Home made - Small Trangia

[Shambling Shaman]

First Thanks to Fred Gordon who planted the idea in my head

So this it the start of a project will post picks as it comes together.

The Bits

Basic Assembly

Get the Idea? will use riv nuts again to lock it together and most likely legs to stabilize it.

Nice project

Can you tell me the reasoning behind the bottom bit of the stove? Why not just do away with it and just have the wind shield top bit and a couple of cut down skewers for a pan stand?

Nice idea. The rivet nuts are a handy thing as well. What are the two pieces made from??

Firstly it holds the stove off the ground ( not so important here, but in extreme cold you'll have difficulties lighting the meths if it's too cold) and secondly it allows air flow through the base which should make the burner a little more effective.

LOL aiye, I know about trying to light cold meths . Saying that though the Swedish Military trangia burner sits directly on the ground hence the advise to keep the meths bottle inside your coat if it's chilly. It'd be interesting to read how you get on with it SS if you were to try it both with and without the base.

A 120mm fan guard for the top ?

leon-1 - got it right, the two half's will come a part and go ether end of my titanium mug. Will give it a field test when finished.

Neat idea, nice one.

Neat use of the Bushcrafters friend (the Ikea, Woolworths cutlery strainer), I like the idea that they will fit either side of your mug, so taking up less room, nice one , I presume the burner and a small fuel bottle will fit inside your mug ? along with whatever hot drink suits.

Nice one

That is the plan - how ever I am liking the hobo as fuel is more eco.

 

[Gailainne]

I would suggest making the top part as big as will fit your mug, even increasing it by making crenallations, and bending them in, or out so they fit, that way you get the best of both worlds, either meths or, use it as a wood stove. if you make the steps smaller and bigger from top to bottom they will fit inside each other while packed but provide more air when set up. Not the best of explanations but I hope you understand.

Ive just reread this, if it doesnt make sense, pm me I'll send a pdf of what I mean.

 

[fred gordon]

Firstly, thanks for the compliment. The stove looks really good and I'll be interested to hear how you get on with it.

This would be the normal Config.(900g) Full burner

This would be Extended Config (1100g) Full burner

Assembled 3/4 wind shield. Used a bit of Stainless Steel will use a light alloy on the finished one.

With the Cup on

Has the option of the extended legs for stability but it seems OK without.
A bit of filling to smooth off the rough edges and I can get it tested.

Thanks for looking The prototype might be up for grabs once the final one is made.
