Want a Trangia Triangle? - SAVE YOUR MONEY! - This Stove Stand is BETTER and CHEAPER!

- In the last year I have done videos on both the Trangia Triangle and the Esbit Ultralight folding stove, both of which are great stove stands! But, here is the problem…they are CRAZY EXPENSIVE! And here is the thing, I just don’t think they are worth the money. So, I went looking for something cheaper…and I think I found something better.

Guys, I checked last night before I posted the link and it was "in stock". Sorry! Keep an eye on it and hopefully they will restock soon...
Aargh! Nice review.
you did it again Ernie - reviewed and now gone - no mad just sad, thanks for the review
Not your fault, Just funny as hell since you said the price goes up when you talk about it. I see the out of stock on a lot of other review channels. Happens all the time so I have noticed.
Just ordered one!
Ali Express says it should be restocked in November.
A good video but I am not sure why you would have to pay $120 for the Trangia Triangle as they are currently available in the UK for just £17.94. But then again having bought a Hennessy Hammock from the USA I am aware that the massive mark up comes from shipping and taxes etc. A lot of people have issues with the wind when using these smaller stands for alcohol stoves but a simple foil windshield improves the stove efficiency for very little extra weight. I have bought a "Disposable Roasting Tray" which is made out of thick aluminium foil and cut the bottom out and use that a a wrap around wind break. Very cheap and easy to set up and fold away.
In Trangia page the triangle is $25 but don't sell for US.
Probable have copyright issues with Clickstand, so the scalpers in eBay have a "field day".
I just made my own. It is nearly identical to the alternative you review. It took about an hour for me to design and a few hours to make from scrap I had in my metal pile. Cost zip and works perfectly. If more people would just try to make their gear the price of this stuff would get sane again.
You pay through your nose for your inability to think for yourself and/or make a plan of your own. I got financially wiped out in 2005 but I had a caravan. Since then I have HAD to make plans. And I've got GOOD at it. Fortunately I now have a small pension but it doesn't go as far as I'd like. I also have a side hustle that brings in a few extra bucks. No rent as I have my caravan in a HUGE farm garden in exchange for a few chores and light duties. And I have a few ideas for improving my current financial position. Videos like Way Point Survival are my favourite watching.
How much is each hour of your time worth?
You must REALLY enjoy paying the gouge. I got my Trangia triangle for $35 USD on Amazon, and a Zen triangle for $20. The Zen has 3 position slots so you can burn wood chips and briquettes, too.
The flame is still unprotected where it hits the bottom of the pot. The "windscreen" needs a windscreen. This is a common problem with most pot stands that claim to also offer protection from the wind: the protection is minimal, at best.
Caldera cone is the answer for me
Makes no sense to me that all these stove stands have those 3 small places to set your pot on. Why make them so small? it wouldn't be such a balancing act if they were wider or full length of each side.
Problem, it’s made in China.
Wow that was quick. “No longer available”
Lol
same
Yep china sold out..lol
Happens every time :(
Most likely somebody bought them out and they will be on Amazon for 49.95! Lol
I know you mentioned it briefly but how well does the TOAKS Siphon work in this stand? Does it leave a 1" gap with the solid fuel plate still installed?
I looked at these (when they were still widely available, now they're hard to come by even here in the UK) but opted for a knockoff Lixada type twig burner, the smaller one. The reason for that is that I can also burn wood in this, as well as solid fuel tabs, if my meths (alcohol) is running low.
I have that Lixada bushbox copycat, too, and want to try hardwood pellets with some Swedish fire gel, or charcoal
Cheers Simon I’ve order one imho way more versatile than the triangle
I bought the
Gas One WS10 stove. It burns wood, wood pellets and, if you flip the fuel chamber upside down, will fit a Trangia perfectly. I filled up the Trangia and it ran for 30 minutes with this setup. The Gas One costs $17.
Why not just get the bush box mini? Do you guys not have those over there in the States? Check em out. Made in Germany
Looks like a better option...although it is no longer sold….
I just bought a Trangia Triangle burner direct from the Trangia website for 24.48 Euros (Approx Australian $38) - no where near being over $100 as mentioned in this video - pricing might be updated perhaps as the video is now over a year old - definitely worth shopping around as prices for Trangia products elsewhere are heavily inflated. Amazon prices aren't too bad but still worth double checking against the Trangia website and they do ship worldwide with free shipping for orders over 100 Euros.
Checked the trangia site last week and it's now $68 australian including delivery. That's just stupid
Im using the "Bushbox Ultralight" stove from Bushcraft Essentials. It weighs 10% less than the one in this video, and can be used for alcohol stoves, solid fuel tabs - AND WOOD..! Alcohol stoves are of course more practical than wood, but i still like to be able to just pick up some twigs and save my fuel if i want/need to. Using wood also makes it fairly simple to adjust the heat if i just want the food to simmer.
The "EDCBox" from Bushcraft Essentials (worlds smallest wood stove) is also pretty cool, but it cant fit the Trangia, so you need to improvise to use it with alcohol as fuel (i just use a small aluminum tin). When it comes to using wood as a fuel source, it is easy to heat the water sufficiently to make some coffee, or maybe some dehydrated meals, but you need a DIY alcohol stove to bring it to a full boil. The "EDCBox" also fits inside my tiny cookset that is basically just for making coffee. It is an old tin for pipe tobacco, that is about 4" diameter and 1" tall, which contains all i need to boil water for coffee. The tin itself works as a pot, and have just the right capacity to boil water for the "Aeropress Go" coffee maker, and inside this tin i also have the "EDCBox", a small chapstick tin that can be filled with alcohol and used as an alcohol stove, a small box with firestarter materials, the Exotac "NanoSpark" flint lighter (inside the "NanoSpark" i store a small permanent match), a small ~7ml container with alcohol (for the permanent match), a piece of cotton rope that has been charred in one end (so it can be used as a rope lighter together with the NanoSpark), a small scrub (to clean the soot off the stove and pot/tin, and to protect the fingers from the heat when lifting the pot/tin off the stove), and a small button compass (because why not). The weight of this kit is 207g, so it is not especially lightweight, but 4"x1" is about as small as you can get, and still be able to boil water for a full cup of coffee 😎👍
The "Lixada Ultralight Folding Titanium Pot Stand" triangle also fits the Trangia and is only $12. It does not have the solid fuel plate but was about the right height if the stove is on the ground (the pot would be 1" above the stove).
Have you tried out the Picogrill line? :)
You should try the Trangia in the lower slot. Trangia is most efficient with a stove top to pot bottom distance of 1.25 - 1.5". As always, thanks for the excellent review.
The downside is, that it so small, that you cant use the lid on the Trangia to regulate the heat.
Exatto!
Ernie, have you tested or reviewed the Bushcraft Essentials brand Bushbox Ultralight Outdoor Pocket Stove?
It’s pretty great, IMO.

@@danielsingh9415
Wow, so, I guess TH-cam deleted my reply because I included an Amazon link to the triangle stove I asked about above?
Ridiculous.
You're right.....it was you. I was looking at the Esbit triangle when it was about $30. and at that time thought it was too much but was out of stock anyway. Prices on items once mentioned on TH-cam can go up daily....if not hourly for popular, new items. Thanks!
As I have previously stated. Trangia on the upside down lid in the Bushbuddy is very safe. It's what I have. (besides the Esbit triangle) It can burn wood, it can burn alcohol. If you own a solo stove that probably works the same. I would rather not buy something made in China. On the other hand I have been toying with a cross stand directly on the body of the Bushbutdy. hmmmm, 2 pieces of 1 inch x 1/8 inch x 5 inches aluminum bar and a little DIY might just do the trick.
Hey Ernie you did it again sold out
Looks like China is out of stock. I got to keep looking for one somewhere. Thanks I will be on the Hunt!
In Sweden today you can buy the Triangle for about $30/280SEK. $100 for 4 pieces of metal is shameful. In combination with the gas burner & spirit burner you have a great kit for cooking outdoors...An updated model of the burner stand in the middle for Triangle 2022...Love from Sweden...🙂
I love the shameless plug for your patches
:)
Thank for the video just ordered my one from Ali express to the Uk 🇬🇧 no problem
The problem with all of these triangle stands is that the slightest breeze flowing under the pot will blow the flame away from the bottom of the pot. This is why designs such as the Sterno Inferno kit are best, because it creates a windbreak that goes up the sides of the pot (which also has the heat distribution design similar to Jetboil).
Too bad the Inferno has its own issues. The lid isnt heat resistant and swells into the pot becoming stuck. It is designed to only be used with the included pot. People have also reported the lock tabs getting stuck so they go to pick up the pot and end up picking up the whole stove which is less than ideal when your fuel is liquid (fire hazard). Lastly it doesnt nest neatly into itself since the flame guard has to actually hang outside the pot so it's a tad bit larger than it should be trying to pack it away. Firebox nano with it's flame guards is also highly wind resistant and can be used with whatever pot/pan combo you want plus it packs flat.
If you want a wind resistant system that only works with one pot without the quality control concerns of the Inferno the caldera cone is another option.
Have a look at the Clikstand it solves the problem you are referring to, one can purchase stainless steel or Titanium versions.
This is the ultimate triangle style set up available for gas and alcohol in my opinion.
@@SnowyAspenHills You´re absolutely right. Actually the Clikstand is the original. All the others are copy cats. I bought mine 10 years ago when the titanium version wasn´t avaliable. It is a bit heavy. but works well with the windscreen.
A fair review3. Bought my Firebox stove over a year ago with the Trangia and canister stove ad ons. Appreciate the versatility of the package.
Hmm 100$ for trangia triangle here in Sweden it’s about 30$
$100USD? Trangia triangle Listed for $42.50 CDN locally here - but out of stock
I have the expedition titanium esbit stove. it works great too. 28.00 dollars, It is essentially like those. I also got that info from you. Luckily they did not raise their prices.
Killer little pot stand. Bout time. I haven’t bought a stand for my trangia because of cost. Do yourself a favor and check out the Swiss made pico grill 85 and 239. Unbelievable for the price and I’d like to see ya review them. Ultralight stoves. And you can use a trangia in it
Got this about a year ago
I can’t get the Trangia to fit into the slots
So I use the solid fuel platform
Not exactly the sweet 1” spot
Trangia has a major supply problem
So the silly prices are not from Trangia, just secondary suppliers
This looks like a good pot support and your review was great as usual. I was wondering if you’d ever heard of picogrill?
Is all the camping and hiking gear made only in China now? If I'm paying big money for something it better be made in America.
It's made all over...Japan, China, USA, Germany, Sweden etc. But yes, much of it in China now
Misinformation.... Trangia Triangle from the factory is only $31.50. Canadian Outdoor Equipment $42.50. Sometimes available on Amazon. Nowhere near the stated over $120.00 as quoted by this poster.

Sorry, this item is no longer available!
I've paid the money for the Trangia because it can be used with a gas burner, (Trangia or third party gas burner, like GoSystems, which I use). This is a big difference IMO. I have the alcohol burner and the small cross stand for it. The two piece pot stand can lie across the Trangia triangle in a 'T' configuration for smaller titanium cups, providing a fast efficient boil. Everything else is fine.
The Trangia Triangle is back in production and generally available and is not commanding the premium prices at the time of this review.
Get a TT and a gas burner and pair with the Trangia Mini system and you have a wonderful versatile light cooking system for either gas or spirit or one person. If using gas the burner fits into the Trangia Mini and the TT can be held with it by a rubber band. The Triangle cost me £22 a few months ago; now round £ 26 ($30 at time of posting), on Amazon UK, with an updated design for 2022 which accepts both alcohol and gas burner in a more robust design.
Thumbs up, even though this video is older it is still relevant and helpful.
As someone new and just going the alcohol fuel route just ordered one of these triangle stoves from Ali-Express and its still 16 bucks and some change several years later! Thanks.
I have ordered from Ali Express several times over the last few years and although not somewhere I shop often on some things their prices make it the best place to buy certain items from to save you some dollars.
Time to troll. $18 for a stove? How about $4.98 for a fold up solid fuel stove including fuel at wally world.
There is an inverse relationship between the height of the stove and the burning of your fingers trying to light it.
Now if they had a little door like an old 'pilot hole door' that you could light from the side....
What would be nice if they designed a pot holder that has a place to put something under the alcohol stove to heat the stove while the stove warms up.
Sure would speed things up in the winter time.
HAHA, the price did not go up on this item. HOWEVER it is out of stock at 5:36pm CDT 9/27/21. So I guess My Red Camp stand will have to do for now. I tell ya, its tough to beat the Cat can stove, built in pot stand and cost. I would say almost as light as Titanium too.
No room for a simmer ring to be used on the copies, unlike the Trangia Triangle which does have room for the simmer ring.
One will have a hard time Cooking Bacon and Eggs without the use of a simmer ring.
Trangia Triangle wins, and it costs £20.
Right, a simmer ring is essential for longer, slower cooking. Also, there’s no way the Triangle costs $100 or $120, unless it’s from scammers taking advantage of the shortage.
@@victorf5404 In Trangia page the price is $ 25. But don't sell for USA - probable due Clickstand copyright claims; then the way to get one is pay scammers in eBay.
PaleoHikerMD is affecting the market again. Will be restocked mid November. LOL
Did anyone else get another product before the right one would show up? I got listing for women's clothes and Hello Kitty boxes.
GOD Bless you and your families
Given the scarcity, high price and demand, why aren't manufactures falling all over themselves to get product to market?
I use the Toaks "titanium alcohol stove stand & windscreen" with my Trangia. It's $24 on Amazon & works great with my Toaks 750ml pot.
Great kit, have a review on it filmed that will come out down the line
@@PaleoHikerMD Cool! Can’t wait to see it. Only problem I found was the stakes are too long to fit in my 750ml pot, and if they’re somewhere else, that opens up the potential to lose or forget them…
This titanium stand is now 31,73€ and trangia triangle is 25.90€. Looks to be smaller than trangia, so i wonder how well it would fit a gas burner or a multifuel burner.
Great review as usual Ernie. Would love you to review the Picogrill stoves and grills note available on Amazon when you get a chance. Thx again 👍
Hi! I'm late but I was wondering how this would work with a Trangia Mini. Do you need an additional windshield or could this perhaps replace the poor trangia original "windshield" entirely?
No pandemic shortage. Trangia had to stop the production due to some patent stuff, spring 2022 they have a new design in full production (better) and the shortage is void. In Sweden the new design is about $25 and a great value.
Nice little stove there. Have you tried the Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox ultralight stove? I always have it with me when I'm out and about - it's fiddly to assemble but really versatile! All the best from the UK!
how many inches is the distance from the top of the trangia to the top of the stove, does it have 1 inch?
already showing not available....you have the power
But now yourve advertised it the price will go up. Thx I’ve been looking for something to fit into a set of British mess tins
Sweet, I'll check back often, to see when it's back in stock. Ever since I got my titanium plates & screws in my head, I've been addicted to titanium...but it's all in my head
Sorry, inside joke 😝
(brain tumor humor)
Back in stock, 95 available...er 94 😉
I also didn't lose my sense of tumour after my op 😁
Hmm 🤔 ..
Pricing .. often set at what the 'bean counters' consider that the market will tolerate.
However, that said, one must consider labour costs, workplace conditions and living standards in the respective countries where the items are manufactured.
Yes, 'having a conscience' does not necessarily benefit one's pocket and sometimes one has to go with the latter rather than the former.
Just spotted it on Amazon, in stock, for $20 shipping included
The problem with this stove (and the Esbit) is that you wouldn't be able to use the simmer rings on Trangia and Esbit burners, whereas the Trangia Triangle has room (just) for a simmer ring. This may (at least in part) make up for the exorbitant price of Trangia product.
Yeah, that is a huge negative if you want to actually cook meals rather than just boil water. This is no way superior than the Trangia.
Oh my god here we go again, another claim that there is a better stove, this is nothing more but a way to get you to spend more money. Isn't that just great?! lol
I brought a brand new triangle from Ebay for £25.00 brand new
Short question where is the Argo made? Trangia now where to find? On the Trangia website ?
OR buy a Lixada titanium pack flat wood stove and add a third fuel option
Another great alternative is the bushbox ultralight from bushcraft essentials.
It offers the same as the ones you show, with the option also use wood and esbit tablets.
I also like the top plate, cause it fits even very narrow cups.
With the closed baseplate its 40€, but you get a made in Germany product with way more versatility
True fact, you can never have too many stoves. Thanks for sharing!
It's back in stock on Ali Express!! I just ordered mine :)
The Trangia triangle can be used with the simmer rong of the trangia burner which is a great + ! This pot stand can not a cept the simmer ring.
I bought a very similar one a couple of years ago.
Use a windscreen on a windy day or bring three times the amount of fuel you would use in perfect condition.
Make a grill or bring some nails, or tent pegs for mug sized cups and pots.
The simmer ring won’t fit so make one out of the bottom of a tin can that is just a drop over.
Love mine, but it sees limited use. Sort of a bug out bag item.
Man was a Trangia Triangle really over 100 dollar a few years back?
The cabinet pull behind you and above your head is distracting.
The IKEA utensil holder (13.5 cm. SMALL SIZE) @ $4.99 is perfect. If hight adjustment is required, a few pieces of meat skewers will work, same for a "top grill". It doesn't fold but it will hold the stove, aluminum foil, ferro rod, etc.
👍 .. yep, greatly underrated and if one fabricates a carrying bag from whatever is lying around at home, being as lightweight as it is, if necessary, it can be slung onto the outside of one's pack.
You better believe it ! Bahahahaha! That's awesome man!
You put the stove stand together inside out, it seems. I mean, it works, but logo should be on outside.
I love the way you say, "It's absolutely out of control". I just ordered one - thanks.
You can’t use the gas burner like you can with the triangle.
That is a good Stand. Got mine about a year ago. I was looking for the trangia triangle but got this instead, no recrets 👌
how is that better? You cant fit the gas burner that you can with the original one...
Does the stand and a Trangia fit inside of 750 mL tokes pot
Hi Ernie, does this stand allow enough space for the simmer ring to used properly?
Big fan btw.
No space for use Trangia simmer ring.
Clickstand Titanium have space, but cost more than this Argus.
@@Sokol10 thank you👍
No longer available!!! As of 11/30/21.
Why do I have to buy everything you review 🤦♂️
Looks good but can you use the simmer cap with it?
Before I made a 0.2 ounce cat food can stove, i used a Trangia for quite a few years. I used an Evernew titanium cross stand(0.5 ounce for the pair and $15) plus a Toaks titanium windscreen (0.5 ounce, $11). I still use the windscreen for my cat can stove
It says, they will restock mid-Nov in the item title
I went to the website and it says, it's no longer available :(
When will you try the bushbox ultralight 🥲
The Trangia triangle are 30$ on amazon right now
Out of stock as of 30 November....
you should run this test in wind conditions
Toaks make one similar on ali express
You have great videos! Since you seem to be the guy when it comes to these we would love to send you one of our StarFire stoves to try.
They are not worth these prices
I want both patches and the stand
To be honest?
Our Church youth group has been making our own "stove stand" for years. We flaten out a large coffee can, and cut it to a similar pattern with tin-snips! Cost us ZERO! Folks just donate their empty coffee cans.
These have been working just fine for 25 years.
Ali express is a non-starter
You might want to try the Zen Camps stove holder. It works great. Only 19.99 with free shipping. Really well built.
Used trangia for 40 years and wouldn’t swap. It’s easy really. It WORKS.long live trangia 🏴🙏👍
Hmm, I looked today and the Argos stand after shipping and import tax is the same price as the Trangia Triangle here in the UK. Both about £30, ($36). Ive been using one of the Chinese lixada stands which is very thin flexible metal in 2 parts, only weighs about 20 grams. Works fine for small pans, problem is it doesnt take the burner off the ground so is a fire risk when its dry. So have to scrape away any leaves and put it on soil, or on a mat.
both of them,, which one you choose
You Sir, are a market place juggernaut! Now you've gone and created a run on "ArgosTitanium Folding Pot Stand with Tray. Will Restock from Mid-Novemer2021" --Freeman
Just got mine, today. 17 days, C$31.33 with $10 shipping. Size testing with my Lixada knockoff Evernew titanium burner fits at the 1" flame level, my lil 450ml cup doesn't fit, but 900ml pot fits fine (I have a lil square grate for that purpose). I see what u mean about having to bend some tabs out for assembly.
Also, I contacted the seller & posted the yt link, they were thankful 👍
Love titanium anything
