I like it

It's light, cheap and works well

None other than it is meths

Mine was bought by my ex mother in law - it works very well I like it and often use it on days out

Meths burner that works.

Happily cooks bacon on the lid. Pan is usable. Lid for burner so no need to chuck unused fuel. It just works.

Soot. Can be sorted by a little water. Looks rubbish compared to a whitebox stove.

Cost me £6 from Blacks in the sale and can't fault it. Only get's used for the odd car camp when there's a few of us. Hard to fault but certainly not a hint of glamour about it.

Brilliant

So simple
Small - everything you need to feed and water you fits in a pocket

Not for serious cooking
Not as windproof as a normal Trangia

Great bit of back-up cooking kit. Super simple, reliable, light and packs away to nothing. Stick one in your pocket !

SMALL, LIGHT, RELIABLE.

SMALL AND LIGHT FOR COMPLETE SYSTEM. RELIABLE WHEN YOU LEARN HOW TO USE IT.

HARD TO LIGHT WHEN VERY COLD, BIG FLAMES IN WIND.

YOU NEED TO KEEP SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN POCKET IF IT'S VERY COLD OR IT WILL BE HARD TO LIGHT.
IT WORKS VERY WELL WITH AN MSR WINDSHIELD IF COOKING IN THE TENT BECAUSE IT STOPS THE FLAME FLARING UP.
IF YOU STICK TO THESE RULES IT WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN.
IT IS NOT AS STABLE OR STORMPROOF AS MY 27 SERIES TITANIUM TRANGIA BUT IT PACKS SMALLER AND LIGHTER.
IDEAL ONE PERSON COOK SYSTEM, I USED IT FOR WEEKEND CAMPING ON SNOWDON RANGE (+700M) AT TEMPERATURES BETWEEN -4 AND -6 AND IT WORKED FINE ALL WEEKEND AND USED VERY LITTLE FUEL.

GOOD SOLID DEPENDABLE MINI VERSION OF THE FULL FAT TRANGIA

lightweight (comparable to big brother versions), really solid, well made and no moving parts to break

wind can be a problem but easily solved by a windshield. Handle is not very good

well made, handy and reliable cooker for solo packapacking. Can sit on it and not break it! lightweight and compact. My piece of advice (as per others), get a lightweight windshield and substitute the supplied handle with the regular Trangia handle
