anyone tried or heard of anyone who has had one of these. i know its from hongkong but the feed back is good and its cheaper than any onther multi fuel i can find. i am only getting into all this and i have read lots of reviews on gas or meths etc and i still dont have a clue so i think its try first and make up my own mind. any suggestions welcome

alot of the guys on here use the trangia and swear by it.

I havn't used one myself but I have heard fairly good reports on them given what they are. The only question is do you need a multi fuel. I.e will you camping in countries where gas or meths will be to hard to aquire if so then go for it, if not then I think you could probably do better with a cheaper gas stove the vango one j tetsed for eg.

yea been reading into the trangia one and i dont think i will be any further than donegal so wont need multi fuel :( so i will go reread the gas vs meth post and try and make my mind up it will give me something to think about as i pretend to work tonight..cheeers guys

I just realised I'm prob being a bit hypocritical after what I said about the cameras! You might buy that stove and find its the best thing since sliced bread.
If you take the pro's -Multi Fuel, low to the ground therefore stable, high power output fast boil times (3.5mins is pretty much pocket rocket times), burner seperate from fuel source you can use an all encompassing windshield (problem with gas)
compared to the cons- heavy (not a problem if you can split it between two or don't mind the weight), maybe be a bit clumsy and OTT for getting a brew on.
-
The only problem i've had with gas is in the cold. It doesn't like cold. But it'll work eventually.

Was thinking of more than a brew :) hoping to do some freshly caught fish served with some wild musscles . I thought choosing a stove would be the easy part but suppose it's better to have good choices instead of bad ones . Thanks again for the replys :-X

Awesome. I have a trangia 27 aswell and I love it. It'll be prefect for what your lookin. Two pots and a frying pan. Just one recomendation get yourself a little trangia kettle, makes life so much easier for making a brew! plus if you get the smallish one you can fit it inside one of the pots and keep your burner nice and snug in there, stops any rattling when its packed away in your ruck.
