Trangia stove / alcohol stove

Trangia stoves with a burner for methylated spirits have a strong tradition in Swedish outdoor life. Unfortunately, alcohol is not a particularly efficient fuel. Cooking takes a long time and it can be difficult to regulate the flame. Make sure to pour in enough fuel from the start, so you don’t have to wait for the burner to cool down before refilling and lighting it again. You can buy a gas burner insert for your Trangia stove, allowing you to use a more efficient fuel.

Please note that alcohol stoves must not be used during fire bans.
