What you have is a stove to take small diameter pots, like a stainless mug or Stanley Adventure Pot (the one with two nesting cups) when the silver top is on. When it’s off, then it can be used with a skillet or larger diameter pot, then you could use the simmer ring. If you run out of fuel, you could probably use it as a twig stove, or even use solid fuel. I’ve used meths burners for nearly 40 years. I bought a Mini Trangia for backpacking long distance trails (Pennine Way was my first) and days out rock climbing. I still have the original burner (still used) stand, bowl, lid (not used) and spring steel grab handle (still used). The burner still has its original rubber sealing ring. I use the Trangia burner on base camps and in low winter temperatures. That’s because I can keep fuel in it and carry it inside a jacket’s internal pocket to keep it at near body temperature, which will ensure it lights easily. For backpacking, and to go as lightweight as possible, I make burners out of pop cans (plenty of tutorial videos on UA-cam) and have stoves that can burn wood or solid fuel if I run out of meths. I take a couple of firelighter blocks, which are more likely to be found in shops than meths as well. If you wanted to go more lightweight, I reckon you could leave the silver top at home and use a couple of metal wire tent pegs across the top of the stove to take smaller diameter mugs/pots.
@@MickoutdoorsNo probs, my backpacking days are drawing to a close at 70, but I pass on knowledge, gained through experience where I can. My channel is purely for that and is not monetised. 🙂
Great video,Looks a decent budget stove minus the way you have to snuff it out,I use my Trangia Stove often great piece of kit,Keep up the good work Mick mate! 💯⛺🥾👍🏻
Another great video Mick Have to agree with a lot of the other comments though, that stove doesn't look the best. One you might think about trying is the Alocs CS-B13 (I use one of these myself, and with a bit of modification, ie remove the serrated pot holders, it works fantastic.) Big hugs to you, and of course Ollie
@IvanDP1967 Thanks Ivan, I totally agree with all the other comments and you, I just thought it looked a bit different to the other fuel stoves so got it out of curiosity, goes to show being different isn't always a good thing 🤔😂😂
Always interesting watching your reviews Mick Does the job without a known name and price to match Might be better saying blow it out, but that also is risky Happy days Regards Jeff
Fancy burning your new bag chap..... 🤪😂 The top stand seems a bit of a gimmick. You'd have to knock it off or measure your fuel so you're not adding too much. I have the Trangia type stove but I much prefer DIY cat tin stoves. The Trangia stoves are not the most efficient. Good video! 👍🫡
@steve3231 Hey Steve, yes normally if I'm on a camp that's exactly what I do, but if I do it on these vids people always ask me to do 500ml or more for some reason lol 👍👌
@OutdoorWithMike yeh my thoughts exactly Mike, I really only got it because it looked a little different, wasn't till I actually physically got it, I realised you can't you the snuffer or simmer ring, if you could then it wouldn't be to bad, but as someone else pointed out, how do you refuel it if you needed to during cooking as the pot stand is red hot and you need to take that off to access the burner, anyway it'll come in for something no doubt 🤣👌👍
8:45. You should only use meths or bioethanol in Trangia type stoves, not fuel with gel in in as Fire Dragon fuel has, it will tend to block up because of the glycerine gel in it.
@Mat-kr1nf just double checked the bottle as you had me wondering, but it's definitely ethanol, this is taken from a advert for it ... FireDragon Liquid, the all-weather ECO FRIENDLY biofuel & firelighter. Made from UK sourced ethanol, manufactured in Llanelli. FireDragon Liquid can be used in multi-fuel outdoor cooking stoves, and excellent for trangia cookers, as well as indoor ethanol fireplaces.
@@Mickoutdoors Apologies😬😔. I didn’t know they did bio fuel, I thought they did just the blocks, and a runny gel liquid that can be used for their military stove. Note to self….stop trying to be a clever sod!🤣 Anyway, subscribed to a fellow Northerner. I’m in Lancaster.😁
@Mat-kr1nf no worries Mat, you just threw me into a mad panic at 6am thinking I'd knackered all my trangia and trangia style stoves !! 🤣🤣🤣 I'd rather you mention it and be wrong than not mention it all, at least you made me check my info lol. Thanks for the sub and the comment really appreciate it 👌 👍
Thanks for spending your money so we don't waste ours. And thanks for sharing your backyard and puppy dog with us.
@CitizenJane- no problem, your welcome Jane 👍👌
Life has its ups and downs, but I'm guaranteed to smile whenever I see a new video from you.. hugs for the fam!
To kind David 👍👌😊
Lovely to see you. Great review as always. Hope you're all good. Take care and snuggles for Ollie xx

Cheers Michael, I thought it was a little different 👍👌
Enjoyed your video as always, but that stove is a big no from me. I am glad you showed it!
Yeh it's a bit all over the place isn't it !!
Always interesting watching your reviews Mick
Does the job without a known name and price to match
Might be better saying blow it out, but that also is risky
Happy days

@jeffprice2210 cheers Jeff, and yes your right about the blowing out, I'm that used to doing it on the felt burners it never crossed my mind 👍
@@Mickoutdoors always good to watch the videos Mick
In my opinion, those type of stoves are dangerous especially in my shaky hands... I have one, used it once, almost started a fire, threw it away lol

@loydhenderson6945 hey I put a pan under it !!🤣🤣🤣

Mate, that looks overly fidgety and clumsy to use. I'll wager that's been designed by someone who's never been out wild camping or cooking outdoors.

@Mat-kr1nf hi Mat, this isn't the gel fuel its the bioethonal fuel they do, and as far as I'm aware it doesn't clog the jets ?? 😳

Unusual Stove, maybe it is fuel efficient by not working properly 😂😂😂
@mrnobodieswildcampingadventure unusual and potentially lethal !! 🤣🤣
@@Mickoutdoors Wild camping can be a dangerous lifestyle me thinks 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Might go back to fighting 25ft crocodiles
That titanium cup is it sold as 800ml or a litre? I have been looking for one that size because it’s a little wider
I'm not 100% sure but I think it was sold a 1ltr pot 🤔
Does the snuffer sit tight or screw on to where the fuel goes?
@noreastpatriot6665 the snuffer just sits on, the actual lid screws on tight .
