Trangia 25 Kettle replacement

[Jack Bounder]

Jack,
It seems the solution to your needs would be one of Trangia's own kettles, as they are designed to work and fit (?) with Trangia cooksets (I would hope they would work with the triangle too) or do you have an issue with Aluminium?
I currently have an Optimus Terra 0.7 litre Hard Anodised Aluminium kettle, it does just enough for two mugs, the Trangia just fits inside, with a freezer bag with fruit tea bags...and lives permanently in the backpack......I'm looking for (probably) 1.5 litre for the beach hut, stainless appeals as salt laden air corrodes everything.......

I still haven't ordered an Eagle yet!.......decisions, decisions.....

Yes, I have the Trangia 25 kettle. I also need something a little bigger (1.4/1.5L) to avoid have to heat up two lots of water when all 5 of us are having a drink. I want to avoid unhardened aluminium. It's a pity Trangia don't make one in SS or hardened aluminium.

Thats my only issue with the 0.7 litre just enough for 2......but it does me most of the time....

Why? the health warning nonsense has long been shot down.

Trangia do a 4.5l pot you can pack the whole of the 25 in it.

Got it yet?

It's arrived.

And? .

I've got to be up at half four, so I'll post some pics tomorrow, but it fits in the T25 without having to lose pots and being smaller than the T25 Kettle, leaves a bit of added storage room. OK, it won't do three to four people, but I doubt the T25 would either and in any case I only have to take care of the dog and I so I care not.
Whilst it works on my pocket stove with a Trangia burner for lightweight carry, it will be ideal on my Yukon stove with the rest of the Trangia kit.
Overall I like it and Thor at Techthor has been first class throughout.

Sounds like it is just the ticket. Looking forward to the photos.

Just bought a well used outwell 1.2 litre ss, off an auction site. I will let you know how it fits the trangia 25, when it arrives.

Compared to the Trangia 25 Kettle





in the Tangia and nothing has to come out



And all packed away with the original frying pan replaced with a Primus Litech one

I'm getting confued (.com) Is that Stainless one above the Haulite?

Sorry Paul, the stainless one has replaced the original Trangia 25 kettle. When I said nothing had to come out, I meant I didn't have to remove either of the pans to fit it in.

 

[paulnb57]

Yes I realised that the rest of the Trangia kit was still there, just wondered which kettle the Stainless one is......Im getting confused between Haulite and Eagle etc......

It's smaller of the Eagle ones.

 

[paulnb57]

Ah, OK thanks......

[Jack Bounder]

Why?.....

Personal preference, I guess.

 

[Jack Bounder]

Looks good, beachlover. You pleased?

I've just had thought, yes it was lonely! I have limited experience with the the Trangia, using mine with a Trangia Triangle and a foil windshield, now, if windy and without the windshield the burner has in the past run out of fuel before bringing a pint of water to the boil, hot enough for 2 fruit teas, but not boiling, no issue if using a windshield. However I think I am right in thinking that Jack needs to make 4/5 cups in one go to make drinks for the family, so my lonely thought is; Will the Trangia burner, burn long enough to boil a potential two to two and a half pints of water? My concern is that ithe burner might not have enough fuel capacity to do the job? Unless the integrated Trangia cook system improves fuel economy significantly.
So in Jacks case possibly not only a bigger capcity kettle is required, but also a rethink on the cook system?


Food for thought? Interested to hear other peoples views.....

Well, I manage to boil two 25 Kettles with a single fill of the burner. This has been in relatively still conditions (see the Brew Up thread and the issue with midges). So, you might be right. Maybe I'll try an experiment with a pot.

So, the GSI Halulite 1.0L Kettle has arrived and it's looking good as a replacement for my Trangia 25 Kettle.

It's seems to be exactly the same diameter...

..just a little taller.

The hole is bigger too; the lid of the Trangia 25 will fit inside the GSI. You can actually fit the Trangia Trinagle inside the GSI Kettle with the Trangia Burner (you cannot do this with the Trangia Kettle or the Eagle Products 1.5L Kettle). You need to encourage the Triangle to get inside but I wouldn't call it excessive force.

The GSI will fit inside the smallest Trangia 25 pot, so you don't have to leave any at home. The spout just interferes with the pot, but the fry pan will still fit over the top without having to put any pressure on the Kettle

The GIS fits nicely into the wind shield, with no wobbling.

It's also a nice fit on the Triangle.

Given the greater capacity of the GSI Kettle, the way it fits with the Trangia 25 and that it can contain the Triangle, I'm pleased with this kettle. It's put together well and, so far, it's all good. I'm guessing that the boil times will be approximately the same.

Looks good. I like the wide opening too. I doubt I would ever need one that size for my needs, but it looks almost ideally suited to yours.
