    Hello All,

    I have checked the Trangia website and could not find the answer I am looking for. I know when using the alcohol stove, one should direct the lower windscreen vents into the wind. Is it the same for the gas stove (and while we are at it the multifuel)? I assume so, but thought to ask here.

    Thanks in advance.

    The instruction is specific to the base, regardless of which burner is used. The intention is that incoming air will direct the flame upward to aid in heating the pan, pot or kettle, and not overheat the base.
