Primus Omnifuel into a Trangia?

[Crank Cuffin]

Hi,
I have been trawling the old threads on this subject and understand that a Primus Omnifuel can be converted to fit into a Trangia.
I am hoping to get a Honey Stove for my birthday and like the idea that I can use this with sticks etc, my Trangia meths burner and hopefully convert a Primus Omnifuel to fit the Honey Stove as well as my old faithful Trangia set up.

What do I need to convert the Primus Omnifuel and where do I get it?

I would be very grateful if someone would post a picture of the Primus Omnifuel attached to the convertor and installed into a Trangia.

Thanks in advance.

I would be wary if running it on anything other than gas ...
I've seen trangia pans come back in pretty bad shape after being used with liquid fuels.

From reading the old threads I haven't come across anyone who has achieved melt-down even with them on full blast.
Although I'm sure its happened to someone, somewhere

Of course putting an empty pan on would most probably end in molten aluminium!

I've seen it three or four times.

Being a retailer you can never be sure your getting the full story as the customer is often trying to convince you the item was faulty rather than admit they might have done something wrong ...

Yeah might happen if the pans empty but not if there is something in it like there should be. Not to mention the omnifuel has great flame control so don't be scared off by the stories. I've seen it done but I'm not sure what people did but I know there is an adaptor for the nova.

Played with this a while back. The youtube video below should help you out.

My first vid, I know it's a bit cheesy.

Thanks John for the excellent video.
In it you have answered all my questions

I was ready with my cream crackers but failed to detect any cheese!

As you say, bigroomboy, plenty of flame control so it should be okay. Anyway whats the worst that could happen .............

Takes only a couple of minutes to convert. They will work in the small 27 and large 25 Trangia. Use common sense and you won't melt any pans but you will have the best winter stove combo going.

dead simple to do and works a treat.

Did have to cut another hole for the the control valve on mine though - 5 minutes with a dremel
