Trangia stove – less efficient with alcohol

Trangia stoves with burners for denatured alcohol have a strong tradition in Swedish outdoor life. Unfortunately, alcohol is not a particularly efficient fuel. Cooking takes a long time, and it’s difficult to regulate the flame. Therefore, make sure to pour enough fuel from the start so that you don’t have to wait for the burner to cool down before you can refill it and light it again. You can purchase a gas insert for your Trangia stove, allowing it to be used with a more efficient fuel.
