What Madness is going on with Trangia Triangle prices!?

[S7eve]

A couple of years ago these were readily available everywhere for about £17....a fair price for what they are. Now they aren’t available anywhere but go for crazy prices on eBay from £33 currently just the triangle to £80 triangle plus burner??

What the hell has happened....these are nuts prices for what it is? Have they stopped making them & now they’re like gold dust.....someone please enlighten me?

The Speedster wind shield and pot stand are better, more efficient and cheaper. He can make custom ones to suit any pot size. He added poppers on mine so it fitted the kettle and larger trangia pan.

Yup, they're not being made any more and it's a case of supply and demand.

I had my one stolen last year, it was the klikstand clone but they're just as rare as the Trangia so it's never going to be replaced

Came across this from Bushcraft essentials ( no affiliation /no recommendation ) , it similar but still a bit on the expensive side for my liking .......

Polymath do a "stealth stove" 7.99.

I got the Esbit version in the end as it was cheaper than the Trangia but even these are going for silly prices now

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Swedish army mess kits are far better anyway.
There is absolutely no reason to cry about what Trangia is doing.

Must have used the Polymath Phantom Ultralight stove about 1,000 tines. Great for boiling water but not stable enough for cooking, although sure it would be easy enough to add extra support.

I can see me spending quite a few quids there. Value for money and proper user experience combined is a great combo.

If anyone really wants a Trangia Triangle I have one that I no longer use - PM me

The fire starting kit is excellent, but they have nowhere near the product range of Speedster.

I use these for dragon fuel blocks and a small titanium cup to hold it. Fits a titanium meths stove the same as the Evernew ones.

Rip off Britain I’m afraid..After much deliberation,I decided shopping on Ali express & bought a Argos titanium pot stand( which takes a trangia nicely) for £17.00 delivered.ok I had to bend the tabs a bit to get it to work better, but I’m chuffed with it.
