- The Trangia Micro Cook set comes in two different versions. It comes with a gel burner or an alcohol burner, with a handle and without. I will also do a very brief comparison to the Trangia Mini set.

Greetings from snowy Sweden, love the content! - thanks for the overview of the "Micro cook set" - it looks very interesting to me!
Most Swedes rock some sort of Trangia solution as well at least for the alcohol based solutions, so they're quite popular here as well, just like our Hilleberg tents.
I personally use a common trangia 27-35 UL/NS set for all of my more peaceful trips into the woods and when going fishing etc, usually for 1-3 day trips, it's a little less space-efficient but a very relaxing way to boil water and to cook with, however, when i go on longer week-long trails/trips, i usually bring my Jetboil Minimo as it saves space and is a very quick and reliable piece of quality kit.
As a whole, I like the alcohol based solutions more for the tranquil cooking it provides while i can't wait to turn of the Jetboil each time i use it because of the noise, but as mentioned above, both solutions has their secured place on my gear-shelf.
Have a great day!
Hilleberg tents and Trangia: Two of the very best for outdoor gear. I agree. I use the Trangia in a more relaxed setting when Im camping in a large tent and cooking a big meal. If Im hiking for a few days and carrying everything in my pack, I will go smaller/lighter and use a little gas stove. Thanks for watching, and commenting, its very much appreciated.
Hello from sunny wales
The Trangia mini for me, love frying up a cooked breakfast in it.
Sunny? Im jealous. Its mid-winter here and temps are down to 12 - 14 Deg C. A cooked brekkie is just the thing at this time of the year. Thanks for watching, it is appreciated.
Thanks for showing this, I just ordered 1 from Amazon.
Its a nice set. You wont regret the Trangia quality. Thanks for watching.
🔼 Compact, light, multi fuel.
Thanks for sharing.
I shall buy once they are available in UK.
They are very versatile and great value. They are available via the Trangia website, if that helps. Thanks for watching.
Ooooh ! Me likey. This is the first time I've seen these so thanks mate, when finances permit I think I might have to make an astute purchase but I am a bit of a fan of Trangia. And a bit of a kit tart. 😁
Thanks for doing the vid mate.
I do understand. Im a big Trangia fan and when something new comes out... Thanks for watching.
Personally I have the mini. I can do much more with it. The alcohol gel , hand sanitizer does work. As does emptying old chafing burner tins. Hexamine blocks broken up are also good.
On fuel economy, with a spirit burner. Adding up to 10% water will make the spirit go further, with little or no difference to the performance. Adding the water will also knock the sooting on the head. Making clean up a bit easier…..
I agree with you about the Mini. It's far more versatile. The Micro is good for a cuppa or to heat water for a dehydrated meal, but not for cooking. Especially when you have an appetite like mine. I dilute with water, too. It works great. Thanks for watching.
Great review. Thanks 😊
Thanks for stopping by and watching.
I have put a Wildo fold a cup inside my trangia micro, and it just fits and you can still get the lid on.
Your tip on having the handle up when using it is good, I melted mine somewhat!
I've only used mine for boiling water, making porridge/oatmeal, and for warming soup.
I like the cup idea, and I do have a Wildo, so I will try it. Good to know about the handle. Water and brekkie porridge is what I'll be using mine for, too. Thanks for watching.
EquipOutdoors has Trangia cookware. Last year I bought a couple of mess tins, burners, and triangle stand/windshields from them. The triangle stand folds flat and sits nicely inside the mess tin. Oh, and I got two fuel bottles - those things are never going to split, even if you drop them off a thirty metre cliff!
I love the quietness of alcohol stoves. The Trangia system is very well thought out. Back in the '80s I had a stormcooker 25 set. It was great! My ex ended up with it, though.
Hi, Yes I have purchased from them in the past. Their service is great. However, I found that they were limited in the range they carried. They were out of stock of the mini set and I asked when they would be getting more, the answer was 6 weeks to 4 months! Not their fault, I know. They order from the Aus distributor. I went direct and had it in 7 days. Thanks for watching.
Just got the micro t-cup. Already have the mini and the 27-2 set. Love the Trangia range.
Yep, so do I. They make great product. Thanks for watching.
I have a Trangia 25 HA and love it. Recently I added a Duossal outer 1 L 27 pot to nest inside, just to increase the set. Fits fine, but kills the space for a kettle. Since I have an off-brand kettle [but HA] it's no big deal. I also have the off-brand remote butane burner that works OK for the set, too.
Most of my adventures are not too far from my tailgate. 50 years ago I could sling a 70 lb Kelty with a Svea123 and BSA mess kit but not today.
I have a HA 1l pot that I use if I need an extra. I think my kettle gets the most work of all. I do love a cuppa! Doesnt matter how far, or how long, its getting out there that is the most important thing. Keep it up. Thanks for watching.
Very succinct. Nice one!
Thanks. Your channel was suggested to me only a few days ago. You do good stuff.
Very kind of you to say! You’ve a great channel. I should have been tidying but I’ve been flopping on the sofa with your channel.
Trangia for me too for so many reasons. Bought my original duossal 25 back in the mid 1990's and just about to order the mini and micro cup to couple with a Bushline Designs Titanium Windshield from Pack Gear Go in Nelson- they need a windshield and this combo works good. As well as direct from Trangia, Varuste in Finland is another good source price wise.
Im definitely a Trangia fan-boy. I just can't see better in terms of price v function. But, I am biased. I'll check out Pack Gear Go, sounds like some good stuff. Thanks for watching.
I certainly like the Trangia products. I think they're well thought out.
be a nice little light weight kit for you lol
@@LezleysAdventures it would be! I might have to add it to my slowly growing collection of cooking gear😁
@@agesadventures I like the pot with the locking handle lol I already have the mini, which I'm not that keen on
@@LezleysAdventures good to know your thoughts on the mini!
@@agesadventures I think its because it doesn't have a handle, not keen on pot grippers, I actually can't fide the set on the website, but I found the pot, I dont need the rest, just going to measure another pot i have to see if it will fit in it
When fitting both sets together put micro in but try the lid upside down. GREAT VID.
I didnt think of that. I will try it. Thanks for watching.
Lovely video handsomely showcasing TRANGIA innovation ,a company not known for prolific changes to a well trodden path of reliability . However I do wish they would trial a limited run of Titanium products in particular a burner with a sealable screw top , that would plug a massive hole in the market and scare the complacency from Evernew for not doing so already .
Thanks for watching, and the compliment. Both are appreciated. The titanium v aluminium debate is an interesting one. I have a 25 set in titanium that Trangia produced many years ago. I find very little weight difference, but prefer the aluminium. They seem spread and hold the heat better, which is my unscientific opinion based on usage. I have now upgraded all my pots to hard anodised aluminium if they are available, and find this to be close to perfect for me. I have seen a titanium burner as you described in use. Maybe it was overfilled? I dont know. The meths boiled out of the burner and tried to set the table on fire! That made for an interesting couple of minutes.
Great review on the micro.Does the base also fit the mini set?😊
Yes, it does. Its the same base, so they are interchangeable.
oh I like the look of that micro with the handle, do I need another cook set though lol could you measure the micro pot with the lid on, diameter and height
My measurements show about 115mm x 85mm high. I am assuming there will be more accurate measurements on the Trangia website. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Nice info
Thanks
I've got the Mini but just ordered the Original. I've been using their products for years and swear by them.
Yep, me too. I think Ive got most of the sets and they dont seem to date, or wear out. Thanks for watching.
I'm using stormcooker 27 from Japan.
I really enjoy that except strong wind.
alcohol stove is very weak so cooking take so manx time .
How do you use the stormcooker in that condition?
using windscreen around the storm cooker ?
sorry my hopeless engagement.
I want to buy that trangia micro but I've never seen these😅
I have both the 25 and the 27. They work well in any weather and wind using the pots and the kettle, but heat is lost when I use the fry pan. The only solution I have found was using a windshield around the cooker as you say. I will also use the gas adapter/burner if Im in a hurry. The alcohol is very slow. The micro is new. You can find it on the Trangia website. Thanks for watching.
thank you for your reply.
I understood the wind shield and gas style.
if you have a chance,please show me how you are using the wind shield on your you tube.
doumo- arigatou
@@hirooka6335 The trick is to face the holes on the windscreen *into* the wind, so more oxygen goes in for combustion. It seems counter-intuitive, as it's a Windscreen, but that's how it works. Also the strength of the alcohol is key. In the US I use KleenStrip denatured alcohol which is almost pure alcohol. HEET [Yellow] is an automotive fuel line additive, which is pure methyl alcohol, and also burns very well, but don't use HEET [Red]. Isopropyl alcohol does not work well in Trangia burners. Too much water, maybe? Also leaves black soot.
In the UK and Commonwealth countries they call the good fuel ''Meths'' but in US slang that means *Shiba* neh? So careful what you ask for. I do not know what is availble in Japan.
thank you for your advice!
I'd like to express my gratitude.
I've just bought this IMCO' messtin because it is black friday season here .
so things are cheaper.
and then I want to know how to use this messtin.I've found this interesting video.
if you don't know the messtin, please enjoy watching it.
if you already know, sorry about that.
anyway thankyou very much.
arigato
see you!

Maybe you get a poor outcome depending on the kind of fuel you use. In any case, Trangia cookers are not made to hurry on boiling water for freeze-dried meals or whatever, but to cook real food. I enjoy taking my time cooking outside.
Well presented, it’s been a while. I like the look of the micro but don’t really need any more stoves.
Cheers, Dave, No, I dont really need any more stoves, either. But I am a sucker for a Trangia. BTW, Im enjoying the DIY Dave series.
@@OAPAdventures He’s now gone entirely too
@@OutdoorsmanDave I will miss his cherry smile and the tips I will never use.
@@OAPAdventures Yeah he was a pretty helpful character but sadly not enough people showed appreciation for the time and effort that went into teaching them how to do shit and save money. Let’s hope that if Outdoorsman Dave turns up again that people will actually respond s as me not because he’s chasing an algorithm 🙂
On Trangia's webshop the red micro has a handle on it. Maybe you've got a monday exemplar?
I might have, no idea. Thanks for watching.
Can you turn the cover upside down and put it in the Mimi.
I did have some-one tell me that it would work, but when I tried it, didnt fit for me. Thanks for watching.
Can you fit a gas canister in these?
I dont know. I use the meths burner, so never tried. It'll certainly fit the smaller canisters.
I think micro would be perfect piece of gear if it had a spout.
Yes, a spout would help, but that's not on any of the Trangia pots that I have, so I assume they leave it for the kettle.
I buy Heet (yellow bottle) easy, cheap and not much soot. I get it at Walmart for $2.
Definitely a little different here. We dont have a brand called Heet, nor do we have a shop called Walmart. Thanks for watching.
@OAPAdventures It's for cars, available at nearly all auto parts stores too.
@@truneilson Thanks. I'll have a look.
Hand sanitizer works great.
You might have a better grade than me. Mine burned, but not well..
