Ep. 18 - DO YOU NEED A GALLEY BOX? Origo vs Trangia vs Can vs Kovea vs Heat Pal vs Iwatani

This is the evolution of our Galley Box from a big heavy single unit to a double storey modular system.
We have collected a few different stoves along the way and thought it might be fun to see how they compare with each other.
Test conditions:
Outside temperature: 14’C
Water was from an outside tap and measured at 12’C.
Liquid fuel stoves were allowed to heat up to maximum operating temperature.
The same pot was used for all stoves and left to cool after each test.
There was minimal wind during testing.
All stoves were at maximum output.

enjoyed your mimicking the style of younger channels in this episode :) nice sense of humour. chapeau!

[@neilhenderson5782]

Very useful comparison of the stoves - thanks.

[@TassieTiki]

Great video. Thank you. For anyone interested, CleanCook, a Scandinavian charity, now own the Origo tooling and are producing the stoves again under their name.

You have nothing without gimbals, it’s all between the floor boards!
The trangia is my long held favourite. It’s a comprehensive package and inside the kettle you can put the burner, matches, t spoon, salt +pepper, t bags, sugar and cup a soups. With knife fork +spoon on top before the final cover (pot). But human nature tells us we must complicate our lives, but we always look back at our simple past with ever growing joy. Cheers!

Love my Trangia. And Im awaiting delivery of my German made HPV Mambo - the replacement for the discontinued and sorely missed Maxie metho stove..:-) Another informative video Jo and Matt, thanks..

What a great quote! … “Progress is man’s ability to complicate simplicity”. All too often true.

[@matthewc4590]

Says the guy with 5 different types of stove. None of them wood fueled.

I have one of the last Origo 1500s. Great stove! I would not go camp cruising without it! While I never timed how long it takes to boil water, good to see it does not take that much longer than the butane.

[@DWilks-fo1ze]

Short and sweet. Helpful. You can get a gas conversion kit from the Trangia which will make it heat faster.

[@Leighbuoy]

I have a $30 clone gas burner for my Trangia which gives me the ability for a fast boil when needs must and a more reliable simmer. I still use meths for its peace and quiet, like the smell too! The Trangia is the best windproof stove in my experience.

You're a wealth of knowledge Mat, a great little review which I will view again when the time comes for me to kit up, Thank's for sharing.

[@aaronsellers1372]

Beauty! Building our galley box in my head right now

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Yeah,keep it simple 🙂

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Lots of info! Thanks. Were you narrating? Voice sounds different.

[@kens2114]

Good stuff 👍

[@claverton]

I need/want a metho burner but can't find one with gimbals which I really need given the type of sailing I do ... very frustrating.

[@q.e.d.9112]

Well? Where’s the kitchen sink? 😉
