Remote Canister Gas Stove suggestions?

[keithy]

I have a 20 year old Trangia and am wondering if they are still in vogue ?

Nothing wrong with the trangia kit. My No. 25 set is over 20 yrs old as well and I reckon is still a bullet proof stove system. I moved to a smaller pot and a lighter stove for solo trips and the convenience of using gas. I noticed that the gas stove does allow a little more flexibility than the spirit burner, even when you have the simmer cap on the trangia spirit burner. The trangia takes around twice as long to boil a pot of water compared with my gas stove. I've not compared the fuel consumption though, but there's probably people who have. My firemaple 117 clone stove consumes 12g of gas to boil 800ml of water at about 15C ambient temperature, taking approx 6:30 minutes.

Given this is a remote canister stove thread, in addition to the remote gas burner Trangia also make or multifuel burner to use instead of the spirit burner - http://www.trangia.se/english/2917.tran ... ories.html I've heard that one works well, but is a bit pricer compared with the gas burner.

I still take my trangia pot and pan when going with more people, but leave the trangia base and windshield behind as I use my remote stove.

Trangias "still cut the mustard IMHO" albeit a wee tad heavier than some however paired with a remote gas burner they are very efficient in almost all weathers almost makes me think I could have save heaps of cash If I had bought the TI version

Paired with a remote gas burner...I had no idea they did this..I'll google to see if my old one is compatible.

I have a remote Gas Burner which I used with my 25 year old Trangia 25/7 .

Thanks, great stuff.

To me the issue with Trangia is excessive bulk, and always has been. They simply take up far too much room in the pack.

In the day bulk was no problem for me as it was a good fit in my WE Pack back pocket ,no worse than the "blue foam mat" and if I was catering for more than two an ideal set up ,just wish I had bought the Ti version

What Ti version?

I think corvus is referring to the titanium pots & frying pan that were once available for the trangia...the pan warped straight away but the ti pots are good.

Well there you go. I have one of the old duossal sets but had no idea a Ti model ever existed.

Ive had the opportunity to use the Fire Maple 117T and Im very happy with it.
It simmers well, has a nice low centre of gravity and I can now use a much shorter windshield (carbon felt from Tiergear - love it - no pointy bits).
It all neatly packs away into my pot.
