Help with Trangia

Get the non stick frying pan, it's worth it

+1 get the non stick, and use wooden utensils or plastic/silicone. The coating is easily damaged and ruined.

It is pretty rubbish compared to everything else that's available these days, isn't it?
You'd think by now that Trangia could use hard anodizing.

I think they could use more modern techniques in the manufacture, but that would most likely put the price way up, at least to begin with, as all the new machines would need to be paid for

Thanks for the link claverhouse. Those things look pretty expensive.

Standard version around £50 (25 set) with P&P

HA version around £145 (25 set) with P&P

[claverhouse]

You can get them on Amazon for £63 and £86, 27 and 25 sets respectively. They also sell the pots individually.

Thanks for all your input folks, appreciated. Now i have another question............there is a gas conversion available for these units - the price is steep for me for the genuine trangia version. Does anyone have or know of an alternative that will fit in the stove hole and works? By works i mean does not sit to high/against the pans etc? I have seen many that look ok but tough to size from internet pics.

As far as I know, the gas adapter doesn't sit inside the actual burner, but has the same diameter lip on it, so it replaces the burner in the Trangia 25, 27, etc kits.

Therefore pretty much any gas adapter of a similar design, with the same outside diameter, should work. The distance from burner to pan isn't too critical, as gas is adjustable. As long as there is more than 5mm and less than 25mm between the two, you should be ok.

You can convert one of these to do the same job. Just need to remove the legs, spring, and pressure plate, then maybe fit a metal disc large enough to sit over the hole in the lower windshield section/stove carrier.
