Last week or so I have been using this method as an alternative from a 220 volt stovetop. I think I can save a bit of money each month. The set up I have a slightly different though.
When you want to heat up a cold burner, you can drip a small amount of fuel into that little "moat" around the outside of the ring of jets. Light that as well as the fuel in the middle. Various ways to drip it. Simplest is to dip a twig in the unlit burner then drip a few spots of fuel from the twig into the moat.
Good day to you. I am a senior rider on HONDA Cross Cub from Japan. Enjoying touring ,camping and video uploading. This is so nice camp gear Trangia video
A wonderful demonstration. I lost three meals in the woods last year because of wind.(back pack stove, windshield, canteen cup). Now I understand the logic of having a Trangia cook kit. Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry.2024
i have a 25 and a 27 and use them all of the time, sometimes i cook full meals on the 27 with all of the pots and pans but i also take the 27 with me on dayhikes and hikes where i only need boiling water and strip it down to just the windscreens, the burner and the kettle. stripped down it doesn't weigh very much more than a trangia 28 and works fantastic in high winds with no additional windscreens. my favorite thing about the trangia 25 and 27 is that when you are using it, the pots and pans are always securely held in place and won't slide off or blow away easily. you can stir a pot with one hand and it won't slide off the stove.
Good Video Paul, the small hole is for the multi fuel adapter, as for the meths add 10% water to the meths, It will stop the pots going black underneath, it does work. I have 2 25's, a mini trangia and a gas adapter. I love them.
I thought I remembered this video 🙂. I loved it when I saw it the first time around. I think that is what I'll cook up for dinner tonight. It's been awhile since I served it up. I make it at home in my rice cooker by adding some brown gravy to make the rice cooker like steaming it better. Glad I ran across it again! Have a fine weekend 🤗.
13:50 Funny to see swiss army knife at work. When I was young I never used it. It was "If nessesesery" in my pocket. 15:05 I find aluminum lid from old cookware which fit with trangia pot. Aluminum foil is good enough too.
For me the best Trangia are the Storm Cooker 27-21 UL/D with Gas Burner, I have the Kettle 27 Small, 0.6 L and ditch the small pan, so one large pan and a kettle. I ditched the spirit burner many years ago, it takes much too long time to cook and uses too much spirit, so gas cooks much faster and uses not much gas, so it is a much more light weight solution with the gas burner ! Highly recommended.
Been looking at this kit for some time niw that I've watched your hands on review I'm no longer considering I'm convinced its the one for me thank you for a great video
Hello Paul, thank you for the video, I was wondering how the Trangia system worked, I liked the way you explained the smallest details, because they are all important. I was also thinking about the handle scratching the pans, it would be interesting to know if the rubber grommet versions are better? The video would have been even better without any music, just the sound of the birds and your voice. Thank you again!
Thanks Ruby. I have learn't my lesson with the music! I am glad you liked the video and have an understanding of the system now. I used to and still do sometimes wrap the handle with a small cloth.
12:50 No it's wont burn or melt. Melting point of aluminium is 660.32 C + all that mass of the kettle will not allow it to get to that temperature with a simple alchohol trangia stove.
Thank you, Sir, your video just made my mind up for me. I've been jumping back and forth from a jetboil to pathfinder stoves to a new msr whisperlite, none of them can compare to the versatility of this cook set.
Another great video featuring the wonders of the Trangia cooking set. I, too, love the T27, can't be beat. Your lunch looked fabulous, nice recipe - meatballs always a winner. Gee, sure glad I found your channel. We have similar tastes in food 👍♥️
I enjoyed your video, thankyou. It was very relaxing :) I'm vegetarian but I appreciated you taking your time to cook and I'm happy to see you enjoying yourself. I've just ordered my Trangia 27-UL and can't wait to use it. You gave very helpful information about the cooker - cheers!
The pot grip will fit on top of the kettle. Handle end near the spout. I find that I can get the burner a small bottle of detergent and a cut down cleaning pad in the kettle. You should also be able to get a microbites utensil set parallel to the pot gripper.
Have the brass burner - the “incendiary Swedish doorknob” and a 1 liter Trangia fuel bottle. Bought them last year, for “just in case” on a trip to L.A. (by request of an aged parent). Am thinking to get most of the full set, for the following: 1) Ebike “travel”. Due to age and health problems, I will probably need to stay in either hotels or “improved” campsites. (Electric power will be required) This will mostly be for backup, and/ or wanting a warm meal while “on the road.” 2) power outages at home. These are rare - one to three a year - but have lasted as long as 16 hours. I *have* wanted warmed meals then. I have very limited cooking skills, so a typical meal will involve “boiling rice and veggies.”
Have secured the Nonstick fryer, and just got the pan stand. Just need either the inner or outer duossal, opposite the one I have, the billy pot (washing up, mostly) and a bag like the one shown.
One thing I really appreciate about my Trangia 25 is how quiet it is. I sometimes will use a Pocket Rocket .. with gas cannister for a really fast cup of hot water. It's a tad faster for just that...but the noise is imho quite irritating... and far less stable than the Trangia. Also the pocket rocket is very poor in the wind. All around... Trangia is the winner for me.
I have the same kit. I discovered the .6L kettle fits perfectly in a Pathfinder 64 Bushpot (line up the spouts) and you can change up the cook kit. Cheers.
Cheers for all the vids - just ordered my 27 cook set....can't wait ! Thanks for explaining everything ... it's priceless to be honest 👍 All the best.....
Thanks for a great video. At first I got the mini, now I added the 27 and the billy pot. Now I can go minimum, bigger and even bigger, depending of my trip. I can also combine the mini with inside one bowl of the 27 etc. The combinations are endless.
Really enjoyed the video - not too keen on the music but anyway. I was thinking of getting one of these and you sold me. I love the fact that they are made in Sweden and not china. Everything else it seems is cheap chinese tack, even the not so cheap stuff!
Loved your review, Paul. This piece of kit and your amazing recipe is definitely on my bucket list. Thank you so much for sharing. You come highly rated by Kent Survival.
I started with a 1980s Coleman white gas single burner. Too heavy but worked well. Waiting on a 27 HA. Should be able to cut the current mess kits and just use the trangia.
I recommend putting the pot or kettle on as soon as you light it. It's just wasting fuel otherwise, plus the pot keeps the heat in and the burner blooms faster. I've never had one go out doing that.
@@PaulBissekerBushcraft can't speak for the triangle as ive never tried it. I like the idea of low weight, but its really expensive for what you get. I imagine you need to set up a windbreak ourdoors, but for hut camping it looks great.
Thanks for watching Felicia, Your welcome. I have watched a lot of videos for the purpose of understanding a product more, so i know its important to explain things properly. I am glad it helped you.
Excellent video - brilliantly done and really appreciate that you cooked an actual meal rather than just boiling water - it looked delicious! I subbed your channel too - Cheers! - Luther
Great watch.... I agree if you want a controllable cooking system then I think you would be very hard pushed to find a better system then the trangia... cheers Chris
Great vid. You could have drained the liquid into your other pot of meat and onions to make the sauce in. It still looked really tasty, and probably less messy, the way you did it. Thanks for the demo.
The pot gripper fits, just need to get rid of the packaging. Don't worry about scratching the non stick, it's going to happen! Love the vids Paul. Keep them coming.
Great video very interesting. The perfect demonstration of the cooking system you have it going on Paul. I think you should think about making a cooking show or a series?. I would tune in on every episode. so as you Brits would say, Bloody good old man, Bloody damn good
Good vid, you mentioned your older Trangia that doesn’t clip together. Just got an old 27 that doesn’t clip together. Are the pan sizes the same for old 27 to new? Thanks.
Really good video. I have the 25 series and love it. That table you used was really nice. Is it a local item or something I could get here in the states? Thanks for the video and it looked delicious!!!!!
That's a nice Hootchie (Tarp). I'd love one of those. UK MOD? If you can buy them, I'd like a link. I have two Aussie ones from when I was in the Army, but I left in the early 70s, so they are pretty ratty now. The Aussie ones were designed for two soldiers to clip theirs together to come up with a Hootchie a bit smaller than yours looks.
Really sorry this turned out to be a biggy, possibly too much home made wine lol……Anyways: I really luv the Trangia kits. I've an old 25 series I bought years ago that I've used extensively when camping with my wife; we still use it today on our more comfortable glamping adventures. Crawling in and out of our little tents became a bit troublesome on the bones lol, but campers we'll always be in one form or another. I also recently purchased a 27 series. Truly these Trangia kits in whatever size are almost bomb proof, they really are great bits of gear. We also have a Trangia triangle that we generally always use as a secondary burner so we can cook with at least 2 pots at a time. Other great bits of kit we use are the Svea 123 and the Coleman's 442 Featherlight. We've had these at least 25 years and they still prove themselves to be reliable beyond their years. If you can find these buy them, they won't ever disappoint. On the Glamping front, (well it's Glamping for us now). We bought a poly cotton tent we can stand up in Outwell Concorde 5SATC, It's very spacious for 2 and for a small family, I'm really looking forward to introducing my 18 mth old grandson to camping this summer when he's 2yrs old, although my daughter and my wife think I should wait a while, lol. He fills my world what can I say; being a Grampa is in my opinion is pretty great, anyways the tent: th-cam.com/video/aGs1AhkGotc/w-d-xo.html Intex queen air bed from Tesco's we'd heard great things about these and wow it's like camping in the Ritz, just make sure to protect the base of the bed, (Yep lesson learned lol after a silly mistake of not safeguarding the bottom of her bed we bought cheap Tesco roll mats at £5 for 2 to prevent the base of the bed from getting punctured: www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/289165863?sc_cmp=ppc*GHS+-+Grocery+-+New*PX+%7C+Shopping+GSC+%7C+All+Products*Home+%26+Entertainment*PRODUCT_GROUP289165863*&ds_rl=1116019&ds_rl=1116322&ds_rl=1116019&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1pzYtsL73wIVuArTCh0H1QKYEAQYAiABEgI2S_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds We also bought a Sunngas Platinum Double Burner and Griddle: th-cam.com/video/k4dUSLDyzK4/w-d-xo.html. It's pretty much exactly the same as the Outwell Chef Cooker Premium 3 Burner Stove and Grill but a little cheaper. Probably made from the same manufacturer in China and branded as required lol. And a lovely double sleeping bag, I think this is the one we we bought: www.gooutdoors.co.uk/vango-ambience-double-sleeping-bag-p367501 All this kit I've mentioned you can disassemble, clean and get it looking like new again. Kick the disposable and embrace the recoverable and the renewable. My grandfather was a watchmaker….. I like that he tried to fix things before throwing them out. I know we're not bushcrafters and we glamp more than camp now but we have over 30 years experience together in various types of camping and I just wanted to share a little of what we found to be useful. Luv and peace to all…… my soapbox time has ended. lol PS...Much as we luv camping we do really enjoy a holiday in a good hotel too….I just wanted to add that to balance things a little ……. : )
Camping is what you make it. Bivvy bag to a luxury motor home, it's all about escaping the four walls. Thanks for the comments, my biggest comment to date ;)

@@PaulBissekerBushcraft have gone much of the way toward getting a -27 set. Wondering about the “frying pan” - non-stick, hard anodized, or duossal?
Have secured the Nonstick fryer, and just got the pan stand. Just need either the inner or outer duossal, opposite the one I have, the billy pot (washing up, mostly) and a bag like the one shown.

Nice A to Z vid Paul - cheers!
Thank you just put my set in the cart on Amazon. I have been looking for a while for the right one!
Yet another very informative video Paul. I don't care much for that nervy music though especially when you are talking. ATB Marc Belgium

Excellent demonstration of the Trangia 27, good cooking and first class video.....well done!!
Thank you Rick.
Put a little fuel on rim for heating it up and lighting. It is a preheating rim for cold weather use.
Nice kit thanks
Loved this video. The stick worked so well as a cooking item. Subscribed.
Paul, thanks for the review I think I'll be buying that kit shortly. I agree with other reviews that your food looked tasty too. Cheers.

Thanks Chris
Super helpfull video
Great review of the kit and usage! The food looked delicious as well! I let out a laugh on "Oh Shit", thumbs up mate!
Thanks Jimmy ;)
Loving the tune @ about 17 mins!! Ow and it looks great!!
My brother made the music ;)
Excellent review, thank you!
Btw, what watch are you wearing?
Thanks. The watch is a Citizen Eco Drive WR200
Looked fantastic mate, cheers
Thanks 👍
brilliant video mate.
I have got the larger heavier trangia set and it really is fantastic 👍
Thanks
Really enjoyed the video. Like to see real cooking on these. I did a cooked breakfast the other day in mine and it was bang on.
Yeah i agree, got to cook proper food!
The supplied pot gripper damages the non-stick surface. Get a Primus or Alocs one with rubber grommets.
great video I love the trangia cooksets I do find a non stick frypan a great benefit ! thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching John ;)
That looked fun!
Great vid. You could have drained the liquid into your other pot of meat and onions to make the sauce in. It still looked really tasty, and probably less messy, the way you did it. Thanks for the demo.
Thanks jmax ;)
What's the name of that plastic part to pour out water after cooking pasta ? Thanks for sharing!!!
Its a Multi-disc 27
If you can get it I suggest Denatured Alcohol. Burns clean, no soot. Been using it for years in my Trangia 25.
Good looking meal there on one heck of an amazing stove system. Thank you for sharing this vid! Good stuff!
The pot gripper fits, just need to get rid of the packaging. Don't worry about scratching the non stick, it's going to happen! Love the vids Paul. Keep them coming.
Thanks Paul. Very informative!
Great video very interesting. The perfect demonstration of the cooking system you have it going on Paul. I think you should think about making a cooking show or a series?. I would tune in on every episode. so as you Brits would say, Bloody good old man, Bloody damn good
Great video and good cooking...Well done!!
Thanks ;)
Excellent vid Paul , informative and enjoyable , mac
Thanks Mac
Good vid, you mentioned your older Trangia that doesn’t clip together. Just got an old 27 that doesn’t clip together. Are the pan sizes the same for old 27 to new? Thanks.
Yes i think they are. Mine is the old 25 and it's the same as the new pans.
@@PaulBissekerBushcraft - many thanks Paul.
Great video, thanks. Helped me make my mind up on getting a Trangia cookset
They are the best systems if you need a whole set.
Nice one mate, just ordered mine.
👍 sehr schöne Video 👏 ich fand auch Tisch sehr praktisch ! Tolle praktische Ideen für Verwendung! Supper Küche für unterwegs 😍
Tack för att du tittade.
Excellent; thanks.
could you tell me about your tray under your trangia?
The tray is a fishing bivvy table
Hi paul, i think you need make more video cooking with trangia many people love to watching it, btw thanks for sharing paul.
I will do ;)
Hi Paul,
thanks for another really good video. I am a big fan of Trangia kit also.

Good Video Paul
Thanks
Great review! Subscribed! Looking forward to more outdoor reviews.
Thank You :)
Thans for the video!
Really good video. I have the 25 series and love it. That table you used was really nice. Is it a local item or something I could get here in the states? Thanks for the video and it looked delicious!!!!!
Well that seems like a lovely Kit. You did a good job, seeing how it is brand new for you. Your a pro. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Monica, i have the 25 series too ;)
Great review! (I've watched a few.) I'm holding out until I can convince myself I gotta have one! :)
Great review and instructions
Thanks Jon 👍
Very informative, thanks for the review! Well done!
That's a nice Hootchie (Tarp). I'd love one of those. UK MOD? If you can buy them, I'd like a link. I have two Aussie ones from when I was in the Army, but I left in the early 70s, so they are pretty ratty now. The Aussie ones were designed for two soldiers to clip theirs together to come up with a Hootchie a bit smaller than yours looks.
Thanks for watching Mick. It's a DD Hammocks tarp www.ddhammocks.com/product/dd_tarp_mc?from_cat=2
Could you use solid alcohol blocks??
if you have a place to burn them. probably
Really sorry this turned out to be a biggy, possibly too much home made wine lol……Anyways:
I really luv the Trangia kits. I've an old 25 series I bought years ago that I've used extensively when camping with my wife; we still use it today on our more comfortable glamping adventures. Crawling in and out of our little tents became a bit troublesome on the bones lol, but campers we'll always be in one form or another.
I also recently purchased a 27 series. Truly these Trangia kits in whatever size are almost bomb proof, they really are great bits of gear. We also have a Trangia triangle that we generally always use as a secondary burner so we can cook with at least 2 pots at a time.
Other great bits of kit we use are the Svea 123 and the Coleman's 442 Featherlight. We've had these at least 25 years and they still prove themselves to be reliable beyond their years. If you can find these buy them, they won't ever disappoint. On the Glamping front, (well it's Glamping for us now). We bought a poly cotton tent we can stand up in Outwell Concorde 5SATC, It's very spacious for 2 and for a small family, I'm really looking forward to introducing my 18 mth old grandson to camping this summer when he's 2yrs old, although my daughter and my wife think I should wait a while, lol. He fills my world what can I say; being a Grampa is in my opinion is pretty great, anyways the tent:
th-cam.com/video/aGs1AhkGotc/w-d-xo.html
Intex queen air bed from Tesco's we'd heard great things about these and wow it's like camping in the Ritz, just make sure to protect the base of the bed, (Yep lesson learned lol after a silly mistake of not safeguarding the bottom of her bed we bought cheap Tesco roll mats at £5 for 2 to prevent the base of the bed from getting punctured:

We also bought a Sunngas Platinum Double Burner and Griddle:

It's pretty much exactly the same as the Outwell Chef Cooker Premium 3 Burner Stove and Grill but a little cheaper. Probably made from the same manufacturer in China and branded as required lol.

All this kit I've mentioned you can disassemble, clean and get it looking like new again. Kick the disposable and embrace the recoverable and the renewable. My grandfather was a watchmaker….. I like that he tried to fix things before throwing them out.
I know we're not bushcrafters and we glamp more than camp now but we have over 30 years experience together in various types of camping and I just wanted to share a little of what we found to be useful.
Luv and peace to all…… my soapbox time has ended. lol
PS...Much as we luv camping we do really enjoy a holiday in a good hotel too….I just wanted to add that to balance things a little ……. : )
Camping is what you make it. Bivvy bag to a luxury motor home, it's all about escaping the four walls. Thanks for the comments, my biggest comment to date ;)
Yeah sorry about the length of it :(
ohh shit ! don't panic ............ great review thanks for shaing
Well done, now I'm starving ;)
Sorry ;)
You can fry almonds to go with pasta. Butter and some grated cheese is good to add fat and taste.
Great review. What’s your opinion of the hard anodized version vs the non stick one? I’m torn between the two. Thank you sir
The hard Anodized set, will take a few knocks and won't scratch as easy. I would go for that one if it's not too much more expensive.
Excellent piece of kit TFS atb Dave
