Trangia 27

[DryBag]

The Lidl isn't on offer now, I have one that I use, but I wondered if it's worth getting the upgrade.  But at four times the price i would need to see a big difference.

bagging the pots so as not to ruin the nonstick frying pan is wasting bags dude,ive had mine for 16 yrs now and the pan hasnt a mark on it yet. its no shelf ornament either and gets plenty of use.
saying that though,the kettle developed a hole in the bottom of it lol just about a mm in diameter.

i do find though that theres always a little coloration in the boiled water and id rather not make tea with the standard kettle.

Open fire!

Amazon just got back to me, they are refunding me my £ as they said they want to make sure its not a problem with the batch

So what do I cook on now?

What sort of has stove? Gas is very handy but the semi full cans are a pain as once they're low they lose pressure. Did you get the Alpkit titanium pot and mug? I have a set of Tibetan ti pots but to be honest I was never that impressed with them. I always just use the Trangia Mini pot/pan on the gas stove instead.

Sorted althought at donard wood it may be open fire as I ordered a gas stove from ebay and its 2nd class delivery!

I ordered the Alpkit mytimug and pot so its worked out £5 more than my trangia system in total but I have the same stuff, well except for the kettle but the mug will do for that and its lighter at 385g complete(inc stove) instead of the 900g odd of the trangia system:)

Does mean an end to free fuel maybe I could drink the stuff I have

I have the Vango Ultralight stove. It's a real cracker. Dead light and has worked well for me to date. Only cost me £12 from Tiso tho.

Yeah I ordered the titanium ones from alpkit, the stove is a vango ultralite £10 new of ebay. Yeah tbh the gas pressure thing is one of the reasons I went for a trangia as no problems like that with fuel and I get the industrial meths for nowt. Might make a coke can meth burner when I can be bothered to use with the mug.

Is a real trangia much better than the Lidl rip-off version?  does anybody have experience of both?
the lidl one works grand, have used one several times, the trangia is made of better stuff but is reflected in the cost!

LIDL trangia?

does every lidl do them? how much?

[DryBag]

they do them in their offers - usually a couple of times a year.
cost around £12
