Get 10 delicious recipe ideas for trangia stove cooking to elevate your next camping expedition. In this post, I will give you some of my favourite camping recipes I use to cook on my Trangia Stove. The stove is not safe, either. Huge foot-long flames shoot out of the burner frequently. In-vestibule tent usage is hence out of the question. Not that you should really use any stove inside a tent but using this one would be very very dangerous. With creativity and the convenience of a Trangia stove, you can enjoy delicious meals while camping outdoors. The stove is brass, and very stout. It has no moving parts to break mid hike. I love the way the whole kit neatly fits together inside the pot and frying pan/lid. It can simmer, which most alcohol stoves can not. You can use the simmer ring to put out the stove when done cooking. It has a storage cap, so when you have alcohol left over in your stove, you just screw on the cap, and hike on!

The reason is that the windshield does not trap the heat in as soon as there is slight wind. Efficiency goes down the cellar, completely unacceptable, the stove gets EXTREMELY thirsty. Cutting a soda can into shape as an extra windshield makes it slightly better however. Camp cooking can be a delicious and rewarding part of any camping adventure, and one cooking system that offers both convenience and versatility is the Trangia stove. With its compact and lightweight design, the Trangia stove is popular among campers for its reliability and ease of use. Things I dislike: I wish the simmer ring was more of a lobster claw design (meaning two leaves that open) as opposed to the single plate which ends up offsetting your flame under your pot. I hope you enjoyed this post on recipe ideas for trangia stove and that you get out into the wild and give them a try. Veggie Stir-Fry:Whip up a delicious and nutritious stir-fry using the Trangia pan. Toss in your favourite veggies like bell peppers, onions, carrots, broccoli, and some garlic and ginger for flavour. Add in a sauce made with soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey, and cook until the veggies are tender and the flavours meld together.

I used this stove on several week long hikes this summer in the eastern Sierras and found no real issues with this product. I have yet to use it in freezing weather conditions, so maybe I will update you on this in the winter months. The best way I found to prime the stove in winter is this: Get a tealight candle, and pull out the candle part, leaving the metal container. Keep this with your Trangia, it weighs almost nothing. When it's cold out, get your tealight warm, I use a mini bic lighter for a couple of seconds. Put a little alcohol in the tealight. Put the tealight on the Trangia "storage" cap to elevate it. Light the tealight. I've used mine for day hiking meals, as well as our primary cook stove during a couple of winter storms where we lost power as well as getting us through a week without power during Storm Alfred in 2011. I've also dragged it along to our Relay for Life weekend to keep the coffee flowing for our team, everyone on the overnight especially appreciated the hot coffee and popcorn (lol this stove and Jiffy Pop are a dynamic duo!).

The pot lifter is a bit short so it can be stored/hauled in the pot, but being a bit short it can heat up. Just be aware of that. The canister is faster and easier. But the canisters are expensive, you don't know how much gas you have left (unless you time it and do some math), and you wind up with a bunch of partially empty canisters in your gear box. Personally I think the Mini-T 28 when combined with the Trangia 27 Cookset makes for a perfect camp kitchen set up for most any cooking needs during longer trips out. I say this because I am an avid roadie and will often go on roadtrips for as long as 30 days or more. I ALWAYS take the Mini-T and the Trangia 27-7 with me for more extended days out.

Always practice safe cooking practices when using a Trangia stove, including keeping a safe distance from open flames, using heat-resistant utensils, and being mindful of wind conditions.

I have used this stove in many different weather conditions with success, in both cold and warm temperatures, in snowy and rainy conditions, and in altitudes up to 10,000 feet. Sure some of these varying conditions do affect the performance of the stove, but it still works. I should add that the use of a windscreen should be considered in most instances as it does seem to be affected in winds over 5 mph. Bottom line: Great sove and easy to use. Bullet proof, no frills cooking. If you want more than that then maybe the Trangia 27 would be your next option to consider. I own both. I have used my Mini-T 28 often. I do day trips, weekend trips, and even take it on road trips. When used for its intended use it works flawlessly. By that I mean, measure when, where, and how you are going to be cooking. Don't expect it to be the be-all-end-all of camping stoves.The stand is an odd size. While it fits in the pot during storage and has a good circumference to support the Mini 28's pot, its circumference is a bit large for those who prefer to heat water in their cup. As a reference point, the Trangia Mini 28 stand is just a bit too large in circumference to support a GSI water bottle cup/pot. Boil times, add about two minutes to what you think the boil times should be if you are used to using a canister stove. It doesn't cook as hot as a canister stove, but for cooking that is sometimes a good thing. Its gas burner option and the included pot, pan, and windscreen provide an efficient cooking system for outdoor adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or new to camp cooking, the Trangia stove is a reliable and convenient option to elevate your camping meals to heights.
