Just ordered this mate, arfter seeing your review 👍 Hopefully should work well for this year's winter wild camping. Thanks for the great info video. The Se Woodsman
Good morning Adam, Love the looks of this, tidy looking bit of kit! Thanks for the video a d sharing with us, looking forward to seeing it out in the field. Have a good weekend, Ceri and Kat ♥️👍🤗🥓 bit clunky mind!
It's all aluminum anodized in roughly the same shade of charcoal gray as Esbit's product line. I guess that coating makes it a little safer to cook in. Also, adding coloring to the methylate is smart because it makes both it and the flame easier to see. The best way to see it through direct sunlight if you don't want to hold your hand over it is to look at the ground next to the cookset. The boiling air generated by the flame will cast a shimmering shadow.
Not a little, but far safer to cook with. Anodized aluminum is non reactive, meaning it wont impart flavour, color or smell onto your food, and it wont leech aluminum as a basic alu pot would. It is also stronger - meaning harder to bend or dent. The simmer adjuster is also better than the trangia imho, because you don't need to remove the pot to adjust the flame and you don't risk burning yourself. The pan is kind of small though, and you can forget custom support or spare parts I presume.
You made some good points in your video, and i also think it's a good looking kit! I have this one, and a Trangia 27 will be arriving tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to doing a head to head comparison of the two. I would say, a fella aint hurtin' with either!
Thanks bud I don't think you can go wrong with either choice really. Love the colour of the Alocs but it's lost the dark colour now after using it a lot
Nice review of this kit, something to consider if you don't already have the trangia full kit , I will stick with my tried and trusted trangia which for less money came with a kettle, thanks
There was another version of this which came with the kettle instead of the frying pan. Being more likely to consume sausages and beer this seemed the best option of the 2 😅
So...now that you have had it Fer a year,do you like it,love it,or hate it?recommend it?and you should do a year of use review....loved yer vid.thanks.
Thanks bud yeah I'd still say it's a good bit of kit. I do tend to use something a lot smaller most of the time but this is great for more complicated meals
I've used a genuine all-aluminum Trangia for a few years with good results. However, seeing bits of aluminum dust on my drying cloth after dinner clean-up, I changed out both pots and the fry pan for nonstick aluminum. Trangia only has their original aluminum teapot so purchased an anodized version from Red Camp that was similar in size and fits inside the original Trangia pots. Aluminum has been linked to various health issues. I wish that Trangia would make an anodized teapot.
A trangia 27 or 25 fully anodized would cost me 150€ or 170€ respectively. That means this is if you wanted the extras this comes with. - If you consider it has a pot lid, you'd have to spend extra 10€ to get one with a trangia. 10€ extra for a trangia bag (although it would be a far better one). 10€ for the pot adapter for smaller pots (which this one can hold from the factory. The link provided costs 85€, i've found it for 77€. and it is on sale on TBH if I were in the UK i'd buy the cookset, which is literally an improvement upon the trangia in every way. The cons being a lack of spare parts availability (but you can use trangias), the lack of a burner plastic bag which is absolutely necessary to prevent the metals to react to each other and ruin the whole thing, plus to prevent alcohol leekage. The pot holder is fiddly, and the lid passable. Otherwise? Astounding value. Improvements: You can get a better pot grabber or add a spring to this one to use it as tongs. Make a DIY pot Cozy for the inner pot to keep foor warm while eating or to rehidrate food with less fuel. See SOTO navigator. Buy a Trangia Disc for extra 10€ - it's a cutting board, lid, pot scratch protector and a strainer.
How this set is going on 2024? Is it still on use? I have been consider to orderet it.. Would you recommed it? Sorry for my english. Cheers from Finland m8
Hi Adam, looks like a nice little set up, but I'll stick to my Trangia me thinks. What's the coating on that set?. Beginning to get a bit of an old fart these days so I'm always checking that kind of thing. Mind you it's a bit late for me to worry about going bonkers if I'm honest! That's why any pots, pan's and kettles in my camping kit is now stainless, as this is not a possible health concern, as for the weight I'm not that bothered. Good Video, look forward to the trial run,
My triangia came with a kettle , long time ago mind. I did upgrade to the non stick after a while but even though it was official triangia the coating came off dead easy , so it can't do any harm to try a different brand ..
@@MrWildWales just checked it's called boundless voyage gas stove. Cost me 23 last year. I think there's clips here on TH-cam about it. Merry Christmas
I would understand if it was considerably cheaper than the trangia but if not then might as well stick with the trusty old trangia. Saying that I have the same size trangia version as that but don't use it anymore cos it's so bleedin huge!! 😂
Looked at them before Only way they can compete with the trangia 25 or 27 in my opinion is to be a lot cheaper and unfortunately they are not soooo stick with the trangia I guess
Click bait LOL, Sweeden 1925 V China 1979. Rolled edges on trangia gives a distinct advantage time will tell the game's afoot. EKO Fuel BIO ETHANOL loads cleaner can be used in home fireplace with no chimney flue!!! As always thanks for your great content. 👍
Well,Alocs is doing copies of Trangia,sort of.Nice try,but if costing more than what you're copying ,and not meeting makers mark,I'll say no for now.🤠🇺🇲

Hope it works well for you I've used it a few times to make more complicated meals. Works great
@@MrWildWales I'll let you know 👍
I’ve used one of these (summer camping) for about 4 years now. I LOVE cooking on it especially breakfast on a quiet morning.
Brilliant for doing more complicated meals

Thank you it's a little bulky but great for making a bigger meal 👌

I want to order trangia 27-6 but the kettle only 0,6liter to small😮?
How many of you are using it one cup is only 300ml
@@MrWildWales i love tea , 1 liter to fullfill my thermos

Was toying with one of these. Aint used trangia type cookset in years. Can't help thinking it'll just get left of my kit shelf
They are great if you are making something complicated that needs a few different pans
Love the look at that set 👍
Cheers I gave it a go this weekend it works well
Hiya Adam, did you find the spirit burner damaged the hard coating on the pans or was it ok .
I haven't noticed really. It may have gone a bit more silver than before but hard to notice
It does look a good bit of kit but not sure the advantages over a trangia. Why do you need a lid and a frying pan. Cheers for sharing and reviewing.
Not sure its much different apart from the colour. Good point on the pan but the lid does fit that too
Nice looking cook set good show thanks
Thanks for watching

Some good tips there mate cheers
That's neat! I've never seen one like that!
Thanks it's a decent setup!

I still use this if I've got a complicated meal to make
@MrWildWales thanks for Reply! How the anodised coating is holding on after those years? There is so few videos on ytube about this cooking set.
@@konemies6614 Yeah it's not looking so dark grey anymore but still pretty good
What country is Alocs made in ?
China like a lot of other things

Sounds like a heavy set being stainless I know what you mean though need to be careful what your cooking in

Thanks mate 😊

Interesting cheers
Got this set. But adapted a gas burner/butane set up. Cost 23 bucks for the burner on that Chinese site. Aliexpress . Cheers
Sounds ideal!
@@MrWildWales just checked it's called boundless voyage gas stove. Cost me 23 last year. I think there's clips here on TH-cam about it. Merry Christmas
Alocs non stick or not?
Yeah it's not bad 👍
i like it !! 👍👍
Actually that's not the rag to clean it that's the bag that holds the pot stand
Great
😊👍
I got mine from Amazon today for 58$ the cheapest trangia on Amazon was 115$ and that stap is a pain in the ass
Thats great! In the UK the prices are pretty similar between the two brands
I would understand if it was considerably cheaper than the trangia but if not then might as well stick with the trusty old trangia. Saying that I have the same size trangia version as that but don't use it anymore cos it's so bleedin huge!! 😂
Yeah it's not that different really just the colour!
50usd delivered (if you're not in a rush) on aliexpress
Looked at them before
Only way they can compete with the trangia 25 or 27 in my opinion is to be a lot cheaper and unfortunately they are not soooo stick with the trangia I guess
I did think they'd be a bit cheaper but once I'd put them in the basket I was commited 😂
Click bait LOL, Sweeden 1925 V China 1979. Rolled edges on trangia gives a distinct advantage time will tell the game's afoot. EKO Fuel BIO ETHANOL loads cleaner can be used in home fireplace with no chimney flue!!! As always thanks for your great content. 👍
It performed pretty good the weekend thanks for the tip on the ethanol 👍
It's not bad but I still like the trangia
Good luck and happiness 👉👉👍👍🌹🌹🌹
😊👍
That purple alcohol looks good enuff 2 drink
🍺 LOL 🍺
Oh god 100% alcohol I think 😖
Nothing personal fella, but the only thing that's missing is a 'B' .
😂
Well,Alocs is doing copies of Trangia,sort of.Nice try,but if costing more than what you're copying ,and not meeting makers mark,I'll say no for now.🤠🇺🇲
Not quite a trangia.
£65 .00 is too much to pay- I would value this camping stove /pot set at £30- I've seen better at a cheaper price on Amazon. They all do the same job.
It has been very good when I've used it but you're probably right it should be a bit cheaper
