What's the best camping stove?
Re: What's the best camping stove?
Jetboil is the go to stove for me, lightweight, fast boil and relatively inexpensive.
Re: What's the best camping stove?
the ally does have the plus point that in some ways it is maybe the easiest to clean after some soaking - ie you don't have to worry about degrading any special surface. I regularly use a small trangia ally pan at home for small things on a gas ring. It's as tough as any domestic pan in my experience.horizon wrote: ↑24 Aug 2022, 7:03pm I have the Hard Anodised - it's just the pans. Brilliant.
Aluminium isn't very nice but that POV is still disputed. AFAIK it's the lightest.
I wouldn't touch non-stick but others may choose it.
Duossal is probably the best (and most expensive/heaviest?).
I'm just glad that Trangia do all the versions as my fear is that non-stick would win (as it has with the mini frying pan). With the greatest respect to all on here, I'm surprised anyone still buys non-stick frying pans but then chocolate teapots are still the rage.
I did buy a duossal frying pan from outdooraction of blackburn (ebay outlet listed upthread) for one of my Trangias but haven't used much yet.
agree with you about non-stick.
I blame all those 60s astronauts popularising it with their damn fry-ups.

thanks - I think that means that we can forget (with an active healthy brain I stress) about the maybe problem.Jdsk wrote: ↑24 Aug 2022, 7:06pmAlzheimer's Society: "Metals, aluminium and dementia":

I thought Trangia suggested putting it on the kettle inside that yellow placcy bag.horizon wrote: ↑24 Aug 2022, 7:08pmPersonally I wouldn't have chosen it but I get the impression from your other posts that you will use it wisely and carefully and get good use and benefit from it.
Something tells me you shouldn't do that but I cannot remember why or from where. I keep mine separate but yes it does fit, even in the smaller 27 kettle.also means you can put it inside the kettle which in turn fits inside the 25 system.
I've never felt comfortable doing that though - so always keep separately in my plastic screw nivea pot - fits perfectly - no problem.

you can also get from some places a separate plate - also handy as a lid for pots if you don't want to/can't use the frying pan as a lid. Sits on top of the frying pan when packed.

Re: What's the best camping stove?
I think I'm losing my faculties (not related to using aluminium pans). I swear that I just read in this thread, someone (Sweep?) asking what the difference between Duossal 1 and Duossal 2.0 is - but I can't find it anywhere now.
I didn't even know there was a Duossal 1 and 2. I tried a quick search and couldn't find anything except Trangia listing Duossal 2.0 in their materials guide (no mention of original Duossal). In that guide, they say this about Duossal 2.0:

Inside a plastic bag.

Re: What's the best camping stove?
That's why I asked this question
If you don't know what it's intended purpose is, you can't answer which will be best.
Re: What's the best camping stove?
Fear not - I went back and edited that out as I found that I had asked the question before some time ago in another thread. a second google search turned it up.freiston wrote: ↑25 Aug 2022, 8:49am I think I'm losing my faculties (not related to using aluminium pans).

Re: What's the best camping stove?
I was sure I read somewhere on the Trangia website yesterday that Duossal has been discontinued (not just out of stock), but I can't see that today.
Re: What's the best camping stove?
??
interesting - would be odd if they have discontinued it twice.

Re: What's the best camping stove?
Trangia now make a deep (nonstick only) 'frypan' for the 25 (they call it a saute pan.... https://trangia.se/en/shop/saute-stekpanna-25/):freiston wrote: ↑25 Aug 2022, 12:03am ...... The 20cm frying pan will also go over the top of the 27 by itself, under the strap to make a slightly larger and heavier 27. With reference to SA_SA_SA's post above, the frying pan doubles as a good sized plate for two-pot 27 meals too
a version sized for the 27 would solve the same problem, whilst keeping its compactness, although nonfryers might prefer a lighter plain UL/HA one. The more people ask them for such a thing....
