Trangia25-2 UL Cookset with Kettle and Spirit Burner

This stove is the best that I have bought. Use it constantly at my cabin. Will buy another just because it works so well. It's light weight, compact, and boils water in seconds

Product came with all components nested inside the windscreen and fry pan and in the box. There is probably little that can go wrong with this stove. This is one of the most stable and reliable stoves I have seen, I use to use homemade alcohol or propane burners. I have had them dump over in the middle of the meal. This looks to be rock solid, no wobble at all, easy to light, (I use HEET), if the fuel is a little cool to light, I put my Zippo under the burner for a few seconds and try again. And a small amount of HEET will fuel the Zippo to light the Trangia. It does have 2 nice size pans to cook in along with the fry pan. If wind is not an issue, the pans are of a nature where they could be stacked and heat 2 things at once. If wind is an issue, heat one and it in a blanket till the other is done. I can see where if taken care of the Tangia 25-2 will last many years to come and I will probably give to my kids later on. This would also be a good stove to use if the utilities were down for a temporary time as long as you can find some alcohol somewhere. I usually keep some on hand anyway. Do use the alcohol that is 91% or more or use something like HEET or denatured alcohol.

This cookset is just fantastic. I have used this now many times, both inside and outside. My grandson loves to cook breakfast in the backyard with it. I have the plain aluminum skillet pan, and have purchased a non stick pan liner that I trimmed to fit. Also cut a piece of cardboard to protect the pan liner and keep it flat. This works so well! Inside the kettle, I store a small square of scrubbie and a bamboo reusable "paper" towel along with the burner and handle. There is still room for a tiny bottle of soap if you choose. I had been considering buying a second spirit burner for extended cook times if needed, but this past weekend discovered that a homemade stove from empty vienna sausage and tomato paste cans fit perfectly inside the burner space, so problem solved. You can find the instructions for the homemade stove and many others on youtube, btw. The stability of the stove can't be beat, and the size of the packed up kit is still as small or smaller than some of the propane fired stoves and the required canister. Add that extra stability, and the ability to actually see how much fuel you have for cooking and you're virtually guaranteed success in every situation.

Super convenient kit for camping and hurricane preparedness. Fuel versatility is wonderful. The alcohol burner is excellent, but I highly recommend also picking up the gas burner. Much easier to control the heat when cooking steaks, etc. and it boils water quicker. It all packs away nice & neatly and does not weigh very much.I have tried other camp cook solutions and this is, by far, the best I've used. I would recommend to anyone!

I brought this set about 2 weeks ago, tried it few times, and I`m pretty impressed.It boils 1 liter of water in less than 10 minutes.Once the stove is filled it can burn about 20-25 minutes (used 96% ethanol). This gives enough time to warm up food for 4 people, or to boil 1,5 liters of water.Looks very well built, every pot fits perfectly, very stable.Previously I have used gas stoves, but definitely not anymore. This set has PERFECT winshield, weight is minimal when compered to gas stoves. With 1 liter of alcohol and this stove (about 1kg) you can boil more than 20 liters of water or warmup more than 20kg of food. That is enough for 3 people for about 5 days.I can buy 1 liter of ethanol for 1-1,5 euro (1-2$). Honestly 2$ (max), for fuel, for 3-4 people, for few days trip, is extremly cheap.And, of course, it is perfectly safe and bombproof. I had gas stove that leaked when I bought it, and believe me, you DONT want to see gas stove burning (not to mention my happines that it didnt explode).Very satisfied customer :)

Great traditional unit. Its like a transformer! Lots of pieces and a solid platform. You can use different kinds of fules and its very adapable....Good to Go
