Trangia Spirit burner for storm cooker

First, This is a great sturdy burner, it does what it's intended to do and does it well... now on to the important. While this is cheap and does a good job it's a burner and not a stove and does weigh a bit. For those that don't know the difference between the two... a stove can not be used aloe, it need something above to to but a pot or cup. That's one.... now it's beefy, so if you Chou the weight it is a bit heavy... that's two... it costs a bit, compared to a great alternative...that's three. Now the answer. I use many, many stoves, I do like this one. But,,, there is one you can make that's better and almost free. Commonly called the "fancy feast" stove. This a stove, you can just set your pot or cup on top. It's extremely light, easy to make and extremely cheap, and it's a stove not a burner. . I highly suggest you do a google and YouTube search on how to build one... it's not fancy ... buts it's the most functional alcohol stove I have seen. You need fancy feast cat food can, tomato paste can, carbon felt (found at Amazon of Home Depot). That's it. In the mean time get this one. If your like me though you will find yourself leaving this home and using the fancy feast one more and more. This also fits perfectly in the Toaks 450 or 350 ml cup.

This little thing works like a charm. For $14, you get a literally idiot proof alcohol burner that I find perfect for most canteen cooking systems (except the BCB Crusader system, although simplr modifications to the cooking base can make it fit). When I first got the thing, I peeled it out of the bag and read what little English was on the bag, as well as the English warning label on the lid. Basically, it's just reminders to be careful with flammable liquids, only use alcohol, and read the instructions. However, no instructions came with the unit. Not a problem, as it's pretty self explanatory: fill middle resovoir with alcohol, light alcohol in resovoir, burner burns. I filled mine 3/4 of an inch up, maybe a wee bit more. Before I lit the thing, I put the o-ring cap on and shook it around to check for leaks. I found none. Using a firesteel, and with one strike, I got the burner lit. Now, what I've gathered is the thing gets really hot and cooking when the small little holes at the top of the threads turn into little jets, which make it look like a gas stovetop. That took about a minute and a half at room temperature in my kitchen. I started my timer once the jets kicked on. 27 minutes of hot, jetlike flame. The burner trickled for a minute before finally burning out, but I didn't count that as useable fire. So, within two minutes of owning this thing, I had it lit and burning. And with no instructions. I am no genius by any means, so that's got to show how idiot proof the thing is. As a boil test, using my pathfinder canteen cookset, I was able to boil 500ml of water in roughly 7 minutes. Not bad for a $14 burner, shipped free through bikeworldusa. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap, reliable heat source alternative to the clunky propane and white gas units. This thing works just fine, and gets even hotter than you'd think, and cooks very well. You can't go wrong with this little burner.

works great! actually burns for a fairly long time. I hadnt timed it but it is plenty long to bring to a boil 1 liter of water, which is 1 quart, which I believe is 4 cups. That is with the canister filled to the shoulders with denatured alcohol. if you are cooking a knors pack or a cup of rice with 2 cups water or similar, you would not need a full canister of fuel, maybe 1/2 or less. I actually wanted to test if it could boil 1.5 liters, so I filled my msr 1.6 liter seagul pot to within 1 inch or so if the rrim, and set it on a stand with the stove in the stand. It took a while but it did bring it to a boil, a soft boil with the lid off, but a rolling boil if I kept the lid on, so I would say that quantity or mass of water is about it;s limit for a boil. with 1 liter or less it is probably no problem having a stronger rolling boil. Anyways, if I needed to purify water, I would just use an open wood fire, but for a test it was pretty good. It still burned for maybe 5 or more minutes longer also. anyways, its a good item for simple heating and cooking a small meal with a no smoke no smell non fire method for backpacking type scenarios.

I would say the Swiss got it right. This was my first alcohol stove purchase so I read a lot of reviews of this product and a lot of others. Simple and easy to use, compact and well made. I’m glad I didn’t go with cheaper alternatives. I bought a couple of the Evernew Titanium Alcohol Stove Cross Stands to use with the stoves (I bought two) and they worked together flawlessly. I tried it out in my kitchen before my camping trip and it even held a large pot without any issues on a level surface. It boils a small pot of water in cold temperatures in about 8 to 10 minutes so it’s fast for a little alcohol stove. The flame will start out small and once it gets going, it really gets going! Some reviewers mentioned this product weighs a bit heavy for a back packing trip but I’m not a back packer so no problem. Also make sure to put the lead with a seal back on the stove only when the stove is completely cooled off or it will melt the seal. I read this comment on a review and it kept me from ruining the stove lid.

以前はエバニューを使用していたが火力調整や利便性を考えて変更。同社T3と同時購入し五徳は自作。大型クッカーから小型まで使えて燃料を本体にストックして携行できる点も高評価。蓋は自作取っ手を取り付けて更に便利良くなり手放せない存在

Gostei da espiriteira, porém a minha veio com as paredes internas meio que amassadas, colocadas fora de posição, mas deu pra acertar manualmente. É exatamente igual na foto, inclusive a coloração oxidada do cobre.

Petit réchaud parfait pour toutes les activités outdoor. Il ne pèse pas grand chose, on peut partir avec déjà rempli (perso je le range dans un petit sac étanche fermé au cas où). Il chauffe un quart rempli d'eau en une dizaine de minutes, mais pour se faire un café ou des nouilles, quelques minutes suffisent. Le réchaud ne fait presque pas de bruit, aucune fumée, ce qui est idéal en forêt ou sur un chemin de randonnée. Je l'allume au firesteel et il s'éteint facilement avec l'ajusteur de flamme. Seul bémol, mais de taille: ce réchaud ne peut pas s'utiliser seul ! Si on pose une tasse dessus, il s'éteint. Il faut absolument utiliser un support, comme un petit réchaud à bois, une boîte de conserve percée de trous ou qqch du genre pour le mettre dedans et permettre la combustion de l'alcool. J'utilise un petit support en forme de croix acheté sur Amazon également, qui ne pèse rien et qui est beaucoup moins encombrant et fastidieux à mettre en place qu'un réchaud à bois. Côté consommable, de l'alcool à brûler simple acheté en grande surface suffit amplement. Il faut juste faire attention de ne pas en mettre partout au moment du remplissage, car les bouteilles "de sécurité" les plus courantes rendent cette étape compliquée. Je pense à investir dans les bouteilles sécurisées de trangia à l'avenir.

Über diesen Kocher wurde schon alles gesagt, geschrieben und gefilmt. Ich bin froh, dass ich ihn mir kauft habe.

Original and the best. I have other alcohol stoves, including obvious knockoffs. I am a bit of a gear nut and like gadgets, so I have picked up a few stoves over time out of curiosity more than need. There are lighter alcohol stoves, which I have a couple, but this one consistently primes quickly and produces a nice usable flame, probably the best overall for cooking or boiling. I think if you are looking for ultralight options you are best going with a gas (butane/propane) stove, which means you should only be using alcohol if you are not too worried about a few extra grams/ounces anyway.
