Gas burner Artno 742527

The gas burner is easy to use, has a fast cooking time and keeps the pans soot free. Suits many users and all types of outdoor life. Gas is a clean fuel with high energy density. Running your stove on gas does not demand any priming or pumping and it will not leave any soot or odor.

Which fuel should be used?

Trangia gas burner runs on gas cartridges with Propane/Butane/Isobutane mixture. The valve is international standard: EN417 threaded valves (7/16 NS Lindal Valve).
These cartridges are available in most countries around the world. There are many different brands of cartridges available on the market. Gas canisters are normally available in 3 different sizes 100 g, 230 g and 450 gram. For cold temperatures we recommend Primus Winter Gas, it works effectively down to -22°C.

The Quality of the cartridge and gas may vary. Well known brands of high-quality gas cartridges are: Primus, MSR, Optimus & Jet boil. In Sweden you buy gas at most outdoor shops, petrol stations, grocery stores and hardware stores such as Jula, Biltema, ÖoB, and Claes Ohlson.

Examples of gas cartridges and valve:

Gas from Primus

Optimus gas

Gas from MSR

Valve on gas burner: EN417 threaded valve (7/16 NS Lindal Valve)

Connection on gas cartridge: EN417 threaded valve (7/16 NS Lindal Valve)

Fuel consumption

The gas burner consumes 150g of gas/hour if turned on at full power. Then a gas cartridge of 230 g burns for about 1.5 hours. (You normally never need to run the burner at full power, but for calculation purposes) 1L of water takes about 4 minutes to bring to the boil , and consumes approx. 14 g of gas (this may vary depending on weather and fuel quality).

How much fuel do you need?
It can be difficult to estimate how much fuel you will need on your trip. With the above information in mind, you should also consider:

• How many people will you cook for?
• How many meals should be prepared?
• What kind of food are you going to cook…freeze-dried or fresh food?
• The weather matters, what are the temperature and wind predictions?

Tip!

• Get into the habit of weighing your gas cartridge and making a note of it. You will be able to see how much gas has been used and how much is left in the container.
• Place the stove in a protected position from the wind, to save on gas.
• Are you going on a longer trip? Better to bring 2 smaller cartridges instead of 1 large (in case any tube gets damaged)
• When the gas starts to run out or if it’s cold, give it a light shake.
• Cook something at home before you head out for the first time, and you will get an idea of how much fuel you will need

How to use the gas burner?

1. The gas burner is used in the stove in the same way as the spirit burner. Place the burner in the lower windshield of your Trangia stove- insert it from above, hose first – it should then come out through the hole on the side of the windshield. Then insert the burner itself into the burner hole. Make sure the textured plate is in the right position so the two “wings” spring slightly. Hold them together and press down to secure the burner.
2. Connect the gas cartridge – Make sure the control knob is in the closed position, on minus. Keep the gas cartridge in an upright position and screw it onto the valve. When connected, a little gas may sizzle and seep out, this is completely normal. Continue to screw on the valve with normal hand force
3. Ignite the burner – turn the control knob slightly counter-clockwise, towards plus, and light immediately. You adjust the flame by turning the control knob.
4. Turn off the burner – turn the control knob clockwise, towards minus. Some delay may occur. Let it cool before handling and packing! For more detailed information, see the user manual (links at the bottom of the page).

The Gas burner can be used in:
