The reason it's so widely used is it's simplicity, no priming, no gas cannisters and when filled using the Trangia fuel bottles with their no spill valve, it's a very safe stove.
Designed for use whilst on the move, the Trangia 27-8UL/HA is intended to cater for 1-2 people whilst backpacking, rock climbing, camping, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, motorcycle touring or any outdoor activity. The Trangia mess set can be carried very easily in a rucksack as the cook set is made from tough, lightweight aluminium with a hard anodised coating making them easier to clean (just use nylon non-stick scourers), but which is tougher than a non-stick coating.
The Set is made up of the following components:
2 x One-litre saucepans, graded and ungraded
1 x Kettle 0.6 Litre
1 x Frying pan, 18cms
1 x Windshield (upper)
