One for you, Rik - why does the KAP Arctic tend to have a quiet burner on? I find them less efficient and more susceptible to wind than the roarers on Optimus stoves, and don't mind the additional noise! Or is it just that - the noise factor?
Here have a fossick on this web site

The KAP is a silent burner stove which fits into a Trangia windshield....
The noise factor is the prime reason for using a silent burner...
... Shame - I always like the sound of a roarer - sort of companiable!
Wind isn't a problem in the KAP Arctic, but there's no reason why a similar set-up should not be put together using a roarer burner. I had some connectors made a few years ago whereby 111 bnrs and 8R bnrs could be attached to an Opti Nova pump...
111B won't melt a Trangia, its no hotter than a 111 or 111T.
That said I wrapped an MSR foil wind shield a little close to a Nova and the Nova melted a hole in the foil.
I've a non stick Trangia 27 if your interested Ged, PM me.
Er....
Oh, that makes me feel SO much better.
Thanks Rik, but I really want the Duossal version not the non-stick. And I forgot to mention I'm looking for a 25 not a 27. A 27 just ain't big enough for my dinner. :yikes:
But if you could see your way to pairing the Trangia 27 with, say, a Trapper 81 then I might be persuaded...
why ruin a Trapper 81 - its so much better than a 27 - or 25 for that matter, it's embarrassing! ...
