The Trangia sets are brill - not the Solo/mini Set though which really needs a separate windshield.

excellent review, as I suspected the Trangia was the winner on boil time, I would never leave home without my Trangia burner, they are great for cooking or boiling up for a brew, great bit of kit and always have been

I love my trangia burner. It's bomb proof and gets a lovely patina on it with age.

I have tried my own constructs for some time now with great success.

Fits inside my GSI nice and weighs a fraction of the trangia. That being said. I'm more a fan of long term kit than super light stuff. It lacks character

Plus the trangia can hold excess cooled Meths (upright) relatively well. It does leek if upside down but still handy for breakfast for next day without fear of spilling.

Cooking that is, I don't condone Meths for breakfast...it's more a brunch drink.
