👍👍👍 .. confirmed, length does matter 😁. Looking at your earlier test using the little 'puck' burner, the burner appeared to burn with a more 'blue' flame and the boil time was shorter. As I understand 🤞😏 the physics thereof, 'blue' indicates more complete combustion and thus a hotter flame? I enjoy my Trangia Burner but use it almost exclusively with the Trangia 28 Mini Cook Set that it came with. Others .. a series of 'home-grown' Alcohol Liquid and Gel Burners do the job. A You Tuber, Hiram Cook, some years back, did some quite comprehensive testing regarding burners, flame heights, etc. Unfortunately, I suspect that he has since 'passed' but his channel is still 'live'. 'Gear Sceptic' also conducts some quite interesting comparative testing. Both are well worth a look-see. Thanks for the share .. take care ..
That must be it. I have noticed that some jet style burners burn blue and the Trangia always has a lot of yellow. I'll have to dig out some of my jet burners and run some tests.
I hope Hiram is still around, he did announce a few years ago that was going to stop making videos. I really enjoyed his videos. I watched Gear Sceptic, very thorough and interesting. Way better than anything I could do. 🙂
I riveted sheet metal tabs to the inside of the Trangia pot stand that stick up 3/8 of an inch higher than the stand. Slightly bent out to engage the lip on the pot. Seemed to help reduce time to boil. I used a single rivet so the tabs can be folded into the stand. Might be worth a try...
With a similar experience with the Trangia T28 Mini, I bought the Micro Light with the gel burner and I add a Vargo Folding Aluminum Windscreen. I will use hexamine solid fuel tablets with it. Thank you for sharing 👍
I bought a bunch of surplus Swedish Army alcohol cook kits decades ago. They have the brass alcohol burner , plastic alcohol storage bottle, and oval shaped black burner stove. I think the oval shape was made to fit the Swedish mess kit.
I enjoyed this experiment, well done. Sadly I fear Hiram Cook has passed as well, his channel is full of good content. Gear Skeptic really goes into research and provides a great example of science applied to the outdoors.

Got it Size Matters…Have fun stay safe.

interesting hack, I'll have to think about doing the same or just use my little round tin burner or both.🙂

They were designed for it.

I hope not, he did announce a few years ago that was going to stop making videos. Sad day I really enjoyed them.
@@planetsideagent I hope you are correct
