Having been impressed by the Tilley Titan that I recently acquired I was attracted by the more compact form of this Tilley Trio. It still retains the feature that drew me to the Titan, the grill, (meaning toast) and in this stove there is a useful pot support above the grill. The one burner could make me my tea and toast at the same time! Whilst perhaps a fried breakfast on the other burner... The stove uses the same simple screw on valve, as the Titan, to attach to a Camping Gaz bottle. The hose attaches to the valve with a reverse thread - which I can imagine might confuse some first time users, especially if the instructions have been burnt by the previous owner. The stove is in almost unused condition and is boxed. It would appear it was first supplied from a dealer not far from me in Oldham. Definitely one for Newark this year.
Hi Robert. The Trio looks to be in superb condition. Have you tried using a pan or kettle on the stand above grill and if so, how well does it work? I am sure I read on another tread on this site that it also acts as a heater. Is there any mention of that in what remains of the scorched instruction leaflet? Thank you.
@Chrispgreen it could indeed be used for either purpose. It certainly isn't as effective/ fast as the normal burner, so last year I used the normal burner to heat my kettle and the grill burner to cook breakfast whilst also making some toast.
Thank you for the info Robert. Would it be safe to say that rather than acting as a two burner stove, it works best as a single burner and grill with the option to make use of the heat escaping from the top of the grill and so improving efficiency? In other words, it is only worth putting a pan or kettle on top of the grill if the grill is already being used. Using the grill only to heat a pan on top is inefficient?
