Trangia says

Spirit burner for alcohol-based fuels. Easy to use due to its simple construction, has no loose parts that can break and is maintenance free. The simmering ring regulates the heat and is used to save fuel or to extinguish the flame. The burner is made from brass and the wick inside is made from 100% cotton. Yellow bag is included. Works in all weather conditions. In severe cold, from about +5C a Winter attachment with Preheater can be used which makes it bloom faster and gives better effect (sold separately).

Our Verdict

A classic meths stove, with a very robust brass construction, you won’t accidentally crush this stove like you might some of the lighter aluminium ones.

Simmer ring – when open and placed over the Trangia meths burner will give a simmering flame, and when closed can be used to extinguish the burner. Very handy when you’re trying to actually cook rather than just boil water.

The Screw cap can be used for extinguishing the burner , but first remove the rubber washer from inside the cap as this may melt when extinguishing the burner. (Do not screw the burner cap on tightly to the burner whilst the burner is still warm, as when it cools down the cap will become very difficult to remove)
