The entire kit contains 4 pieces, and depending on how you put the system together, it can be either an alcohol stove, or a wood burning stove. As a very thin all titanium unit, it is insanely light.

If you’re looking for a light Trangia stand that has a good windscreen and fits in a 1L titanium pot, this is a solid buy.
However, if you’re looking to also add the option of a gas stove, take note. There are slits in the triangular wall for the holder “plate” to go into. Continue reading

This little number is not that much lighter than the steel version. I thought it would match the Emberlit mini in weight, but it’s far heavier.
Still, it’s also thicker than the Emberlit, and that gives greater confidence in terms of durability. Continue reading

If alcohol fuel (and optionally, also multi-fuel) is more your thing than LPG gas canister stoves, but you want to cook with it and maximize heat efficiency with a really good wind screen, this set is very hard to beat. Some of the most experienced backpackers swear by these cook sets as they work in horrendous weather conditions, maximize the limited fuel efficiency of the Trangia stove, run silently, and avoids the mess and hassle of setting up and putting away liquid fuel stoves.

What’s there to say about the Trangia .5L fuel bottle?
It’s light, it holds a good amount of alcohol for a week long trip (assuming simple water boiling for hot drinks and re-hydrating food, but isn’t so large as to get in the way.
Rock on Trangia, this is the perfect compromise.

I’m a pretty big fan of wood stoves. Starting a fire in the woods is always a chore for me since I don’t have the skills to really get a fire going without a little help.
But this little guy makes starting a fire using a magnesium fire starter fairly simple. Continue reading
I purchased this direct from the manufacturer, and got the deluxe bundle which included two extra sticks, and the various tops (grill plate and cut-out for cups), and also the bag.
Wow, this is some serious technology, and if I was going to go disappear in the woods for a month, there’s no question this would be my goto stoves. Continue reading
After experimenting more with this stove, I have to say the durability is really impressive.
I originally thought the air-holed storage cap, which also serves as the base for the wood fire, would be a weak point for long fires, but I haven’t noticed any warping yet. Continue reading

EDIT:
First off, 180 stove sent me a replacement because they wanted to analyse the warping.
That warping was pretty easily cleared up as i was essentially over-abusing the stove, both in terms of going way too hot and cooling things down way too fast. Continue reading
