- The Trangia Micro is the much anticipated new release from Trangia. I have had mine for a couple of weeks now and I've been putting it to the test, cooking up tasty hiking meals while in the great outdoors!
What better way to test this new camping stove than cooking up a traditional Swedish Meal.

Good review, we’ll balanced and a great new recipe to try too. I agree it looks great in red, I think I’ll go for that too - enough of my gear is black, let’s have a splash of colour! Been looking forward to seeing this review, hoping to see this set again in a future video.
Thank you!
The red will be a handsome edition to your arsenal.
And I will be using this a lot more. Though I think pairing it with the triangle. Maybe. Not decided.
I would have reviewed it sooner but I ordered the wrong sodding thing from Trangia and then life got busy.
Can’t wait to see you use it with one of your recipes. 👍
Cheers Thom... great review of a good lil piece of kit
It is a handy little thing.
Great review Tom! Keep up the good work 🙂
Thank you. I shall try!
Just ordered a micro to add to my Trangia kit. I’m still reeling at the idea of cold soak pasta, and so your recent videos have got me fired up again to cook real food outdoors again. Thanks for the inspiration Thom 👍 Cheers Pete
Aaaah you’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Let me know how you get on
It's amazing that you can cook a meal like that on such a simple stove.
With a bit of thought it’s very easy to eat well outdoors. That’s what I’m all about!!
And thank you for your comment.
Glad to see your handle arrived! Great video, I’ve only cooked coffee and soup in my so far (not at the same time) but I think now I’ll have to go and try something more adventurous…
Coffee and soup at the same time would be great to see! I think I know how to do it as well. 🤔
Neat. Just ordered mine directly from the Trangia webshop this week as I can't get then out here in Malaysia. Due to arrive on monday (16 Oct). Nice for my short day trips to my local woods and good partner for my Trangia Mini. Love my Trangia stoves and accessories. Tough as old boots and lasts for ages👍. Loved the video and your cooking ideas. ATVB from a Brit expat living in sunny 🇲🇾
You won’t be disappointed. The fixed handle is a game changer.
Thanks so much for being here!
Great review - thanks! And I agree that it’s a really handy piece of equipment. I intended to use mine mostly for water, tea and coffee, but nice to see that you can actually cook on it, as well.
And with the modularity of all Trangia products, it’s good to be able to use it with Esbit tabs, gel, spirit or gas (on the Triangle, where it actually fits perfectly). And now Trangia actually has several light and small-sized options for those who want to just boil water or cook the most basic stuff: Micro, Mini, small mess tin + triangle and kettle + triangle. All good options.
And if you store it in a small storage bag, which I always do, then bringing the mini’s frying pan is really practical and doesn’t take too much space.
Agreed!
And thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
thank you for the great review, I have ordered just the pot from Trangia because, lucky me picked up a brand new mini set at a car boot sale a few years back for £5.00 with an extra wind shield and burner. Looking forward to it arriving and trying out this recipe.
That’s a bargain!!!
I did the same. Except the postage from Sweden is killer so I justified it by ordering a whole heap of stuff.
Great recipe idea for a tiny pot Thom. Your fried egg was a triumph! Thanks for an honest review.
Thank you!
This is actually excellent Norwegian pronunciation 👏 Great video, looks like a fun little stove!
It seems like everyone I saw on UA-cam was saying it so differently!
Thank you for watching!
Great vid thank you
Having a permanent handle is great, for the reasons you mention with the mini. I heard the more substantial handle of the larger set will grip in the mini, thats something im gonna look into.
The handle has been great. One less thing to lose!
Excellent review...prob a bit small for me...I already have the mini and love it... definitely give that meal a go...thanks
It’s small!
But that meal is a winner!
Nice review! And was just served your video thanks to a shared interest in these Trangias. Looking forward to trying some of your recipes.
If Trangia would just make a thin windscreen that could wrap up and stow away inside the micro pot! Easy enough to make from a large soda or beer can, though. Ah well. Then we’d run out of complaints for Trangia.
I could recommend some titanium pans from Toaks or Evernew, but trying to cook in Ti pans is such a horrible experience.
I have a video on Ti pans that might help.
And thanks for coming over and taking a look at the channel. I really appreciate it.
A trangia windshield would be amazing.
I wonder why they haven’t done that yet. Especially as it’s the windshield on their larger models that makes them so incredible.
Thanks for sharing, it looks like a natty little cookset. I liked your description of it being an analog version of the jetboil! And i guess that water boiling was the principal design purpose for this product. I like the look of it, but personally I think I'll stick with my Trangia mini as it seems better suited to cooking. I'm down in the west country on holiday at the mo and have the Trangia Mini packed for a Dartmoor wild camp. Mac n Cheese is on the menu and none of that nasty stuff from a tin/packet!!
Thanks as always for the culinary inspiration 👍
Your menu sounds great. And you seem to have the best weather!!
Thanks for watching as ever!
love my 27 i am 64 now , no stability issues with the 27 and its almost stormproof. if i was 18 i would give the micro a go , Great review
I live my 27 as well.
Probably the most stalwart and consistent stove ever made.
Looks good! I like the micro I just don’t know if I’d ever rather take the micro instead of the mini if I’m going small. What I’d really love to see is trangia make is a slightly smaller kettle that I could fit inside the mini if you take out the burner stand. That way you could have a pot, small kettle, and small fry pan and just use the triangle as the stove stand. Still a great addition to the trangia lineup though 👍
I agree.
I think if they added a pan I would take it. That said. The mini is ready to go! And when paired with a small pot gripper like one from msr it’s perfect.
A mini kettle or second smaller pot would be great to make the mini that little bit extra.
Just got the micro myself. Not used it yet but love it’s compactness and will complement the mini. About a possible frying pan. After watching your vid I’ve just gone through my gear and found that the lid of a Snowpeak pot works well. It’ll need a strap etc as it doesn’t have the ‘click’ factor. The pot size for the Snowpeak is their 32oz. I got mine from Wildbounds, I think.
Oooh stumpy trumpet. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll look into that.
Cool version on the pyttipanna Thom! And I think You pronounced it very good or actually excellent. Should have been there and tested your version. Best outdoor version i habe made my self, was with smoked and salted lamb steak cubed down in the pyttipanna. Tried with sweet potato but that wasn't a favorite though. Otherwise very similar. Good to see that it worked to fry an egg as well. I'm going to season my Micro pot. Great vid my friend and fun to popp up in it 😅.
THANK YOU so much for playing along and having another cameo in a video.
I really love this dish, it is so versatile and I can see already what I will add and how it can change. The cured sausage works well and I imagine this dish would hold herbs and flavours very well!
@@OffTheBeatenPotMy pleasure to figurate in you inspiring videos. A great thing with dried Spice sausages is that it stays healthy in the backpack för a very long time. Good for beer as well ☝️😁 Cheers!
@@Braapncampthanks for being a good sport and saying yes!
And you’re right about the sausage. It goes well with beer and lasts a lot longer than the beer does on the trail.
Have the kettle and two pots version ( 27 I think) and love it. Don’t mind carrying the extra weight camping as I love to find any excuse to use my Trangia set. Does the beetroot stain ?
I love the 27. It really promotes and gives the opportunity to cook and eat well.
The beetroot didn’t stain the pot. But when I went to the bathroom the next day I forgot I ate it and thought I was dying.
I like the portable nature of the stove and cooking pot and the fact that it makes a meal just for one so saves carrying a massive amount of ingredients. I haven't cooked it myself yet but it's definitely something I can do. No Gordon Ramsey qualifications needed
Let me know what you do cook up when you get your chance!
That set-up is similar to the Evernew Appalachian Set with a few significant differences. The Evernew set is titanium and weighs 200 Grams. The burner stand can take Esbit tablets, twigs, or the spirit burner. It is really efficient in it's use of fuel and a bit better wind protected. 500ml pot is rimmed to fit the stand. If I had your Trangia set I wouldn't switch, but I do have the Evernew and won't switch.
I will never turn down the opportunity to try a new cookset!
Thanks for the heads up.
You can buy a different burner for this that takes twigs/gel/ tabs. But I’d be very interested to see the windshield difference because that does let this one down just a little
Good pronunciation White a little english accent.🙂 and a very good review i have to try pyttipanna!
Thanks! It’s a great recipe. I’m looking forward to hearing how you make yours.
Would the trangia micro sit inside the transit mini frypan? I'm thinking exactly what you expressed, the fry pan would make it just that much better. Also, would love to see a micro that could sit inside a Trangia kettle. Thanks for the video, enjoy them all. Cheers from Tasmania.
It pokes out of the top unfortunately. And I agree about the kettle. Though I always envisioned it being a tiny kettle into the mini pot. Maybe your idea makes more sense!
Hello from Cornwall.
I have two 27s and a Mini. I am quite interested in this pan which can be bought separately so that the burner and stand from the Mini can become a Micro. However, the stand borders on dangerous in the wrong conditions. I've had a run away "jet engine" with flames to waist height. Once you start to carry a separate windshield, you may as well carry a 27 and just leave out the bits you don't think you'll use.
I hear what you saying. I’ve not had it quite severe but it can flare up.
I would disagree with you in the wind shield. Mine folds up so small that it’s no inconvenience whatsoever to use. And it does make a difference to the small flame thrower effect.
But as you already own an arsenal of Trangia stoves. I understand why you may not want to get one.
I ordered the pot only. But beware. There are two pots. One with a handle. One without. I ordered incorrectly the first time
I'll add to my own comment, this video just inspired me to get my Mini out and boil up some water on the patio. (I use my 27 several times a year for cooking on my dinghy.) Even with barely any perceptible wind, I had to watch the flames. However, once the water was more or less boiling, I experimented a bit more with the simmer ring. On the Min (and therefore on the Micro) with no windshield, the trick appears to be be "brutal" use of the simmer ring. The lack of a windshield increases the flames, the simmer ring reduces them, and there is a sweet spot somewhere in the middle where you get to make your coffee AND keep your eyebrows.
@mikefule330 exactly that. And you’ve nicely illustrated the point that it’s important to try things out at home first.
I like mine. I managed to get into it a remote feed alcohol stove with simmer ring from Batchstovez.
One 2 ounce bottle of fuel for the remote feed, and two 1/2oz bottles of alcohol.
One 5ml bottle of dish soap
An Aluminium windscreen I cut out of a msr windscreen so like the super heavy duty foil.
And 1/4 a bandana
An atleast by feel. Feels around the same weight as it originally was but has the ability to have 3oz of fuel an soap in it an the bandanna.
Probably still has just enough room for a mini bic lighter
I’d like to see that set up! That’s next level!
@@OffTheBeatenPot I’m not really a video person. But maybe this evening I’ll snap some photos of it packed an unpacked an set up an what not. An stick up a short or something like that. An figure out how to link it some way.
@aquaboss1750 you can email me or send it over Instagram if you have it?
Looks like a good little cook set. I dont suppose it would nest with the Trangia mini? That would make it very useful!
Unfortunately it’s too tall. But it is compatible with other cooksets (27 etc)
Update.... I've just ordered one for my secret santa to myself. Can't wait to get it.
@dougdixonhull haha!!!! It’s a lovely little set and I think you’ll enjoy it.
Please let me know what you get up to with it.
Will the micro pot nestle in the mini? (Without its handle or lid if need be). Seems like it would be a useful variation and fill an unused space. (Nice to be able to make brew or two and cook at approximately the same time without washing up).
Unfortunately not. It is too tall.
But you could use a strap or a band as it will fit (diameter wise). It would negate the nice ‘clip on’ lid of the mini and make it all generally bigger.
@@OffTheBeatenPot I bought one anyway direct from Trangia "pot micro" that has no handle on it... The lid of the mini won't quite click with the extra pot inside...but I bought the Trangia orange bag for the micro, and the mini with the extra pot inside and the mini's handle in the bag too is a snug fit (like it was made for it!) and keeps nicely together with no rattles and no significant increase in bulk. (No risk of soot either). Chuffed .🙂
That is AWESOME!
Thanks for the heads up. I’m trying that’s soon as I get home.
Can't workout how to download the cook book frustratingly
That’s annoying.
Did you sign up to the mailing list?
If so. Please email me and I can email you the cookbook.
What's the name of your jacket great video
Thanks you.
It’s the fjallraven bergatargen
Great review, love your videos. Compared to the mini I'm not sure why they've made the micro. If they made one smaller than the micro it would just be good for boiling an egg it would be that small !. Why did they bother making one so small (the micro) unless it's for the tiny amount of people where the difference between the mini and the micro is that huge they would go for the micro ?? 🙂
I think it’s just to ‘compete’ with jetboil tho stoves. Same capacity but with a silent burner.
For those not in a hurry. But as you know I’m not one for ripping open packets to reheat so I wanted to test it.
Personally I like it. Though I feel a more robust pit grip with the mini might have been the way.
I’ll be using mine a lot more. Mostly because I need to eat less!
Like you r spud pots.
Tragia i would say its a bit to small. Depends on your intentions i guess. I have a tragia 27 /2.
Its just big enough for most things. Added a few bits not heavy, can go in pocket or pack.
Used for one person really.
It’s definitely tiny. Micro in fact! I think the Mini and the 27 have more versatility but I’m impressed enough with this one.
…I wonder if your dad’s Primus frying pan would fit under the Trangia?
I was thinking the same thing but I couldn’t for the life of me remember who owned it!!! ! I’ll have to ask him to measure it. Thanks!
Trangia .. can it cook a saw saug .. and how long can it be .
Max length of saw sage ? Perhaps cut the tops off them .
It can cook a sausage. But yes. You’d have to shorten it to fit it in.
Or like I did mine, chop it into bits.
@@OffTheBeatenPot
Max fill about two or three chopped saussy . And the oils off a chopped sausages makes it tasty .
Cheers
@@lifesahobby more it they’re chipolatas.
Thanks for your video. Honestly I don't like the micro at all. It is basically a cup with a lid. I never liked those small cooking pots. For me, it is just too small. You could compare it with any of these titanium cups. I am a bit disapointed, that trangia did not build a nice kit that includes a propper windscreen. Here in Germany we have a few and I even built my own once. Just a foldable windscreen that doubles as a stand. I mean they know how to built good stuff. I love my 27 doussal set, but the micro looks like a toy they needed to get on the market to compete in the ultralight segment.
And I have another question. Do you think of a frying pan, matching the diameter of the micro? I can not imagine to fit more that half an egg inside. But I honestly never use the pan on my 27 either so I am not the right person to just. I am just curious.
All great points.
I love this set. But I do wish, as you say, there was innovation in the pot stand.
The triangle is a reasonable stand. But I also like it to fit inside the pot.
Although a pan for this would be tiny. I think it would be welcome for frying a few things up.
No doubt the Vargo windshield will fit inside the pot on top of the burner.
It snuggles it together very well and does a good job of protecting the flames from the wind. And getting it really close deflects some heat back which is a bonus!
Mmmm
You can buy an orange micro bag to that one
Nice! My lively mum is making me one that has a tab for my gerber compleat. I haven’t told her yet!
When are you giving that jacket away for a competition? 😅
When Fjallraven sponsor me to review something. Or something!!
It’s a lovely jacket.
Nice recipe Thom - except for the pickled beetroot 🤢
Have you tried cooking it though?
It’s a completely different flavour.
AND the beauty of this dish is you can chop and change it to suit.
Look at the toaks fry pan
The one I have is close. But not quite there. I’ll revisit the search soon. Thanks for the input!
