I've had a Trangia Model 25 Storm Cooker since 1974. During my college years I worked summers at a Boy Scout summer camp as a staff member. Between my first and second year of college we had a Foreign Exchange Scout from Sweden. He brought his Trangia Model 25 with him and he showed me how well it worked, so I bought one. It has been one of the best investments I ever made! Over the years I have bought a few accessories for my set including a cutting board/pot strainer, an insert for using solid fuel (Esbit type), the Trangia alcohol fuel bottle (it has a great stopper that allows a person to pour fuel without spilling), an extra burner, and a winter adapter. The winter adapter helps the alcohol burner bloom faster in extreme cold, and comes with an aluminum plate that allows a person to put the cook set directly on the snow yet keeps the heat from the kit from melting the snow and sinking into it. In warmer weather I can use the winter kit plate to eat from (or I leave it home, if I'm concerned about weight). I've made hundreds of meals from my storm cooker from one side of the country to the other, plus Alaska (when I lived there) and Canada. It shows some dings and dents from the 49 years I've owned and used it, but the original burner still works as good as it did the day I bought it. This is a kit you can use to actually cook, and not just heat water. I bought a second burner so, if I'm cooking something that needs to simmer for a long time, I can remove the hot (but empty) burner, and replace it with a cold, freshly filled burner without the food cooling off. I replaced the simmer ring from my original burner with the new style simmer ring (which works much better). I don't know exactly how long a burner full of fuel will simmer with the simmer ring cranked down, but it is a darned long time. I seldom need to switch burners unless the food has to cook for several hours. By the way, Trangia calls these kits "Storm Cookers" for a reason! The wind screen setup with these is very windproof and I've used mine in winds that would make most outdoor stoves totally useless. Trangia makes dozens of different models of the Model 25 and Model 27 Storm Cookers. Go to the Trangia web site to see the kits and accessories they make. There may be other on-line stores that sell accessories and kits, but campsaver.com seems to show the most I've seen. I have often bought accessories by looking them up on the Trangia web site, then searching for that specific item on Amazon. Sorry this post is so long, but I tend to be pretty windy once I start typing.
Not had my set quite as long, but my favourite piece of camping kit. Bought the non stick frying pan, which is so much easier clean. I bought a second non stick frying about 10 years ago, which I've not used yet! The only thing I have to do first is boil a kettle of water as initially the meths from storing the burner in the kettle taints the taste of my coffee!
Excellent video. A lot of people don't realize the ability to separate the two halves of the wind screen in operation, so you have provided an excellent tutorial.
I have a duossal model 25 and it is fantastic. Seriously one of the best pieces of kit that I own. I have owned it for years and give it my highest recommendation.
Brass can react (galvanic corrosion) with aluminium especially in damp conditions. To minimise the risk of the this I'd advise you isolate the brass burner by keeping it in a plastic bag when storing it in the kettle.
@@andrewhaines3259 There was no protection around the burner when it was pulled out of the kettle in the video. I made the comment to prevent others from doing the same thing.
Great video, thanks! The Trangia is advertised as a "Stormcooker". And that's no lie. I have used it for 30 years plus in heavy winds and temperatures around 0° Celsius in Northern Scandinavia. It works just great and is worth every ounce it weighs more than a so called modern lightweight cooker. Some additional recommendations perhaps: in addition to the traditional alcohol burner, which is nicely silent but lacks power in harsher conditions, they offer an alternative gas burner, a real hellfire under all conditions but severe frost (you can also adapt petrol burners for subzero conditions). And as an alternative to the standard pots and pans, which are simple aluminum, they offer duossal (outside aluminum, inside stainless steel) and non stick versions, which can be nicely combined. And since last year you can buy an awesome deep pan instead of the normal one. I love it.
I just recently picked up the stainless steel version called the duossal, I've done two cooks in it so far and I'm really happy with it. I also got the Trangia plates, GSI stainless kettle, multi disk & a nice custom waxed cotton bag. Looking forward to some more outdoor adventures with it. Hope you enjoy yours 👍
I still have my 25 kettle going strong after 30 years but I switched to the GSI stainless steel kettle also. Good upgrade and wide lid makes for easy storage for handle of accessories.
Hi Blacckie , greetings from Australia, thank you for your time to make these videos. They also have a hole in the base where you can add a gas burner where the trangia burner goes, you can also purchase the the 2 pots and the fry pan in a , non stick coating , I have both, my children used them in scouts.
I love my Trangia (Actually pronounced Trang-yuh). I have been using mine for 20some years and have multiple of every model they have. I am their #1 rated customer... Seriously, you can ask them :) The brass piece is the burner, not the stove. The bottom windshield is the piece that the brass burner sets in and then you add the top windshield to make the complete "stove". The 25 series stoves come with kettles also... The reference numbers that are even (-2, -4, -6, -8, -0) all come with kettles in the 25 series and the 27 series stoves. They are not "Storm kettles'", those are the Kelly Kettles. The Trangias are known as "Stormcookers" :) **Yours is actually, the base model 27-2 UL. Very nice set, enjoy it!!!!
The 25 is decent dude. The 27 is allegedly for two people but from experience the 25 is much better. You should look out for the accessories - they really make the Trangia incredibly versatile. They can use an alcohol burner, gas stove or a hexi/gel block burner if you get the right accessory. There is also a Billy can pot that everything fits into. Very solid bit of kit - definitely one of my better purchases.
I like to adjust my simmer ring so the disc moves fairly easy, that way I can adjust the opening by just tapping it with a stick or knife. You don’t want it flopping around just enough to move easily. 🔥
nice video about the cook set. The 25 is the bigger one. The 27 is smaller but big enough for 1 or 2 people. The actual content is indcated by a number after a dash. Both are available with a kettle. I have a 25 and 27 both in Duosal and with a kettle and a multidisk. I am really happy with them. For shorter outings I just fill up the stove and do not need to pack extra fuel (YMMV). It is worth mentioning that spare parts and replacements are easily available. That´s anice thing when you wore down or melted the seal.
Trangia cooksets are worth the weight if you actually like cooking. Both 25 and 27 have their own size kettles. People get confused that the smaller set has the bigger number. But they just started numbering the products they made from 1,2,3, etc. So the 25 set was created first!
The Trangia burner is my absolute favorite! I have butane and propane stoves. But, use the Trangia most of the time. The cook sets have been refined over the decades. Very well thought out. Wind screen works great. For me the whole set is to big for one person. Two people, longer stay, more elaborate cooking, car camping, great choice!
I love the 27 for maybe two people. I have the optional burners for it. I have used the alcohol burner, the LP gas burner, and the white gas burner. White gas one is good in freezing temps.
@@Bucky1836 They did a special run awhile back. They notified me, when they had them ready to ship. Don't remember when it was. I got one for I guess to have it. I prefer the LP one the best.
I used my 27 every day for a 3 month bike tour, cooking real food every night, no "just add water: packs. It is slower than many modern gas burners but that was not a disadvantage for me. I cooked up a 3 course steak dinner on one occasion. Safe and easy to use, hard to tip, controllable. I set the stove and kettle up for morning coffee. One batch of German alcohol was too concentrated and caused a boil over. Never test new fuel indoors. Adding a few drops of water will tame rocket fuel.
Blackie, it appears you have a 27-3. I have one and love it. I can recommend the universal stand that looks like a triangular metal frame that sets on the kettle/pot supports to allow you to use non Trangia pots or a small percolator. Enjoy!
The 25 will work for 2-3 people. The smaller 27 for 1-2, depending on what you are cooking. Both sets have an option with kettle. The pan or skillet is a bit of a pain to clean after a fry up, A lot of people swap.this out for the non stick version. You can also get a gas converter ( either Trangia's own or a much cheaper but just as effective third party copy), which speeds up.cook time, but is quite noisy. I highly recommend you source the Trangia pot stand. Expensive for what it is, but it will allow you to use smaller diameter coffee pots or mugs. If you like stews I'd recommend buying the non stick saute pan to replace the skillet. Same diameter but with deeper sides. I have my Trangia 30 years this summer, and one of the pleasures is adding to the set to customise to suit you. Still going strong ans still my favourite cookset. Good video and review. Enjoy my friend.
@@briarsmoke6046 Not pointless or unnecessary. Not trying to make me look smarter. Just trying to help make you look smarter :) Would you rather have correct information or wrong information, especially when trying to learn something? Have a nice day
I keep a Trangia burner as a quick heat or backup flame source and plug it into my Firebox twig stoves. I use the 5” titanium original stove for dump camp, and the Nano for backpacking. It works really well, and if I run out of alcohol I can use wood. I’d like to try this cookset, but the last thing I need on the shelf is another stove😂
Aah, and one more thing: If you should ever make it to Sweden, don't miss out their factory store in Transviken village. There is a lovely museum attached. The exhibits include trangia gear and photos of real historical use from the last century.
I visitsd here last night to search for your thoughts on the Trangia 25. I went ahead and bought it anyway; a few hours before your review! Anyway, I believe the Trangia 27 is a 1927 compact design of the bigger 1925 design, the 25.
Incorrect assumption! The 25 series Trangia stoves were named because they were the 25th model that was tried and tested before production. “Model number 25”… Same explanation with the 27 series stoves.
both sizes have a choice of with or without a kettle having a K suffix means kettle included the hole in the base is to feed the hose/ regulator of the optional gas burner through to the gas can
Incorrect... The reference numbers that are "even" come with the kettles. example 27-2, 27-4, 27-6, etc... There is no such suffix "K" in the Trangia line up.
Sixteen of Trangia's cook sets come with kettles of one size or another that nest. You can also buy their kettles separately, including a few that are designed more for use over an open fire.
The diiferent between 25 and 27 is the size. The big Trangia is 25, and can cook to three up to 4 persons. The little model nr. 27 is for one or two persons. Model 25 contain a 1.5 and 1.75 liters pots. The little model 27 has two pots on 1 liter. Nice video, and I use ony GB74 witch is a gas burner on 2100 Watts. The spirit burner is on 1000 watts.
If you still have it, you should use the yellow plastic bag that the burner came in for storage. Not only can the brass react with the aluminum but it prevents any any leaking of fuels into the kettle. A zip lock bag will be fine for the moment, the the yellow bags are made of higher quality plastic that is less prone to perishing when in contact with the fuel. If you don't have it, then Trangia do sell replacement bags for them, as they do with every other component of the trangia cook sets.
I have the model 25 and 27. The 27 is their Duossel stainless steel with the cooking pots and fry pan/lid. The two pots hold the same amount of liquid but are designed so that you can set them up like a Double boiler. Awesome in wind and one of the most flexible and quiet cookers we own. Love it. Enjoy this for a long time.
Blackie : How about making a small Benghazi stove out of a soup can, puching holes at the top with a hole puncher made for paper ? Half-fill with sand and pour in charcoal lighter fluid instead of gasoline. Toss the match to it and start cooking. My guess is that it will burn hotter than alcohol but be safer than gasoline. Just be sure not to add more fluid once it burns out ! What do you think ?
That is the 25/2 the big one , frypan 22cm ,kettle 900 mills, 2 saucepan 7 inch diameter ,1750 mills, 😊1500mills,, 6 1/2 inch diameter , . The 2 represents the kettle, there are 8 types of the 25 pertaining to to type of material for bowls and plates only, . Hope this helps,.
That’s a 27. It doesn’t have to do with the kettle. It’s the smaller one. You can tell by the fact that the holes on the lower windscreen go almost to the edge. The 25 is a bit bigger. To give you an idea, the gsi kettle will fit in the 25.
The 25 is bigger than the 27. I believe what YOU have is a 25-2, which comes with the kettle. 25-2 Overall diameter: 8 5/8"(22cm) Overall height: 4"(10cm) Overall weight: 2.26 lbs(1,025g) Strap length: 26 3/4"(68cm) Kettle: 3.8 cups(0.9L) 27-2 Overall diameter: 7 1/4"(18.5cm) Overall height: 4"(10cm) Overall weight: 1.82 lbs(825g) Strap length: 24"(61cm) Kettle: 2.5 cups(0.6L)
Go to the paint section of a big-box home improvement store for the best price. Among the cans of paint thinners will be "Denatured Alcohol" which has recently been relabelled "Fuel" at the one I frequent. Alternate fuels are "HEET" fuel line antifreeze in the yellow bottle only, or 90% rubbing alcohol; don't get the more common 70%. Denatured is also usually available from sporting goods stores who sell camping gear, but tends to cost more there.

well there Used to be
Hie Blackie,
If the lid/frying pan is 22cm in diameter, it's Trangia 25, if less 18cm it's a 27. Appreciate your videos.
Best wishes.
Interesting kit
Sixteen of Trangia's cook sets come with kettles of one size or another that nest.
You can also buy their kettles separately, including a few that are designed more for use over an open fire.
The two nesting pans work well as a double boiler or diffuse heating to make shortbreads or biscuits
Dang, i keep seeing more kit i want lol
The diiferent between 25 and 27 is the size. The big Trangia is 25, and can cook to three up to 4 persons. The little model nr. 27 is for one or two persons. Model 25 contain a 1.5 and 1.75 liters pots. The little model 27 has two pots on 1 liter.
Nice video, and I use ony GB74 witch is a gas burner on 2100 Watts. The spirit burner is on 1000 watts.
With that size kettle, it is the smaller 27 series.
If you still have it, you should use the yellow plastic bag that the burner came in for storage. Not only can the brass react with the aluminum but it prevents any any leaking of fuels into the kettle. A zip lock bag will be fine for the moment, the the yellow bags are made of higher quality plastic that is less prone to perishing when in contact with the fuel. If you don't have it, then Trangia do sell replacement bags for them, as they do with every other component of the trangia cook sets.
The 25 (larger set) also comes with a kettle 👍

Great videos
enjoy the Trangia way.
I LOVE MINE
I’ve seen videos on these trangia cooker's. I was thinking about picking up one for car camping. They are a bit pricey though.
the stoves can often be bought alone for un 20 bucks on ebay you can use a pot holder to try the stove out before buying a expensive set
This looks like the 27 based on the size compared to the burner. They are great little stoves.
That is the 27. I have both. Best regards from Sweden.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s a 27. It doesn’t have to do with the kettle. It’s the smaller one. You can tell by the fact that the holes on the lower windscreen go almost to the edge. The 25 is a bit bigger. To give you an idea, the gsi kettle will fit in the 25.
The 25 is bigger than the 27. I believe what YOU have is a 25-2, which comes with the kettle.
25-2
Overall diameter: 8 5/8"(22cm)
Overall height: 4"(10cm)
Overall weight: 2.26 lbs(1,025g)
Strap length: 26 3/4"(68cm)
Kettle: 3.8 cups(0.9L)
27-2
Overall diameter: 7 1/4"(18.5cm)
Overall height: 4"(10cm)
Overall weight: 1.82 lbs(825g)
Strap length: 24"(61cm)
Kettle: 2.5 cups(0.6L)
thanks
Good review Blackie, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Be sure to use the yellow plastic bag to put your burner in. The brass and aluminum will react with each other. Cause corrosion.
Keep the burner in a plastic bag or it will corrode the aluminium kettle
good to know
SCAB SENT ME BROTHER 🤘💯⚔️
Blackie what type of alcohol do we use in alcohol stoves
Denatured Alcohol
Go to the paint section of a big-box home improvement store for the best price. Among the cans of paint thinners will be "Denatured Alcohol" which has recently been relabelled "Fuel" at the one I frequent. Alternate fuels are "HEET" fuel line antifreeze in the yellow bottle only, or 90% rubbing alcohol; don't get the more common 70%. Denatured is also usually available from sporting goods stores who sell camping gear, but tends to cost more there.
Ya gonna paint it black?
😊
What are your thoughts on the Primos stove ?
i had one back in my backpacking days and i really enjoyed it
The trangia 25 is bigger than the 27 the 27 is for 1 to 2 folk according to trangia
Hey, Blackie. Where else can I find you? Especially interested in info you might have for cartridge firearms.
Can you use wood or coals if your in out of alcohol
I think it's a 27 blackie
Great designs. Only thing is a don't want aluminum contacting anything ingested, if possible. If only they would make it in Stainless Steel.
They have a stainless steel lined Duossal version.
No problem with aluminium. Perfectly safe.
@@xtremeevo thank you! I just looked at Amazon. It seems the kettle is all aluminum, however. Thanks for helping!
@@patriotpreacher43 No worries. PS if you get the GSI stainless kettle it’ll fit into the 25. That’s what I did. I have a couple of Trangia setups 💪🏽.
@@xtremeevo thanks!
It's a 27, the 25 is 1/2 again bigger
bag the burner in the yellow bag as meths will dissolve the aluminium and ruin the kettle.
Aluminum cookware will always be a hard pass. Cool design though.
Thanks 👍
Aluminum is perfectly safe. You have believed a disproven (factchecked, if you will) "ole wives tale"or far to long... Please do some research.

They have a duossal version which is stainless on the inside and aluminum on the outside. A great piece of kit.
That’s a 27
👍
