It has it's limitations, but this is a great little setup for backpacking and such. Plus it's only slightly more expensive than just buying the Trangia burner by itself, so you might as well in my opinion. I'm definitely satisfied with my purchase.

Love it. I can boil 8 oz of water in no time at all. Cooked rice and cooked noodles on it also. Light. Easy to find fuel.

Ditch the wind guard pot stand if you have smaller pots for backpacking. The stove however is bombproof and lives in my Stanley adventure cup in my camping backpack. The lid has an o-ring so you can fill the stove with fluid and have a leak free existence. So affordable, and so reliable. Never go camping without one. I use it as a back up if its raining, if I'm too lazy to make a fire (or to wait on the coals and im hungry), or if I'm plain old 34;stealth camping34; and do not want to be detected. Use it with HEET in the YELLOW bottle, found at most Walmarts or gas stations. Stay away from rubbing alcohol, puts off more fumes and SMOKE.

Excellent Alcohol Stove and wind shield. I now have one in all three of my backpacks.

The stove is great and a real trangia stove but in the description it said it had all of the trangia mini pecies wich are a pot, a pan, a winscreen/potstand, and the stove. All that came was the stove and potstand. It is still a good price but the description is incorrect and needs to be changed.

Has not been used on a backpack/camping trip yet won't be until the fall of 2017.

Nice little light weight stove, easy to use but you do need a windscreen. It takes about 8 minutes to boil 4 cups of water using HEET, which is not bad for an alcohol stove. Most people will only be boiling 2 cups at a time so you do the math.

very satisified

I bought this specifically for the burner as I had been using a very similar set with an 'off-brand' burner and I wondered what the difference was. Like the other set, the windshield is tragically problematic. It's just slightly too small for me to use any of my small camping pots on. With my larger pots, it seemed like the flames coming off the trangia in this setup were unusually high and various twigs and things on the ground were getting scorched. I think the open configuration let too much oxygen into the combustion in even a light breeze. It works, but it's worrisome. The burner itself is great, especially when used in a Clikstand or a full-sized Trangia cook set. For a solo hiker, I like using it with thenbsp; Esbit folding wind screen nbsp;and a 1L kettle. That's enough water to rehydrate a meal and have a warm drink afterwards.

This works just like it says it will, and the Trangia alcohol stove fits as pictured. It holds a pot well, but don't bump it.

The Trangia Mini Windshield and the famous Trangia Alcohol Burner are sold here apart from the Trangia 28-T 34;Mini-Trangia Set34; developed for a Mountain Marathon competition. So the set concept was minimal, lightweight, versatile, and compact. Those goals clearly can't accommodate perfection in a specific aspect, but reflect a good compromise that leaves other aspects to the user. Here the Mini Windshield is designed to be strong, light, an adequate stand for the 28-T bowl and pan (these aren't part of this bundle), and an attempt to provide wind shielding at the same time. the stand diameter at the arms is 3.834;, and its height is 2.534;. So if you buy this for a mug, you may need to modify the 'arms' by drilling a hole or cutting a slot to drop in lengths of steel wire to support that mug; if you have a 1L pot, no problem; if you have an 10' fry pan, you'll need to be careful of balance. Note that the GSI Stainless Mug, the Olicamp Space Saver, and the Walmart Stainless Mug are all the same size and snug fit into the arms, but wires in shallow slots cut in adjacent arms would give confident support. And if you are in a windy place, you won't find this effective enough, so bring a bit of heavy foil or pile rocks or use your pack or find a more sheltered place. The strong points of this kit are the Mini Windshield's strength as a pot/kettle support and the Trangia burner itself. One could either burn Esbit in this Mini-Windshield with or without a foil for easy clean-up, or even use the cut-off bottom of a beverage can as an Esbit holder, nesting it with the Trangia burner when packed. The volume of this kit may be a drawback, but really it isn't that much bigger than the Trangia. In fact, in around the Trangia you can easily pack a mini-BIC, a Ferrocerium, some Esbit tabs, etc., making a compact stove kit to slide into a ZipLock, and fit into, for example, an MSR Alpine Stowaway 475mL or 775mL pot or Olicamp LT 1L. For an even smaller volume for packing, consider the Esbit Ultralight Folding Pot Stand with Tray - 3 pieces of stainless that lock together with an Aluminum dish that pops into slots in the 3 pieces to support an Esbit Tab - or a Trangia Alcohol Stove. This item collapses and fits in a thin pouch - but if you use a Trangia, you'll need to pack it separately in a ZipLock.
