ROCK SOLID STOVE

Ease of use, performance, easily available fuel, easily packable, reliable - it's not gonna break!

Food can stick easily to aluminium pans particularly if you don't turn them as you cook, whilst not exactly heavy, it's not the lightest either

I love cooking on my Trangia stove - it's simple to put together and take apart - and it's almost a ritual in itself (filling the burner, lighting it, putting it in the surround). Don't know if I should but I also like the smell of the fuel as it burns!!

MUST HAVE KIT

Compactability. Obvious functionality. Simplistic determined design. Strength

No real weaknesses as such. Maybe just that the 25 may be a little bit on the large side to serve as a family/2-3 people and as a lone walker unit - if you have a long hike arranged. This bit of kit is worth having in both the 25 & 27 sizes.

Overall, I would have to rate the 25 as a work of art.It's so easy to use and functions on a technical level in a range that would be compatable with walkers on short and long expeditions.

SIMPLICITY IN ALUMINIUM

Neat and tidy. Keeps the matches dry! Gas conversion kit is well worth the investment. Very stable and simple to use. Feels substantial. Nowt to go wrong.

Controlling the meths burner. Bare aluminium is a pig to clean if food gets burned on. Moderately heavy.

For ease of use, robustness, and stability it can't be beat. Must invest in a non-stick frying pan.

GOOD BUT ALUMINIUM PANS ARE NOT THE BEST THING

ease of use and compact no mechanical this moving that the pan handle is tres useful too

the aluminium pans are a kinda health hazard (alsaimers) I am looking for some stainless steel ones or non stick coverd aluminium ones, also the pans are a bugger to clean

a classic but moderd stoves burn faster however fule can cost more for these especially when maths can cost you less than £2 bargain!

AD A OTIMUS NOVA, AD A JET-ENGINE!

-Heat output
-Multifuel compability
-Simmer well
-Less weigt on long trips due to higher energy content in petrol/kerosen

-More moving part that can malfunktion
-More complex start up and packing
-Cost
-Weight on short trips

Buy a Optimus nova and get the best outdoor-kitchen ever made!
Use the alcohol burner for short summer trips and bring it on your expedition as a backup! The Nova fits in the pot if you toss that unessesary tea-kettle!
