Gear Review: Trangia Mini Stove

Since this stove is quite rare in the Philippines, I have to order it from far away land. I think I got it from US thru Ebay. I really love this Swedish stove because it is very light and is ideal for backpacking trips or camping. Although my diy beer-can stoves are lighter. What’s great about the Trangia stove is its simple design. The stove is made of brass by the way, which make it more unique. There are no moving parts which might break and make it useless. It has a watertight lid in which you can use so that the extra fuel will not be spilled. I also like the simmer ring design in which you can control the flame of the stove. What I don’t like about it is the pot stand. It’s too big and bulky! But that’s just it. Overall, this stove is great!


This stove uses denatured alcohol which is available in all hardware stores nationwide. It can boil a liter of water faster without using too much fuel.


Also, you can use isopropyl alcohol (green cross) or booze (tanduay) which is a waste.

The advantage of denatured alcohol compared to petrol, kerosene, butane, or white gas is it is harmless to Mother Nature.
