Thank you, that's worth knowing!  My son  (now 15)  has the swedish army one and messes about for ages cooking on it, as you say it's all part of the fun and he's never in a hurry either,  But if the real burner is so much better, I might just treat him to one.

I was going to get him the  trangia as part of a birthday gift, but his father beat me to it with the swedish army version.

I have several army version Trangia stoves, all have the burner as supplied, and the main problem I've had is how to cut down the heat? I only use them to boil water as they burn everything else. I had no luck using the reduction cap either.

As it would cost you nothing but a few minutes in time, you could try using a small drill bit to clean out the holes. There is nothing to wear out, so I can only think that is the cause of the problem.

Hi Dilbert1968,

Where do you get meths in bulk from please. I buy mine from the local general shop in 250ml bottles and that would work out at  £40 for 5ltrs

Hi anorak.

Cheers, very handy, I'll get some ordered asap.
