The Trangia Spirit Burner is the original reliable bullet proof meths burner from years back, which hasn't changed in any shape of form since it was first designed. Why, because it does the job beautifully, so why should it?

Okay so at 120g it is 5 times heavier than most of our other burners, but it does have features which make it popular.

It has a large reservoir, so the burn time is well over 20 minutes.
It is provided with a screw cap, which will seal the unit and any remaining fuel for transportation. (Not long term storage)
It also comes with a simmer ring, which allows a reduced heat to be output.
It is sturdy, solid and chunky and make from brass so will last for many years.
It fits perfectly in our Honey Stove, either as a square or hexagonal cooking unit, giving alternative cooking fuels.

Using a flint and steel it is easy to light, and I've found a good puff will blow it out (although this isn't approved by Trangia). Failing that and inverted mug will starve the flame of Oxygen.

It does require a windshield and pan support (ie The Honey Stove) as this is just the burner only.

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.

Alcohol Burner.

Wednesday, 8 July 2015 | Peter

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.

The Aga of alcohol stoves!

Saturday, 14 February 2015 | Julian

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

well worth the weight

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..

I recently bought the "Pocket Stove," and "Spirit Meths Burner," and while I have not had a chance to use them as yet, I was very impressed by the shopping experience. I found the various pictures, vidoes and reviews of the products available very helpful in making my choices.
I ordered the items, and they arrived within 24 hours along with some welcome sweets, and a "Christmas Spork". I was then contacted to make sure my purchases had arrived, and that I was happy with the service - a personal touch sadly lacking in most modern shopping experiences.
I have already recommended this site to friends and family, and will continue to make use if it myself.
