New pots are made for Trangia Swedish Army Trangia

Morning, 111T,

Fun video, and your little gal is as sweet as they come!!! I've never had the urge to seek out one of those Military "trangia" kits, though I do have a proper burner for one, gifted from one of our kind CCS members. Guess I should put one of those kits together, just because..... Thanks for sharing your video, and your stove and little one with us! Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

 

Hello folks,

i recently buyed one of the Miltec-Stoves for my Car-Kit. The Aluminium is not as good as in the original ones... weak and soft, but its ok for use. The burner-unit is also new, but trimmed to look used and old (its a fake "Antik Look") but works like the original... Maybe you could switch the screwable cap? The older ones got some damage sometimes...

 

There are plenty of positngs on this pot set. They are good for "destruction proof" kits, such as maybe used by scouts.

Due to the odd shape and very high profile of the pots they are only really good for boiling. The burner is not adjustable without tricks, so it is "Full speed ahead" cooking only.

A steel plate that fits over the burner can be used to adjust for simmer so you might be able to make things like stews and soups etc. Frying an egg is almost impossible without using half a pig worth of grease. The pan is thin so it will burn and stick unless you are very careful about flame control and the pan is too deep to use a spatula properly.

Alternatively you can hold the pan above the stove or hang it for flame control.

So, just a boiler and maybe "pan searing" set. Fun to use but not very versatile and that blue flame is blasted hard to see in daylight which can lead to accidents. And, it is bloody heavy if all you want to do is boil water for backpacking meals.

I bought mine maybe 15 years ago, something like 3 for $10 and since one burner had cracked brass on the cap, they sent me a new kit, so I have 4. At "$100 a pop" "I'm rich".

Just my opinion.
