Great video Dave. I have found that the Trangia triangle with an extra sprite burner makes for an excellent 2nd burner for the 25 or 27. When you have 2 pots, a frypan, and a kettle, a second burner comes in handy. It folds flat and can slip right in a 25 or 27 bag. Keep making Trangia cooking videos, and I'll keep watching them (and trying the recipes myself). Thanks!
Morning Mark. I've been keeping my eye out for triangle just as an alternative if I wanted lightweight version. Hadn't thought about having two going at once. That's a brilliant idea. Thank you so much 👍
I bought my Trangia 27 in 1977, so that makes it about 46 years old and still going strong. I also have a 25 and 28. I rarely use the 25. I mainly use the 28 for day trips and the 27 for camping. A useful add on to the 28 it the Vargo aluminium windscreen which fits neatly inside the 28. A must have for the 27 if you want to increase capacity is the Trangia Billy 125-2.5 L which is exactly the right size to fit the 27 inside.
Another great review Dave. I opted for 27-8 HA and the gas burner. Great cooking system, still got the issue with the heat contained in the centre of the pan. But I recently bought the new Trangia Triangle well worth a try. BTW Mrs Bushcraft Dave definitely upstaged you today😂😂
Morning Dessie. Thank you so much. I definitely want to have a look at the hard anodised stuff. Mrs Bushcraft Dave always does. She's very sneaky in the edit 😄 👍
Good vid Dave. Yeah, a non stick frying pan is the way to go. With a little love and care, it'll last a good while. The hard anodised gear is a good option but you might still have “sticking egg” issues. Use enough oil and keep the burner low. Have used my 27 a lot but also like the small 28 on which I’ve cooked for two. A good addition we’ve found is using Trangia saucepan lids. Helps cook food up quicker or to aid simmering. Also their aluminium plates. On the the 27 one will ‘snap’ over the frying pan by placing it on the open pan supports. The effect is a bit ‘oven like’. If you haven’t already, a good channel to look into-“Off the beaten pot” created by a guy called Tom. Anyway, cheers for sharing your tips and jaunts in the country 👍
Good morning Dave. I've only got the trangia 27, which you made me buy last year haha when I first started to get into camping and I'd subbed to your channel (September 2021). As I'm a single camper I don't think I'd buy a trangia 25 as I'm happy with the 27. I do take my hard anodised fry pan and grips sometimes with my jetboil minimo, seems to work well (it also cuts off 300g of weight). I think the trangia came out in 1925 so maybe the 27 came out in 1927 and so on, just my thoughts and I'm probably wrong, but it's the only thing I can think of lol 😆. You sure you don't have shares in trangia lol? 😂. Nice to see them all together though. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you on your next video/adventure 🤟 🤙 😀
Morning Rich. You definitely can't go wrong with the 27. Amazing that you've been on this journey with me for so long. Massively appreciated buddy. Definitely worth playing with different bits of gear to see what works for you. Take care and have a great weekend. 👍
@@bushcraftdavetrangia for cooking at camp definitely duossal as it behaves like normal steel pans. But they are heavier. I find HA to be way more durable than nonstick while offering similar performance to duossal in nonstick. I want my 27 to be as light as possible though so i wouldnt want that in duossal, even though its probably the superior model in terms of heat spreading due to their smaller diameters. Both are much better in terms of usability and material strenght though and offer much better nonstick qualities in comparison to the base model. Nonstick itself works best but i wouldnt ever buy the saucepans with it again. Its too easily damaged. I love my 27 HA best for being an all rounder. The 25D is a mobile kitchen to me (which i expanded with the triangle and additional burner, making it a dual burner system to me.)
@@fallyn2920 And this is why I read the comments! You have no idea how hard this information is to find. Many Reviewers talk about the different Trangia models; very few people have experienced using all 4x surface treatments. As both Duossal and Hard Anodized cost double compared to the base Aluminum, your first hand experience greatly influence me. (You should make your own video.) Thank you so much!
@@roosterlab6040 the base UL aluminium series are great. They dent a bit more easily but since they are cheap, who cares. Especially if most you do is boil stuff its fine. HA is better for general stuff because you could even season it. I actually use my mess tin mini the most, with the triangle tucked inside. I even modded it with a hole for a steam vent and a double sided handle in the lid so i can sit the lid on the pan and the wood handle means i can fully close it now without it being a pressure vessel nor burning my vingers, boosting performance. I just love how neat and compact this kit is.
Thanks Dave, much appreciated. I have the 27-1 which I have updated to include, kettle, cutting board, non-stick pot, non-stick fry pan and a cover. So in reality it’s probably a 27-27😂😂 I also have the triangle and a 28. In the real world, imho of course! Both the triangle and 28 definitely need the additional windshield in anything stronger than a zephyr breeze!! Kind regards from deepest Dorset 👍
hey mate! Loved the video, quite thorough. Since you're in the UK I'd strongly suggest you try out the Endurance Lava 400 Stove. Long name, but it's just a Trangia 2.0. It is fully anodized, and thus stronger/healthier, the pot gripper has a spring so you can use it more easily and also use it as Tongs. The simmer adjuster has a handle, which has been asked for to Trangia for ages. The upper windscreen has vent holes, so you can literally use any pot with it if you want, and it won't smother the flames. The Gas stove hole is now a mouse-door style, instead of a whole - making it much easier to use a remote stove. With the Trangia it's annoying to feed a stove through the hole. I can't buy it since from the UK the shipping costs + import taxes just make it inacessible, though You should imho! There's also a discontinued Robens Cookery King pro which had a pot holder adjustable in height, and a whole to use the simmer acessory without removing the pot or pan. And the pro Version came with a Cutting board. I love the idea of the simmer adjustments on the fly and will most likely order one from wherever I find one. PS: I found a Trangia for 40€ for sale (usually 69€) and bought that. not even knowing which model it was, just that it was a bargain LOL. Has the kettle and everything.
I got the nonstick 27 and the mini (28) and I love them. I like nonstick because I hate scrubbing when camping, sometimes I do dry camping and I don’t want to waste water since I camp for 2-3 weeks at a time saving water is important. Love your videos.
I have a 25 which has become a Triggers Broom over the years, I've replaced so many bits over 30 years it now has nothing original, I am ashamed to admit this. But they are brilliant, I have a few alternatives but you can't beat the Trangia systems. Recently bought a Triangle for lightweight bike packing
Love that it has become a triggers broom. Absolutely as it was designed to be really. Just got myself a hard anodised fry pan and amazed how light it is 👍
@@bushcraftdavetrangia I think I'll be going for the mini, is for backpacking/camping after trekking and it should fit nicely on a back pack. The 27 doesn't look very backpack friendly but... it does hold more bacon and eggs in one go.
@@ZubiForce I really like the mini as it is really small and fits in a backpack easily. The only slight downside is the effect of the windshield is not as great. Fantastic little stove though. I do quite often take 27 out as it's actually quite compact still. The mini is also sometimes quite hard to get hold of. Best looking on the trangia store itself and if its not in stock you can sign up to be notified when it does come back in stock
@@bushcraftdavetrangia appreciate you taking the time to reply! Well... I'm torn! I can get both with next-day delivery (and the mini is in stock at a local store too). I have been camping borrowing equipment with friends and want to start doing it solo. I bought a 70L backpack and based on my experience with the group, I have bought a fairly compact sack, mat and tent so I think I might have the spare for the 27. I'm still not too sure if I'll be bringing chopped-off ingredients with me or MRAs. I might just order both and decide which to keep (Amazon is pretty good for that).
An epic comparison and a must watch for those who are at the first encounter with the Trangia cooking sistem and cannot decide which one to buy. Now that I finally got my T25-4 today and thus the circle is complete (I have the 25-4, 27-3 and the 28T), I got the answer for an issue no one talked about: do the kettles fit the other sistems? I mean does the small kettle stand on the 25 windshield and vice versa? Well, not quite. The small kettle stands pretty well on the 25 windshield but it does on the edges of the pot holders. While the large kettle barely fits in the 27's windshield and stands on the upper part of the holders and is totally unstable. So maybe you'll make a video or mention it in a future one about this small, but perhaps important issue. Because before I bought the 25 one, I had been thinking about this compatibility between the kettles and the stoves and I really couldn't decide whether to buy the large kettle or not. And luckily I did. Maybe it was a waste of money, maybe not. Time will tell. P.S.: I knew this video long before I even bought the T27 (my first Trangia was the Mini, then the 27) but I waited till I got the big one to answer myself the question). Cheers!
Thank you so much Bodolay for you kind comments. Good shout about the kettles. Definitely worth a mention in the future when I've got more to compare. Enjoy your cooking 🍳 👍
I have the 27 set. The lower windshield that the burner sits in melted! Trangia replaced it and advised me to turn the air hole away from the wind. If too much air gets in, the flame can be blown onto the shield and melt it.
I have a 2 25-2 Gas burners , they are the best gas stoves I’ve ever had. I use bioethanol as backup as it burns cleaner , my older 27’s are quite sooty.
Alocs do a gas burner to fit their Trangia clones, that are a fraction of the price. They do 3. A simple small burner (which may have been discontinued), a wider burner, which will spread heat batter, and a wider burner with the pre-heating tube. I got the one with the pre-heat tube. You will probably find them on Aliexpress.
Man that 25 set looks so rough, I got a used 27 from the 90's to restore during lockdown and the burner was far to pitted near the jets and after some scotch bright and slight polish it looks better than new even after a few years I swapped out a pot and the pan for a duossal 2.0 (still in the post) to season like cast iron and so I can have acidic sauces. I've also got a trangia plate, billy pot, multi disk and fuel bottle
What I think is interesting is that the Trangia burner is the same for all three and therefore with bigger capacities it works slower. I bought a Trangia 27 and think it is good but then bought the Mil-tec with a capacity of the Trangia 25 and the cooking is much slower.
Trangia's first storm kitchen became the twenty-fifth item that the company has produced, or is producing. Trangia 23 was the twenty-third product. Trangia 27 and 28 were thus the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth Trangia products respectively. Some model numbers have expired and a new product may have been given the old number. That explains the Trangia's seemingly different model numbering system.
That's correct. Does make it a bit difficult with the 25 as the heat will sometimes be focused on the centre of a wide pan, but the flame does swirl and move around. 👍

the reason its call the 25, 26 (its really rare but apparently it exists), 27, 28... etc is because it was the next product number in line

Nice. Look froward to plenty of outdoor cooking 👍

There is the duosal version. I got that version and it feels like it distribute heet better.
Thank you Lars. I shall definitely give the duosal a try at some point 👍
There isn't really a technical name for the gripper. It's called Tamoj in Swedish, which basically means grab-thingy 😄
Thank you. I love that 👍
Just wondering what do the British army cook with and have you tried to cook with it?
They use a folding metal frame and hexamine blocks I think. I've got some ration packs I want to use this year on a full day hiking. 👍

So this means that there is only one size burner....and the only things that change are the size and types of pots?
