Agreed. I always consider my Trangia setup the "civvie" equivalent of the above.

Great piece of kit.
I used to come here a lot.

Is yours the same as mine Dave?

Did yours come with instructions?

I just had a play and it seemed to work ok,
Instructions could read (for example);
A - OK to use indoors on a computer table  :tu:
B - You need bloody thick gloves to move it while its going  :-[
etc etc

Lol.

Mine is part of a Trangia set, in which I'll be making bacon sarnies on Sunday morning :D

There's nothing in the instructions about using on computer desks though - so you should be fine :tu:

if you slide back the centre on the cover you can use it to block off the ring of holes on the edge, but still leave the middle open to use.   It gives you a slightly more controlled burn.  Do be warned that it'll then be very hot so taking it off again can be a bit hazardous. ;)

Yup, so do I.  It'll make no difference to how big the flame is.

3/4 full is the maximum capacity  :P

You can use a small coffee can to make a windscreen/stand that is much like the mini-Trangia - Zenstoves

Don't forget chaps, we are knocking up a veggie stew for Saturday night :)
Please bring your own bowl and fighting irons though.


We also have a dog called Ruby. Just let us know if happen to be terrified of them or anything! She is a lovely, well trained, friendly girl who would rather sit on your lap for a cuddle or retrieve a toy for you than anything else. She a 2 yr old staffy cross who we rescued as a puppy and has been an absolute joy. She does beg sometimes and usually gives up straight away if you tell her to bugger off - we won't be offended when you do either! (She has been on campsites before and learnt the ways of cooking outdoors :))

Anyway, she will enjoy meeting you as she has a better social life than us at the moment  ::)
