 Great Burner, Stand was Okay May 12, 2010
By Lux Camper
"Vic"
Where the Trangia beats my homemade stoves, is with the simmer ring and the O-ring sealed lid. I can fill it up, screw on the lid, and pack it away. The simmer ring allows me to reduce the heat for making pancakes and gravy.
Using my homemade beer can stoves was fun...for a while. But when you are really out there having a good camping trip, you don't want to fuss with a flimsy set up, you just want easy, and reliable.
I ordered a second burner with the Open Spirit Burner (with the little white stand). Never did use the stand. I just use the burner and leave the stand at home. All my dented bottom pots would wobble, and the stand is big and heavy. Even though I am a car camper, it still was just too much. And you must use a windscreen that is large enough to go around that big honkin' stand.
No thanks - too many other pot stands that work better.
Although I highly recommend the Trangia burner itself. An excellent alcohol burner.

 Good stove Nov 02, 2009
By R. Esquivel
Good little stove, very small and efficient. The stand that comes with it is also very solid and stable, but not for backpacking, too heavy.

Terrific Little Burner Sep 24, 2010
By SamC
Have a couple of these little "stoves" - use for both camping and at home. Gave up using the electric kettle or oven at home to heat water for coffee and such - now use only this little burner. The stand works well also - I did take a file and put some little groves in the pot support pieces to prevent sliding. I have a friend who uses this burner as a heater in his tent - just fires it up and sits this big old cast iron griddle on top - a little dangerous maybe - but it puts out a lot of heat.

Amazing stove Apr 17, 2010
By Jack (NMI) Stecker
Wow does this cook. I cooked a breakfast and lunch and once I got use to controlling the flame It did an amazing job. This beats out my homemade pepsi can stoves by a far cry. It is also much easier to light. I plan to make a folding pot stand for it to replace the one that comes with it. That will cut down on the size and weight and it will not require paint. The paint on the original stand looks like it will burn off soon. The fact that it burns Alcohol really is nice. Alcohol is among the safest fuels to burn. The only drawback is that it is hard to see the flame and if you are not use to that you could burn yourself. The fuel is available at most Hardware and Paint stores. Wallymart does not carry it for some reason. Great bang for the buck. I would recommend it to family and friends.

Stove itself is great, the kit is too with a caveat Apr 09, 2011
By A. Cohen
The burner is well made and very cool IMO. It seals shut perfectly, the lid simmer ring is snug, burns well too. The white stand may be too big for what some people want. As an emergency burner for when the power goes out or car camping, it'd be great. Though smaller camping pots/pans, ie Optimus Terra Solo, are barely usable. Though mine does just fit. I think the burner itself with the smaller tin can looking stand that is just larger than the burner is the way to go. If that was an option I'd say go for it.
In summary, the burner is great, though the stand may be too large. Not a bad deal in any case though. Me likey.
