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.

Nearly 60 years ago I bought my first Trangia stove in Stockholm after working with the Finnish border patrol out of Rovaniemi. They used them exclusively in winter and summer. Now the original has traveled the world with me and never once failed as long as an alcohol fuel could be obtained. (Trangia will run on Polish pure spirit!)There is one piece of maintenance, a good clean once a year and my stove is ready to go fishing or tramping again. It will work at minus 20 Deg C provided it is warmed with a little priming fuel is poured around the rim to aid in starting; Matches work best for winter use otherwise a fire striker will ignite it. I now use mine with a cross frame to support a small pot which the stove and all the gubbins fit into nicely. There is only one drawback; compared with gas or gasoline it is slow, 4 to 8 minutes to boil 500 ml of water and a windshield is a must. On the plus side fuel is $7/8 a liter which lasts on average for some 3 weeks of tramping with 4 brews and 2 meals per day. One suggestion for prospective purchasers: Buy a Trangia fuel bottle with it, these make filling so much easier and safer. Bonus: it is tops for the environment. Does not wear out and the fuel is totally sustainable and probably made in New Zealand

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.
