Tatonka alcohol burner

[Mang]

There's a thread from about a year ago about this burner and stand.

Are there any more converts because I think it looks pretty good for a one pot lightweight...

Whatever you do do NOT order one from SailGB - worst flaming customer service I have ever received. Ordered one, "oh we dont stock them ....Tatonka will deliver direct" which they didn't (although they claimed they had as part of a larger order). Told SailGB (who are rubbish at replying to mail) who said "we'll sort it out - be another two weeks though". A month later I demanded a refund.

Over 6 weeks all in for part of a set I wanted and will end up paying two delivery charges to complete the order with another retailer.

Lurch (Lakeland Bushcraft) is looking into getting them for me - should have gone to him in the first place - I'll review when I get one - they look great - but only if you can lay hands on one!

I've had a burner for a couple of years (got it from Andrew at Outdoor Code I think). Up until now I've used it with a clickstand and it's performed fine. I can't remember if the simmer ring came with the burner or I got it separately. Once hot it's great, but the stainless doesn't heat up as quickly as the brass of a trangia burner. Off the top of my head it's about 1cm taller than a trangia, but the same diameter. I remember the burner sat up a bit in the clickstand. So more fuel capacity.

That's interesting about SailGB Red. I ordered the stand from SailGB about 2 months ago and it came next day - couldn't fault the service. It all fits together well, but I haven't used it in anger yet. I got an 8 piece folding windshield from Ebay to complete the outfit.

Yes I got mine from Andrew as well. I think I had to order the simmer ring from him separately - but then when I started Trangia only offered them as accessories too. Has larger capacity than the standard Trangia but fits fine in anything the standard unit does. I find it performs well, and is easier to clean than the standard burner, but it does seem to cool down faster.

Yep, gonna add them to the range soon.
In defence of the opposition Tatonka can be a bit slow from time to time.
