Reviews & Ratings for Trangia 25-21 Duossal 2.0 Ultralight Stove Kit — 2 reviews — Page 1

The kit is pretty light considering what you get. I have used it many times and it works great even in high wind. It also cools down almost instantly. Ok real time about 60 seconds then you can pack it back up. Cleans very easily nonstick. Highly recommend this. No metal taste at all.

I bought this set and discovered everything I thought I knew about denatured alcohol camp stoves was wrong. Silly me. Back in the day I, like most people, jumped on the white gas stove bandwagon. Alcohol stoves were looked down on as being old fashioned and such. Now, in my old age, I'm appreciating the reduced volatility of alcohol (not afraid of an accidental spill setting me on fire), the greener aspect (the brand alcohol I use is made from 95% renewable sources) light weight, and dead simple! Fuel, light, cook. No pumping is a fantastic bonus. Silent operation. NO more gas station smell! Boiling water in 5 minutes or so, but that's a liter and half of water.
What sets the Trangia apart to me is the engineering, this is the only stove I've used to have wind protection that is both built in and super effective. Never having to fuss with a separate (usually fragile) wind screen again is worth a heck of a lot. And yes, for me, the stainless steel interior of the pans is worth the extra price from both the health and durability aspects.
Makes me feel like I was missing out all those years dinking around with white gas. Live and learn.
