is placed a small amount of alcohol or flammable gel. The burning material in the cup warms the alcohol in the burner to facilitate the needed vaporization. The kit also comes with a aluminum plate that fits on the bottom of the lower windscreen to you can set it in the snow without it sinking into the snowbank. Trying to cook a stew using the large billy pots that sit exposed on top of the upper windscreen using just an alcohol burner in sub zero windy conditions will use quite a bit of fuel - if it is even possible. Cold weather conditions are the reason for the pressure isobutane gas burner insert. Extremely cold and windy conditions call for a true cold weather system like the MSR Whisperlight - especially when you are melting snow for drinking and cooking water. The problem isn't the Trangia system per se. The problem is inherent in using alcohol in cold weather. Leaving the cold weather topic, there is a bit of kit that you could include with your Trangia Storm Systems, and that is a "heat defuser." Either the alcohol burner or the isobutane gas burner will cause a hot spot, especially when you are not cooking with liquid. The center of the fry pan gets extremely hot while the sides of the pan remain cool. Unless you keep a close eye on your pots, you will end up with burned dinner! Your first demonstration of a basic stove used cross pieces set directly on the stove. I set those same pieces on the stove in the storm cooker, and then lay a metal can lid on top before using my pots and pans. This provides plenty of room for air flow but prevents the direct flame on the bottom of the pans defusing the heat over a wider area. I use a soup can lid with five 1/4 inch holes drilled into it. Lastly, because the large billy pots sit on top of the upper wind screen, a secondary wind screen should be used in windy conditions. The brilliance of the Trangia 25 and 27 systems really comes from the integrated wind screens that provide a stable cooking base, and supply plenty of air flow to feed the burner while simultaneously providing protection from wind that robs heat that could be directed to cooking your food. This wastes fuel and lengthens cooking time. The large pots that sit on top of the upper wind screen are completely unprotected from the wind. Additionally, more heat is wasted because of the space between the bottom of the pot and the top of the lower windscreen. A large wind screen that folds flat yet that is tall enough to protect the upper pot would solve this problem. However, using a large pot on the small burner on the 25 unprotected by the wind truthfully exceeds the limits of this system. If Trangia was to do it correctly, they would make a storm wind screen that would enclose the large pot. The large pot sitting on top, unprotected by from the wind runs counter to their tried-and-true very successful storm system. Wind steals a great deal of heat.

[@AdamKilpatrick]

Thanks for your very detailed comment and thoughts. Yes you are correct that alcohol is not the best fuel for sub zero temperatures how ever you also crossed your own argument by acknowledging that TRANGIA actually make a cold weather kit that makes it possible to easily cook in sub zero conditions. Your second point has me thinking about adding a defuser to the kits permanently. I have used o piece of stainless steal mesh in the past for the same effect. Great idea and it would reduce soot when using mentholated spirits as fuel. Thirdly you are 100% right the Billy Pots are not the most efficient to use but they offer a great way to cook for a larger number of people at once. Sometimes using more fuel one time is better and more efficient than using less fuel multiple times. Cooking on top of the system really does push its limits but it is versatile enough for it to reliably work and that’s what attracts me to it. Thanks for watching the video and for your thoughts

However Aluminium cookware is considered safe and one of the most effective and I will continue to use both them and my titanium cutlery

You should have mounted the camera to a tripod. Watching a bouncy video is extremely annoying and spatially disconcerting. With a continually moving camera where does the viewer focus their attention? Quite similar to when someone becomes sea sick. Very interested in your video, however because the camera was constantly moving, I had to turn it off.
