The Trangia catalogue indicates there are differnet gas conversion kits. Or does one size fit all?
My Trangia (1 litre pot size) is approaching 20 yrs old, with no hole in side for gas line. There is an indentation in the vents however (approx 2 cm diameter)- I am guessing I would just punch this out?
Thanks
Mine is of a similar vintage without the gas kit hole in the side. I need to enlarge one of the vent holes for this. But until then, I prop the stove up on sticks or cutlery (only needs to be a few mm off the ground to make room for the thin gas hose). Or sometimes the ground is uneven enough for it not to matter anyhow.
