Product Description
The Series 27 Trangia stoves are aimed at the lone walker or for small groups. A relatively small, compact stove that takes up minimal room in the rucksack. The pans are smaller than the Series 25 and the kettle is sized accordingly. Larger pans can be accommodated by raising the supports in the upper windshield.For more info see the Trangia Website click here

General Comments
As someone who used to train teenagers for their Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh awards I love these stoves. Every Scout pack in the UK and around the world probably has a tent load of them. They are truly a bomb proof stove, easy to set up, easy to use and totally reliable. Ideally suited to camping associated with trekking and hiking, their ability to pack into a single unit makes them very practical.My only recommendation is to buy the gas adapter which speeds up the cooking time immensely.

Model 3 UL
It's two best features are that it is very easy to operate and that it even works very well in stormy weather.
The recommended fuel is ethyl alcohol aka methylated spirts, which is avaiable almost all over the world, although in remote areas it can be somewhat problematic to find it. This fuel burns very clean. All sorts of other liquid fuels work too, but many of these lead to black pots.
The disadvantage of ethyl alcohol for cooking is that the caloric value is relatively low, hence it takes a while to get your water to boil. That said, if you're a bit careful, a liter of fuel (per person) can last for a week - mind you, when I discovered that, dinner always consisted of soup, double sized freeze dried meals and tea or coffee, so 'cooking' was never more complicated than boiling water. My experience with real cooking is limited, but at one time I managed to make one liter last for a 6-day trip - five dinners, five times tea for breakfast. For that, you have to plan ahead and bring food that doesn't need much time to cook (carrots, paprikas, salads, couscous, mashed potato powder ...)
