Trangia

The standard stove set includes a base, which lifts the burner off the ground and has vents to provide airflow, and a windscreen, which protects the pot and flame (the latter leading to its Swedish nickname, the "stormkök", or "storm kitchen").

The burner is a small brass cup that looks and functions similar to a beverage-can stove, though it predates aluminium beverage can packaging.

The burner includes a removable "simmer ring", which partially blocks the flame in order to reduce heat output and threaded lid.

The Finnish Defence Forces use the Trangia, given to soldiers when needed and does not form part of the basic equipment.

This consists of a standard burner (with simmer ring), small wind shield, 800 mL (28 imp fl oz) pot, 15 cm (5.9 in) frying pan and pot/pan grip (handle).

The Trangia Micro, introduced 2023, uses the same base as the Mini, includes a burner, a single pot with lid, holds 0,5L and weighs 282g.

The original and bestselling Trangia is the 25 model[8] (or 25K with kettle) at 1.75 litres and around 850 g is good for larger meals and recommended for 3-4 people.

There are now many options for camping stoves, petrol, gas, paraffin etc but the traditional meths-burning Trangia continues to be very popular, especially with cycletourists where the extra bulk and weight over some of the ultra-lightweight alternatives is less critical and more than compensated for by the advantages.

Disadvantages of a meths burner include sooting of pans, and lower output power which gives longer times to boil, compared with gas.
