Trangia Spirit (Meths/Alcohol) Burner

On the heavy side compared to many other spirit stoves but a sturdy and reliable stove. The flames from the ring of holes are not large enough. It's easy to extinguish the flame. It has the facility to successfully reduce the flame for simmering. For me, the screw top cap facilitating not having to pour the unused spirit back into the spirit container, which always results in some messy spillage, is the main facility that made me choose this stove as this assures no spillage of the spirit when the top is screwed on and the stove is packed in the rucksack, coupled with the fact that it fits into my Trangia Triangle pot stand and wind shield. It cooks slower and is quieter than my gas stove which suits me fine. This stove plus the fuel and the Triangle is lighter than my gas stove with my two small gas cans (one in use and one ready to change over when needed) my gas can legs and my titanium wind shield with 3 small ground pegs. So, I will be using this stove until something new and better comes along!

I have used one kayak touring and walking for the last 60 years. It never fails! I have now bought one for my grand daughter who has similar interests.

Solid piece of kit. (a little heavy...)

A classic piece of kit

It works like a charm!

Great piece of Kit. Well made.Bought the burner to go with our Honey/Hive stove. Fits like a glove!

This is an excellent product. I have used it several times now, and every time it has worked great. Water comes to the boil in about 5 minutes for 2 cups, and very efficient on fuel. Would definitely recommend this for anyone who travels light.

After a five year adventure in stoveology I came to the conclusion that this is the gold standard in camping stoves and the only spirit burner one will ever need. It's not heavy in any meaningful sense of the word but it is definitely the Aga of the campsite, allowing me to provide cooked-from-scratch meals for up to four people in the depth of the Finnish forests as easily as producing a quick brew when and wherever it takes my fancy. A beautifully made, easy to use, rock solid piece of kit. I'd buy it if it was three times the price, but luckily I don't have too.

I bought one of these as a replacement for my last, which got left in Snowdonia. Solid reliable workhorse, built like a tank and will never let you down. They are a little heavy, but worth the extra weight.

Brilliant service from Rose at backpackinglight.co.uk. Cannot recommend this site enough.

Very happy customer

I've been using this burner for years and yes it's quite heavy. However the fact it has the simmer ring (which can be used to snuff it out) and more importantly the screw lid makes this piece of kit a "go to"for me any day. I will happily carry the additional 100 grams over the lighter burners..
