MiniTrangia Review

I purchased a MiniTrangia cookset before I went for an overnight camping trip with Tracey. The cookset comes with a pot, a lid (which doubles as a non-stick saucepan), a pot gripper, windscreen, flame adjuster cap, stovecap, and stove.

I accidentally put the tongs into the set sideways which resulted in a small scratch in the non-stick surface, so be careful that you don’t do that. Other than that the set is wonderful for light backpacking. Since it is alcohol based, it is much easier cleanup. The stove is quick, but not as quick as some propane or butane stoves. It weighs next to nothing.

In the photograph above, you can see that I am using the MiniTrangia stove with my old school camping mess tin. I found a rock to rest the saucepan handle against. You can’t tell from the picture, but it was rainy and windy, but the stove served its purpose.

The MiniTrangia isn’t great for more than one person though. For that, I’d recommend an upgrade to a larger model or different stove. This is a great buy for 37 dollars. It saves you from hacking together a stove made out of discarded tuna fish and tomato cans.
