Some of you may have seen this thread, a preamble for the conversion process for mounting a multifuel burner into a Trangia windshield.
Having assembled the requisite bits and pieces I finally got chance to make a start today. All of the pictures can be clicked for bigness.
-----------------DISCLAIMER -------------------
The follwing posts are for information only and are based on my experience of the conversion process. Flammable liquids and stoves can be dangerous. Should you attempt something similar - consider your abilities, your own safety and the safety of those around you.
So with that our of the way, a bit of background. I have owned a Trangia 25 for a little over 10 years, purchased second hand, it has seen quite a bit of action and been quite dependable. I had seen on Classic Camp Stove the conversion of Trangias with other burners so got interested. Also, travelling overseas by air with liquid fuelled stoves has become increasingly difficult, so the possibility of a gas burner for the Trangia is attractive. Finally, the Trangia is renowned for slow boil times so a pressurised burner, although more complex that the original meths burner, should signficantly improve boil times and simmer control.
A gas and other liquid fulled burner is available from optimus - it is quite pricey though so I sourced a cheaper alternative from a well known auction site.
I started with the following
Trangia 25
multi fuel stove - this is the model I bought
conversion bracket
The stove appears to be a copy of the optimus version, this is a photo of the stove I bought
and the conversion bracket
