Efficient product. Consistently reliable, compact, affordable. Ideal for outdoor activities.

I had something very much like this as a kid/teen/youngster and utterly loved it, boiled many a billy of water with it. Unfortunately it went missing somewhere over the years and I've always wanted a replacement - and here it is! The Trangia has a couple of things my old stove lacked: a simmer ring and a screw cap to seal it closed. This is great because now I can regulate the heat to a degree and I no longer have to let the fuel burn out or attempt to pour excess fuel back into the bottle. To my utter delight, I discovered that this stove fits nicely inside my 0.4-litre camping mug which means it does not take up any extra space in my pack. It's a full 100g lighter than my Doite Spider folding gas stove and a couple of small bottles of methylated spirits weigh a lot less than a small canister of gas (with the added advantage that I can easily top up a partially-full fuel bottle between camping trips - try that with a gas canister!) Also, unlike gas, this thing works at sub-zero temperatures. Utterly rapt to have a spirit stove again - it's like being reunited with an old friend.
