Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Anyone know the best fuel for these? I saw some Coleman fuel for £5 
but figured meths is much cheaper but is there any advantage/disadvantage with different fuels?

I use meths in mine as it's as cheap as chips and works well. The only drawback is the virtually invisible flame during daylight hours usage however this is easily tested with a piece of dry grass. Coleman fuel whilst excellent is hellish expensive and I have personally not had any experience with it apart from when used in pressure pump stoves i.e. MSR Dragonfly or Sportster. I should imagine it burns pretty hot but will blacken your pans quickly with a huge yellow flame
Wouldn't suggest using Coleman fuel because of expense. Have always used Methylated Spirits in my "normal Trangia" without mishap, can't see why denatured alcohol couldn't be used though, could probably get this cheaper than meths if you bought it in bulk.matt-w said:Anyone know the best fuel for these?

AFAIK Coleman fuel is a cleaner version of petrol for use in pressure stoves. Methylated Sprits (or Denatured Alcohol, IDA) is the only fuel that should be used in a Trangia. I think Coleman fuel might well be dangerous.
Thatnks for your input chaps. Looks like it's the meths then which has a dual purpose when the vodkas finished (just kidding 
)

DO NOT USE COLEMAN FUEL in any type of Trangia
Very dangerous, as this type of fuel will ignite way too easily, its just an accident waiting to happen. Please just use meths mate.
I have now recieved the Trangia's and have checked them all over to make sure everything is ok (washers in the burner etc.) I have had to return one as there was a part of the folding stand missing from the windshield and one of the burner lids was a bit of a dodgy fit so I have taken all the bits I wasn't happy with and turned them into a Frankenstein stove for return. I should receive the replacement today and will begin packaging over the weekend to hopefully send them all out next week - this could be staggered but it is my intention for everyone to be in receipt of theirs by the end of next week .
I am now happy to receive payment so if you can also start PM'ing your addresses to me I will begin packing up ready for dispatch . I will amend the list to indicate payments I have received as they come in.
Regards
Dave

Meant to add, PM sent too.Bhod said:No, not one of the three great lies - your cheque really is in the post
Many thanks.

I, unfortunately, came to this thread late. IF someone backs out, or you have an extra, and be up for a trade from the states, let me know. I've an M65 field jacket, brand new, I want to unload, and wanted to trade with you, but, missed out on it! So, any extras, and youre interested, let me know.
Thanks to everyone for such prompt payment. I have received the replacement for the incomplete set and now all is well. I will begin sending out on Monday and hope to have them all sent by Wednesday (gonna raid the supermarket this weekend for some boxes to pack em in )
Regards
Dave
