Hanna van Tol –
While achieving the uses it’s good for, this product falls short of the quality i expect from Trangia.
The gel burner indeed fits nicely into basically anything the company makes, and can handle hexamine and other solid fuels well. The lid even offers the option to snuff them out, saving fuel.
The downside is that this quality isn’t worked out further. The lid doesn’t stay on very well, meaning that storing fuel will be harder to do. This is likely due to the very low grade aluminium.
I don’t know why the gel burner uses such a soft and low grade aluminium while anything else is made from a perfectly good and strong aluminium. You almost need to baby this burner in order for it not to be squished or deformed.
If trangia could improve the material quality and have the lid be a screw type, this could be a very worthy accesoiry to any trangia. I particulairly like to use it in conjunction with they Triangel, since both packed with fuel still fit the bag supplied with the Triangel, making it a very versatile esbit killer to me and a no brainer to pack on any trip.
I like what it can do and the size, but i really wish Trangia would improve upon the design and build.
Ps: put some rock felt into this product and it’s basically an alcohol stove for ultralight purposes. It can do it anyway, but adding rock felt makes it much safer and prevents accidental spills.
