this kit is a bit heavey and bulky for a solo backpacker. great for kayaking though. it's a -8 kit with 'Duossal' pots and pan that Trangia no longer offers. Duossal means that the pots are stainless on the inside and aluminum on the outside. the new -8 kits are hard anodized non stick or plain hard anodized aluminum.
testing:
room temp all
2c water
18ml
methyl hydrate ("the Neufeld Principle"?)
boil: 5:20
out: 6:50
5:15
6:50
5:45
7:05

it's tomorrow.
max fuel capacity of the Trangia burner is 3oz.
note that the burner is identical for the Mini, the #27, and the large #25.
Zelph; when you destroyed that Trangia burner..... was there any insulation in it?

thanks Oops. i thought they might. they have always felt just a bit heavier to me than what they should, given the amount of metal in my hand.

Thanks for the information Daren.
No insulation in the trangia. There is a wick material in it. I'll try to find the thread that shows the photo of it.

In the interest of scienstovetology, one perfectly good trangia stove bites the dust.

Hope it was the military one.

Other than in a trangia stove, where does one find that wicking material, Zelph

It became wickatized, didn't bite the dust.
The material looks like Linen. I'll try to find the stove and take a closer look at the material. It's in a box with the stove and parts.(somewhere)
