I have been looking for what I consider the best set up for camp cooking. I have a few different set ups including a Meta 50, Sigg tourist with Coleman 400, Sigg tourist with SVEA 123 and a couple homemade KAP arctic type one with a Nova burner and another (my favorite) with a Primus omnifuel with Berniedawg silent cap. Well I really like the even heat of aluminum but the durability and non reactiveness of stainless. I had read quite awhile back some threads on the Trangia Duossal pans and was very excited - that is until I discovered they have been out of production for years. Well, I just became a proud and very happy owner of a brand new set of the Trangia Tundra 2 set that includes a 20cm fry pan a 1.75 L and 1.5L (I think) pots. Have not yet used them but plan to very soon. Anyone else like this set???????
Any difference between the Duossal and the Tundra? Pictures would be nice. I have a Duossal and well, can't complain, does it's job well I got lucky when it showed up on Craigslist one day. Seller shipped it to me. Ron
I love my duossal set, can't beat it. I have my larger set in duossal and my smaller set in aluminum and of the two duossal is far nicer to use.
Howdy, DaveD, Well done on scoring that Trangia Duossal cookset! I love using those pots, as well as the Sigg version, the Inoxal. Sweet Bride and I got three of the Sigg Inoxal pots, in 1.0L, 1.5L, and 2.2L, after they were discontinued, for half price, or a tad less. Those are black on the outside, and cook very well, indeed! Amongst our most favorite cook sets, they get used more than almost all the others that live here with us! Great stuff, and you are fortunate, indeed, to have found such a nice set of Trangia Duossal pots! Well done! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Doc, Thank you for that and it should be noted that one of the reasons I had for choosing the duossal set was I had watched you videos and threads on their usefulness. In general do you prefer the Inoxal set more than the Duossal? is one better at gripping the pan supports? I am anxious about using my new pan set as it is now part of my Omnifuel Trangia psuedo Kap arctic (OmniArctic????). Dave
Hey, Dave, Many thanks for the kind words, Sir. In truth, I've only used my Duossal set with the Trangia 27 stove I love most, both gifted to me by a very good friend, and his lovely Lady, here at CCS! But, I will have to use it a bit with other stoves before I can say for sure about it's stability with them. The Inoxal definitely needed to have it's bottom scored, as you may remember, after the small pot gave me fits whilst testing the Muka stove. I had done that with the mid-sized Inoxal pot, and it's never slipped off any stove on which we've used it since we got it, many long years ago. But, just guessing, mind you, it's possible that the Duossal pots might be a tad less slippery since they don't have the black oxidizing on them, as does the Inoxal pots. One of these days I'll remember to check that out. Enjoy your great pot, and thanks for the shout. Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Hey, greyghost, I used a Dreme vibrating engraver to score lines across the bottom, first left to right, then top to bottom. It worked a treat, and I'll have to remember that trick if I find another somewhat slippery pot. If you want a photo, I'll dig out that pot and take one of the bottom. But, the procedure is quite easy and very quick to accomplish. If you don't have an engraver like that, you would use an awl and straight edge to get the same effect, and I'm certain it would work just as well. Let me know if you want the photo. Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Almost ashamed to say (given my love of all things Trangia) I've a new in box never lit...just not got round to it. I'll fire it up next trip.
Thanks Doc, I have an engraver and understand what you did. I just thought it was more complicated than that for some reason. Thanks again.
Para, Looked at the link and thought I found a location I could maybe even purchase another set ---- that is until I discovered the shipping and handling is $98 U.S. and 16% tax on topof that - OUCH!
