Pot stand for a Trangia burner?

[Erbswurst]

One of my neighbours wants to go alone for a long summer tour through west Europe. A road trip with wild camping in the car and additional a little tent using camping sites.

The guy is relatively old and has a classical outdoor education, used to NVA equipment and east German civil stuff. But he has absolutely no camping equipment left over.

Because he hasn't so much money I want to recommend him a Lixada 750 ml stainless steel mug with bail and butterfly handles and a Pathfinder Bushpot 1800 ml that allow him to cook in barbecue areas over wood fire and to eat and drink directly from the pots without using a table and additional a Trangia burner, because spiritus is after collected wood the cheapest fuel that he can get.
Weight doesn't matter but because he intends to sleep in the car compactness is relevant.

Which pot stands do you recommend in conjunction with a Trangia burner?

I have a similar one in titanium for an evernew burner.

Why doesn’t he just use a Trangia stove and pan/s? The Trangia is stable, economical for fuel use and can be used safely on most surfaces. Using the simmer ring you can cook some good proper food also.

The trangia 25 is a great set. It's on the big size, but when you realise that you get two pans, a frying pan, a kettle, windshield and burner all in the same volume it makes a lot of sense. One of those large fold-a-cups fits in the kettle too, and the burner inside that. Brilliant bit of kit that I've used probably 100 times since I got it late last year.

I don't like such pot pliers.

I recommend to hold the pot in the left and the spoon in the right hand.

I have this type of stand:


...which is light, relatively compact and fine for a kettle or pot but the Lixada 750ml cup slips inside the stand, making it useless for that. In theory you can use it upside down for cups but in practice it snuffs out the flame. So I also have a cross shaped stand like this:


...which will support the Lixada cup and fits inside the first stand so the whole lot can work together. Some form of wind protection is also necessary but that can be cobbled together from other kit. Speaking of pliers, I literally use bent needle nose pliers.

I can't offer any advice on the pot stand, apart from make sure it's stable, but a folding wind shield is an awfully useful bit of kit with a small stove.

Like this.

The options in both last posts above fit approximately my idea.

Hold a 1.7 litres pot by the wire and eat out of eat? I hope you recommended a very long spoon!

Do you think that this here will work with the 1800 ml pot well too?

I use the Trangia ‘Triangle’ but there are plenty of aftermarket versions on offer these days for not much money.
My only caveat would be to check the diameter of the pot you’ll be using as if it’s too slim you’d also need a couple of steel tent pegs/nails.

i use the cross stand like in kadushu photo great for standing pots on

 

[Wander]

I've always liked the simplicity of those cross-shaped stands that sit on the stove, but...how do you snuff out the flames after the pot has boiled to save any excess fuel?
Is it just a case of finding a twig to flip the stand off and then putting the cover on the stove to snuff it out, or is there some other way?

 

[Rizla]

Twig is the way i do it
