Superlight and robust, great for tramping, have only used with a normal gas cooker though but works really well.

Great product, robust and super light.

I received my Trangia 25-1UL today and decided to seize the day and cook dinner on it this windy Wellington evening. I put it through its paces with a from-scratch pasta sauce with risoni. I started sautéing an onion with Italian bacon for 10 mins, added garlic, herbs, spice, porcini mushrooms and tomato paste in the fry pan. All good and easy to deglaze. Transferred to the larger saucepan and added a tin of tomatoes and cup of vegetable stock and once bubbling added the risoni and cooked for 15 mins. Removed from the heat and then boiled the kettle (I bought the one that goes with this cook-set). The only issue was that I misjudged the amount of fuel to put in the burner and it ran out after I finished with the frypan. I was too cautious! Easily rectified by a refill once the cooker cooled down which was pretty quick due to the wind! Overall a seamless cooking experience in windy conditions - much less stressful than doing the same on my tramping gas cooker. The Trangia is super stable and seemingly oblivious to the wind. A superb design that’s stood the test of time. The bulkiness of this set is more than made up by it’s performance.

Exact stainless steel replica of the US Army mess kit that can be found listed on Army surplus sites, only this one is better. It's brand new and it's cheaper.
