Instructions

How to use a Trangia Camping Stove:
1. Unpack the stove. The stove is neatly packaged to take up very little space. As you take it apart, remember how each piece fits together so you can put it back together correctly!
2. Prepare the windshield. The Trangia comes with a two-piece windshield to keep the flame from going out in windy conditions. Place the bottom part of the windshield on the ground somewhere firm and flat.
3. Assemble the burner. Remove the lid from the brass burner unit and pour in some methylated spirits (denatured alcohol) - never more than 3/4 full! Add a little water to stop the flame from sooting the bottom of the cooking pot. Replace the lid immediately. Put the burner carefully in the centre of the windshield and put the second windshield in place.
4. Light a match and put it to the fuel. The flame is hard to see, so be careful not to burn yourself, but you'll feel heat when the spirit begins burning.
5. Add the pan. Use the handle to place the pan on the metal supports inside the windshield.
6. Create a frying pan. If you want to use the frying pan, use the detachable handle to lift the metal supports, then sit the frying pan over the heat. Use this detachable handle to lift the pan off the windshield.
7. Cook. You can now use the stove to boil water, or heat food in the pan or frying pan.
8. Adjust the flame while cooking. Use the adjustable burner top to control the flame. Always use the handle attachment when putting this in place.
9. Finish cooking. Put the closed burner top in place to turn off the stove. The lack of oxygen will cause the methylated spirits to stop burning after just a few seconds. Do not use the burner lid to extinguish the stove - the rubber seal inside the lid is not fireproof and will burn and melt all over your burner. Remove the burner top to make sure the fire has extinguished. Leave the Trangia to cool before packing it away.
