Its gas burner option and the included pot, pan, and windscreen provide an efficient cooking system for outdoor adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or new to camp cooking, the Trangia stove is a reliable and convenient option to elevate your camping meals to heights. My Trangia Gas Attachment Recipe Ideas for Trangia Stove Cooking: Camp cooking can be a delicious and rewarding part of any camping adventure, and one cooking system that offers both convenience and versatility is the Trangia stove. With its compact and lightweight design, the Trangia stove is popular among campers for its reliability and ease of use. Personally I think the Mini-T 28 when combined with the Trangia 27 Cookset makes for a perfect camp kitchen set up for most any cooking needs during longer trips out. I say this because I am an avid roadie and will often go on roadtrips for as long as 30 days or more. I ALWAYS take the Mini-T and the Trangia 27-7 with me for more extended days out. Trangia is one of the best-known manufacturers of camping accessories and camping stoves. Founded in 1925 by John E. Johnsson, the business has passed through family generation to generation and has dominated the Swedish cooking industry since its inception. In the beginning, Trangia manufactured household pots made from aluminium, but during the 1930s, Trangia branched out to focus on the development of products specifically for camping. By the end of the 1930s, the Trangia family had innovated their first camping stove system – a compact, complete cooking system that burned liquid fuel efficiently.

This stove will boil two quarts of water on just over an ounce of fuel. So keeping this in mind an 8-ounce fuel bottle will last you about 6 days making coffee in the morning and a dehydrated meal at night. Once you finish boiling or cooking, just simply drop the simmer plate over the stove and this extinguishes the stove. To use the simmer lid with the stove just slide it to the open position and adjust the flame to the level desired. The stove is brass, and very stout. It has no moving parts to break mid hike. I love the way the whole kit neatly fits together inside the pot and frying pan/lid. It can simmer, which most alcohol stoves can not. You can use the simmer ring to put out the stove when done cooking. It has a storage cap, so when you have alcohol left over in your stove, you just screw on the cap, and hike on! I have used my Mini-T 28 often. I do day trips, weekend trips, and even take it on road trips. When used for its intended use it works flawlessly. By that I mean, measure when, where, and how you are going to be cooking. Don't expect it to be the be-all-end-all of camping stoves. Or are you misunderstanding the point of the stove – I note your emphasis in the steel top but, which is only steel because the heat gets so intense at the top that an alu can weakens and bends (I tried alu first). Veggie Stir-Fry:Whip up a delicious and nutritious stir-fry using the Trangia pan. Toss in your favourite veggies like bell peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli, and some garlic and ginger for flavour. Add in a sauce made with soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey, and cook until the veggies are tender and the flavours meld together.

I usually take it on day hikes, or it lives in my car. It's not my first choice stove, for multi-day excursions, or complex cooking tasks. Trangia throughout the years have contributed to countless new solutions on the market. The company is located in the mountains of Jämtland in the north of Sweden, which is the perfect inspiration and setting for its development team to research and test the products in some of the harshest conditions possible, to make sure they are up to the job. This has been a crucial factor in the design of their high-quality products, to make sure that they can withstand any kind of environment that customers may find themselves in. If you count grams and ounces, this may not be the stove for you as penny stoves/Pepsi can stoves certainly weight less, but it's a long stretch to call the Trangia Mini 28 heavy. If you aren't a gram and ounce counter ultralight/minimalist hiker, this stove is great to have along if you ever find yourself in need of an extra burner—that's how I use it—as a compliment to my main stove. The stand is an odd size. While it fits in the pot during storage and has a good circumference to support the Mini 28's pot, its circumference is a bit large for those who prefer to heat water in their cup. As a reference point, the Trangia Mini 28 stand is just a bit too large in circumference to support a GSI water bottle cup/pot. About the lid/frypan: it snaps on for storage and transport. To use it when cooking, invert the lid on the pot. When inverted, it has a rebated rim that keeps it from sliding off in the same way the pot rests on the pot stand. Plus you can use the pot grab to remove it.

Environmentally Friendly:The Trangia stove is known for its environmentally friendly design. It runs on gas, a clean-burning fuel that produces minimal smoke and soot, reducing the environmental impact compared to other cooking methods like wood fires. You can also use an alcohol stove, the more traditional way of cooking, using a Trangia stove. Overall I really like this stove and pot stand. I did upgrade my pot to one that's a bit larger than the one that comes with the kit. I wouldn't call the pot stand a windscreen at all though, this stove definitely needs a better windscreen to be at all efficient.

Where to Buy

Things I like: easy to use, nothing to fail in the field, and I know how to safely handle its fuel. I also like the idea that the alcohol that this stove burns comes from a renewable resource and not a fossil fuel. The stove is quiet when operating and with a little practice with the simmer ring, you can cook all sorts of things.
