Triangia advice needed

[nobby]

You could just sell the Trangia ( I gues some people would like to get one) and get an empty beans tin and fabricate a hobo stove.

I bought a Trangia at a carboot for £3 and sold it for £22 on eBay.
My 30 year old Svea 123 fetched £45. The bloody thing used to frighten me to death. It sounded like a Harrier jet landing, but it did boil quick. Not fond of petrol though

A Trangia on meths, at best, does a hot simmer.

I use a Trangia on my boat with the gas convertor. For cycling and Land Rovering I use a small Kelly Kettle and I'm making a sort of Nimblewill Nomad stove to hold a crusader cup and a plate to grill fish on. Following a hint from this forum I intend to use the Trangia meths burner inside the stove when wood isn't available.
If I have to do much more than boil water the cooking is taking too long :0)

Nope sorry I don't agree I get a strong rolling boil every time with meths

Agree 100%, rolling boil no problem at all A lot of people don't practise using the simmer ring, they should, it makes cooking much better


Nobby, you should have kept that 123, Optimus stopped making them recently and prices are on the up all the time
