Swedish Army trangia stove

[Tagaeri]

Hi folks,
I've been looking at the Swedish army trangia stove (stainless steel). Can anyone tell me the volume of the larger pot and the smaller lid/pan please? Also, any ideas for removing the paint from the outside of the pots?
Thanks!

I've got the Aly one it's lighter I believe and cheaper. I'm not sure on volumes as it's not to hand but the cup/top is around 3 mugs worth to the brim. Approx estimate. They are great though I got mine from Endicotts and was asked if I wanted painted or not?? If that helps..?


Sent from somewhere?

There are various types about. My example is shown here for ID:

It's stainless.

The small pan weighs 341g. It has a ridge at somewhat less than half capacity. Filled to the ridge 280ml water. Brimming full 740ml water.
The large pan weighs 552g. It has a ridge at near its full capacity. Filled to the ridge 1340g water. brimming full 1590g water.
The weights include bails/hook.

Obviously you can't boil/cook with the things brimming full, and if I'm hungry (as I tend to be when I'm out and about) I find that cooking my famous corned beef hash with the large pan as full as is safe makes just about enough for a meal for me.

I don't know why you'd want to take the paint off but paint stripper might do it. The stainless pan is in no danger of damage from paint stripper, but I wouldn't suggest you try a blowlamp unless you're going to be very careful not to get the pans glowing. :yikes:

Jeez Ged! That is hungry!

Actually I've found that the paint comes off (over time) with a normal green Scotchbrite scourer. I just took a little off at a time, when I scrubbed it clean at home after use, and now it's almost totally stripped.

It leaves a nice polished patina as well - almost like pewter - in contrast to the gleaming stainless steel interior.

That's really helpful, thank you!

Just a heads up, Wilkinson sell the yellowstone/alocs trangia clone burners for £6

Military Markt sell the aluminum version unpainted.

Thanks. Looking for the SS one

blimey. My ali one weighs a ton, dread top think what the ss one weighs.

I've got one, think Challenger 2 and you wouldn't be far wrong. Still I do love a SAT (as long as I don't have to carry it ).

 

[Tagaeri]

Yeah, just don't trust aluminium not to break or poison me!

Don't worry about the ally one. I have one of those too its been used on campfires and gas stoves with no issues, think the whole alzheimers thing was disproved too.

I am not sure I may have forgotten about that

I have never had any trouble with Ali but unless it coated for non stick to make my life easier I tend to stick to stainless

The alluminium set's bomb proof and very easy to keep clean.

I agree, i have one of these from an army surplus shop and i use it a lot in the garden for brewing up. I never carry it up hills but often take it if im low down in the trees and close to the motor. I like cooking rat packs in it because it has high sides

Are they really so much heavier than, say, a stove, gas bottle and two pans?

Very much so, especially when you consider the weight of carried meths on top of the already heavy stove. I think the real weight gain comes from the windshield; it's a very big bit of metal for what can be achieved with a bit of tin foil.

But that's not the point of the SAT I guess, its completely bomb proof and above all as cheap as chips. However if your looking to do any serious hiking I'd look at another option, and I speak from experience on that one .
