The Trangia Principle
Design follows function
Cooking outdoors is easy with a Trangia stove . The stove ’ s unique construction allows you to cook a delicious meal in any kind of weather , including strong winds and extreme cold . Its simple , triedand-tested design – without unnecessary details that can break or be affected by the cold – makes it incredibly reliable . That it is easy to put together and takes minimal space in your backpack have also contributed to its enduring popularity among outdoor enthusiasts over the decades .
THE KEY TO THE TRANGIA system is its two-part windshield . The windshield ’ s construction keeps the burner a certain distance from the ground , ensures good oxygen feed and provides a stable platform that keeps pots and pans steady . It makes sure the heat moves up around the pot , ensuring maximum fuel efficiency . All these factors contribute to excellent efficiency and short cooking times , even in high winds .
THE CONSTRUCTION of the windshield and other components of the stove have been optimised so that the entire stove set , with two saucepans , a frypan , coffee pot and burner , make up a convenient package that can easily be packed away . This makes it easy to keep track of all the parts and pack it into your backpack .
AT TRANGIA , WE SPEAK FONDLY of our spirit burner as we believe spirits to be the most versatile fuel , but our Trangia stoves are also compatible with gas , multifuel and gel burners . You can read more about these different types of fuel and their properties on pages 10-11 .
