anyone still use trangia/alchy setup?

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Gas or metho?

Metho.
Happened to me on the Nullabor when wild winds swirled up when I was trying to make porridge early one morning for breakfast.

The wind changed direction and the Trangia got noisier than an MSR multifuel roarer burner.
I tried to move it with my finger not realising it had gotten quite molten and badly burnt my finger which took some time to heal.

I needed to sit the fuel bowl on top of a tuna tin in order to utilise the Trangia until I made it to Perth a couple of weeks later.

Luckily I had no issue finding a replacement base for the 27 series unit.
