Trangia:
Which burner should I choose?
Go Back : Trangia
The spirit burner is recommended for use in everyday situations, such as short
trips (a couple of days), especially during summer time when high power is not
required. The gas burner is appropriate for similar situations, but cannot be
used when the temperature is below -10 degrees Celsius. The multi-fuel burner is
recommended for more extreme situations, such as longer expeditions (a
comparatively small amount of fuel is required) or when higher power is needed
at very low temperatures.

The
spirit burner
The Trangia burner is an ingenious original product. Many have tried
to copy it, but nobody has completely succeeded. The silent burner
has a simple, durable and safe design. Regardless of the weather,
wind and season, it is easy to light. The spirit burner takes up
little space and weighs less than a gas burner. The simmer ring is
used to regulate the heat, which saves fuel, and is used to
extinguish the flame.
~It is easy to use, due to the simple construction.
~It takes longer to reach the boiling point (compared to when using a gas burner), partly due to lower power.
~The spirit burner produces more soot than the gas burner.
~Power of the spirit burner decreases with the decrease in ambient temperature.
~Fuel is widely available.
~Boil time for 1 Litre of water is 11 minutes dependant on ambient conditions.
