I love using my Trangia alcohol stove, I like the fact that it takes a little longer and gives me chance to take in the moment! I prefer the peacefulness of it over a gas stove too!
Hi paul, got my first real wild camp in last night on kinder scout gorgeous weather but by god water is heavy. Did a reccy on monday and just missed andy beavers. But greatfull for all the information you and andy share and encourage people to get out there and to leave no trace, the stars at 2 in the morning were amazing. Cant wait till next week.thank you again.
Paul. Another basic, grass roots level vid. I've been a 'Trangisti' for years now, since my first 27 model stormcooker. I've never bothered with the Triangle, cos I have a MINI which comes with a bowl, and a BRS gas cooker which of course is an integrated pot stand . Perhaps I'll re-think . The faffing around to put things together sort of appeals and helps the chilling out process of being outdoors. Love your work. Thanks. GH
What I tend to do is use the tent pegs to rest the trangia stove on, whilst the ring goes on top as mentioned above. It fits perfectly over the 3 stand points on top. I shove 2 tent pegs through the vent holes at the bottom, 2 high. Then sit the burner on those, add the ring on top for your pots as mentioned above. I tend to use the crappy thinner tent pegs you get with beach pop up tents. Not tried the standard ones yet, they may be a tight fit in those holes.
I had the Trangia gas burner for my Trangia 25K stormcooker setup and it was my goto stove for 3-season high altitude camping. Like most gas stoves it lost power in very cold weather. But in windy conditions the updraft from the stormcooker made it really powerful (also true with the spirit burner). The only cooker i know where wind makes the stove work better not worse! But I sold it during lockdown and got more for it than I paid back in 1983ish.
Thank you for taking us with you for this little walk with a lunch stop. Proper little feel good film. Loved the little wire pot stand hack - very neat! Cheers, best regards to Jo and you 👍🏻
Ive got an MSR 1.3L Ceramic pot I use with my Trangia triangle, fits it nicely, very stable for when cooking proper meals. The 1.3L pot nicely holds the triangle, the Trangia burner, a fuel bottle and a few other bits, so you can make quite a nice and compact cook kit. The Ceramic pot is awesome, great for doing fry-ups, cooking steaks or just boiling water, pours nicely. Problem with the wire mod on the triangle is it will lower the pot height and won't therefore work as efficiently with the burner. Not a major biggie I know but worth considering when using the Trangia burner. Go Systems do a much cheaper version of this stove, been watching one on eBay, can see that might now be moved up a level from watching... Dangerous... Thanks PM
I have similar components, not the Trangia triangle but the Titanium Jolmo Lander triangle, not the Trangia gas converrter but the Go System Adapt Gas Conversion, I don't use the tent peg method I just a wider pot. The main reasons to use gas over meths are longer trips as gas lighter than meths, or speed, more able to handle windier and colder conditions. If you're wanting speed it's because you're seeking a bigger meal / multiple people so your pots are going to be bigger anyway. In the end I ditched the whole gas+triangle idea and just got a remote gas burner, it's the stand+burner combined. I use the triangle with the Fire Maple Syphon meths stove I just plop it in the middle, it fits in a shallow wide 700ml pot as I don't need a tall pot for gas canister. Really that Trangia Gas stove is well paired with the Trangia, particularly the larger 25 as the gas is about speed, larger meals cooking, with wider pots.
I’ve had a few tins of soup and I didn’t see any point in getting a pot mucky so I just take the label off and heat it up in the tin , just needs stirring often so it doesn’t burn
I've got one of those titanium X things that uses 2 flat pieces to form the X that then sits in the Trangia burner. Simple and light, works well. Clare, from WildBeare, often uses one.
Good job on the support. Now full use of the triangle. A versitle piece of hardware. Light is right and multi fuel potential. Seems stable enough for in a vestibule. Like carrying alternatives. Good vid cheers next time
.. Yessir, they make a few different Trangia set ups ... in the right place I imagine one model might work a bit better .. Oh No !!! Don't remove the tag ,,, Now the Police are coming ,, I'll bet you take the tags off your mattress too ....lol .. .. Great job on the stove pot rack ,, carry both on trail to be a little redundant but with 2 types of stoves or even 3 without either fuels and put twigs in the support itself .... nice .. Totally agree ,, that location looks like a great place to relax or even stay a night if permitted ..
There's another stove you might want to check out Paul, made by miltec. It folds flat on hinges and can fold around a trangia spirit-burner, or you can use the plate that comes with for esbit tablets
I actually just bought the triangle this week and found out my 550ml mug didnt fit . I ended uo using a cross section of my lixada twig burner works perfect
Really good. Sorry dear coat hanger, we know you were meant for higher things but right now, we need you for our stove hack (and very well you did too). Looks like a really great bit of woodland, with all those great, mature trees.
i used to use my triangle all the time but once i got the mini it kinda became redundant so recently sold it off. it does fit the low pots well tho. i had the gas burner and it failed on me on a family camp. there was a slight crack in the pipe leading in from storage in the bag i reckon but it meant we had to eat nearly warm food as it wouldnt reach full flame. i returned it and got another in replacment but used it once and sold it as the previous issues put me off from using it. sticking to my titanium for now 🙂
That burner also fits well with the FireBox Gen 2 stoves. Mine is an older one with a much larger control knob. I had to enlarge the side feed port to get the valve through.

I think those burners were really designed to be used with the camping sets, I have one that’s approaching 25 years old! I might have to dig out my old set and gas burner for a nostalgia trip!
You just have to bend the 3 tabs a bit in the interior and à 750ml Pot works perfectly. This is what I have done on mine and it works amazing. And no additional weight to your stove.
Paul, you probably know this already, but Trangia sell a separate 'Pot Stand' for use with the 25 & 27 series, by the looks of what your making (Triangular wire creation) it might even work with the 'Triangle' too ? it's only a tenner or so I think. see Outdoor Action, UK Trangia specialists.
Paul the mini and micro pots from trangia fit on the triangle bang on just in the lip on the base of the pots, yeah I'm a full on trangia fanboy but the gas burner don't really do it for me but I'd love a X2 multi fuel burner one day
Watching you cross on those stepping stones, made me think those legs of yours, had been wrapped around a Shetland Pony all your life. 😂 That does look like a lovely place for a walk and some lunch. With your last video about mushroom foraging. It reminded me of a You Tuber called Alfie Aesthetics. He does a lot of videos on wild plants and edibles. He has just uploaded today too. He is very funny too, as well as educational. Someone else mentioned Clare from WildBeare's channel. It would be interesting to see you doing a collaboration with her. Although, I do think she has better legs than you. She just finished a five day trip and encountered lots of nettles. It must be a result of all the rain we have had recently. They are just leaping out of the ground. Not much sign of nettles there where you were though, despite the abundance of water.
Now see if Trangia will send you the new version...gb77 "Storm"....see if it's an improvement and will cope with liquid feed from the cannister for cold conditions. (I'd do it myself but nobody's going to send me stuff to try out.😅. Trangia's product engineer answered a mail i sent, that it would be better than the version you have here, but stopped short of saying that they recommend inverted cannister...so Im curious).
Your coat hanger and your generous friend's pot support both are too low, they should be resting on top of the three side central tabs. I made a Y type pot support from a stainless steel spoke. About 300 long, bend in half to form a U. Distance between legs = Distance between the bottom of the two scallops of the support tabs. Allow about 40mm for grip, ( as you need to put it on with the flame burning ) + 50mm to the (pot) centre, bend both arms to form a Y (120° spread) Each arm should over sail the pot support tabs. If you want you can make the L & RH arms touch in the centre, do then retweeking the arms to fit the invert of the scallops. A photo would have been so easy, all explained in one image. But, hope it is clear never the less. Thanks for sharing.
What’s your wife’s UA-cam channel, I might as well sub to that and unsubscribe to your channel. The videos you are now making are now not what I subbed for!!!

Have been watchin your videos for about 4yrs now and have to say I'm loving these daily uploads. Keep up the good work Mr Messner aka GOAT
Really handy demo with the coat hanger -- anything to get the imagination going for problem solving is always a plus. 👍
For $10 Trangia sells a "pan stand" that works and can also be used with your storm cooker.
You can buy a mesh with a thermo plate for bunsen burners that disributes the heat better for frying pans.

Random video to make this comment on, but genuinely Paul, your work is such perfect calming distraction. A real treat every time, thanks!
I am very much enjoying the sounds of the water in the background. The wood looks pretty good as well. :-)

Like watching Blue Peter. Where's Shep 😊
I am using a fan cover of an old computer, perfect fit over the lugs on the top making it very stable.
I've cooking outdoors with my various camping stoves too it tastes much better too in the fresh air.
I've got one of those titanium X things that uses 2 flat pieces to form the X that then sits in the Trangia burner. Simple and light, works well. Clare, from WildBeare, often uses one.

Can use a Bunsen burner mesh to support smaller pots. £3.50ish on eBay. Cheers. Jim

Sheffield is all about precision engineering !
I actually just bought the triangle this week and found out my 550ml mug didnt fit . I ended uo using a cross section of my lixada twig burner works perfect
I uploaded about this 2 months ago. My solution is to use a spare burner support ring, available from Trangia.
Excellent idea 👍🏻 You can also use the "Triangle" upside down and use the holes with tent pegs 🙂
That is a good one as well.
The Trangia triangle fits the Trangia mini pot perfectly.
Really good. Sorry dear coat hanger, we know you were meant for higher things but right now, we need you for our stove hack (and very well you did too). Looks like a really great bit of woodland, with all those great, mature trees.
Can’t beat a Trangia ❤

Went to school just up road from there, Myers Grove , spent a fair amount of time fishing that river😂😂
Nice vid, you can tell thats a quality bag. I might have to move from restrap to tailfin!

Brilliant as always
Im just sucked in your universe - You make so great down to earth videos! Thank you!
I use an old bicycle brake disc.
Thanks for lunch!
i use the frame with the meths burner and its great but for small pans i use the trivot you use its geat 👍👍
I have the gas stove i use with my trangia 25 set , it has always worked a treat :)
I think those burners were really designed to be used with the camping sets, I have one that’s approaching 25 years old! I might have to dig out my old set and gas burner for a nostalgia trip!
Best video in a while well done Paul

Works well
I just found your channel and subbed. Really loving your videos.
Paul, you probably know this already, but Trangia sell a separate 'Pot Stand' for use with the 25 & 27 series, by the looks of what your making (Triangular wire creation) it might even work with the 'Triangle' too ? it's only a tenner or so I think. see Outdoor Action, UK Trangia specialists.
My thoughts exactly, I’ve got the pot support but don’t have the triangle to try
Paul the mini and micro pots from trangia fit on the triangle bang on just in the lip on the base of the pots, yeah I'm a full on trangia fanboy but the gas burner don't really do it for me but I'd love a X2 multi fuel burner one day
You can just order a spare ring directly from Trangia if you want a 'proper' solution. Obviously a bit more expensive, but it is an option
Watching you cross on those stepping stones, made me think those legs of yours, had been wrapped around a Shetland Pony all your life. 😂
That does look like a lovely place for a walk and some lunch.
With your last video about mushroom foraging. It reminded me of a You Tuber called Alfie Aesthetics. He does a lot of videos on wild plants and edibles. He has just uploaded today too.

As others have said its not designed for the triangle. It has a bottom plate that fits perfectly in the bottom of the cooking 25 or 27 trangia sets.
I've had a stove 12 odd years and never once used it 😅 keep up 😂
I’d like a Trangia triangle but at least here in the states, for some reason, they are expensive.
you should get a full trangia set its the best cooking setup if you want to make advanced food
Now see if Trangia will send you the new version...gb77 "Storm"....see if it's an improvement and will cope with liquid feed from the cannister for cold conditions. (I'd do it myself but nobody's going to send me stuff to try out.😅.

Feel a Heinze sponsorship coming on!
Well paul…. I thought i landed on AW’s channel at the beginning…. When you said “back out” 🤪
I've bent the lugs over on mine, passed me off but worked
Jo is now wondering why her clothes are at the bottom of the wardrobe and she seems to be missing a coathanger ;)
Your coat hanger and your generous friend's pot support both are too low, they should be resting on top of the three side central tabs.
I made a Y type pot support from a stainless steel spoke.
About 300 long, bend in half to form a U.
Distance between legs =
Distance between the bottom of the two scallops of the support tabs.
Allow about 40mm for grip, ( as you need to put it on with the flame burning ) + 50mm to the (pot) centre, bend both arms to form a Y (120° spread)
Each arm should over sail the pot support tabs.
If you want you can make the L & RH arms touch in the centre, do then retweeking the arms to fit the invert of the scallops.
A photo would have been so easy,
all explained in one image.
But, hope it is clear never the less.
