Cook up in the woods today...

[Mike Hill]

Mike is that the same as a 'trangia'?

 

Yes mate,same thing.well worth the Money.I have a Gas burner for it as well,but to be honest the little Meths burner it comes with is better for Cans of Stew.

 

Storm Kjøkken is what they are called here,but your right they are made by Trangia.

I was amazed at how well trangias work - always used a gas stoves in the past.

I think trangia do a non-stick pan set for them now too which is always handy for cooking bacon, eggs etc!

ha ha its just an old greese bucket, 3 air holes in the bottom and an old spring tine on top!! ha ha!!

 

got a few more pics bear with me! your right there mate, a brew and warm food really keeps spirits up :

 

i've seem some strange uses for a spring tine but never as a grill for a fire!!!

ha ha! we were up the log yard first day this winter, got the stove going, soup in the pan and no grill!!!!!! the only thing we could find, without having to go all the way back to farm yard, was an old spring tine that i'd found drilling that autumn and chucked on the brew new the wood heap does a job!!

I will get pics next time I make one, when I was in Finland the lads over there showed me how to make a 'log stove'. You need a 50-60cm wide stem of hardwood and it needs to be 2ft/3ft high. Stand the log up on its thickest end and with a sharp saw bore down into the top of the log 3 times to make a triangle shaped cut through the middle of the log, go about 3/4s of the way to the bottom. Kick the log over on its side and make a another bore cut to meet up with the bottom of the triangle cut, do this a few times to widen it a bit. Remove the triangle shaped piece of wood from the top of the log and clean all saw dust out. Glug of chain oil, splash of petrol and a fire lighter and CAREFULLY light it. It smoulders rather than burns, chucks out LOADS of heat, hardly any smoke and can last days if you plug up the holes when your finished. It dont get affected by the wind and its handy at minus 27!!! Anyone seen these before?

 

LONG POST...........YAWN!

You really should warn people before you put landrover porn up.

Trangias are brilliant designs with the windshield all in one setup etc but I brought a gas burner to fit in where the meths burner used to go, so much better as you have more control over the flame, its quicker, and doesn't run out after 20 mins like meths.

Big Fell, loving the Finnish idea with the log.

 

I've got an Army No.2 petrol stove which is well handy. But proper burning wood is the best.
