I use empty Gevalia coffee bags, the 10 oz size, with an air escape valve, for my Trangia [and clone] burners. They have a wire clasp that keeps them shut, or I use a 1'' script clip to secure the bag. There's room for a Bic lighter and even a 1 oz Nalgene bottle with more alcohol. Even the military burners will fit. Additionally, I put the burner in a plastic ''snack'' bag first. So it's double-bagged. Also important to stow flat, if possible. But usually, the fuel burns off. The Gevalia bags are also bright yellow -- which gave me the idea. Any brand with this style of coffee bag would work, but the Gevalia bags are yellow, and originally Swedish.
I think the common swedish practice for personal equipment during WW2 was to have at least 3 producers tooled and at least 2 active at any time - just in case someone tried to interrupt the production - during cold war it seem there were 2 producers in parallell during most of the years.
Used a M40 with DIY windscreen the other day. We have fire restrictions in forests but none in the deserts. This one is stamped Gense. Trangia alcohol stoves have no on-off control and are banned in some high fire danger places. Easy to smother I know but that does not count.
Hi, I did say it would take someone cleverer than me to do a link, but here goes, hope it works Trangia spirit burner - Trangia
The military burner is still available in the vintage section of the Trangia webshop. Spirit burner for the Swedish Armed Forces - Trangia
@Ed Winskill Yeah, we all bought them for pennies a few years back. Where are they now? Someone must have a lot tucked away. They are trying to sell them for £100 plus here in UK. Thanks @magpiestovie it hadn’t occurred to me that the M40 & M44 series cook sets made in the 1940’s were not equipped with spirit stoves Duh! The D rings and the bale hook for use on an open fire or communal range were absolutely essential rather than for use by the occasional odd-ball like me!
