Camping. Whats the best fuel for a Trangia stove?

Mr Panda · May 28, 2010

Go to a decent hardware store and get meths in 5 litre containers, or larger. Much better value than the 250ml bottles from camping shops

Meths tends to burn away quickly in my experience, but they are good stoves.

Meths-You brew up a nice cuppa and reflect upon the day.

Petrol-You get rushed to hospital with 3rd degree burns.

get the industrial grade meths it burns cleaner as it has a high alcohol level in there and much hotter so cooking takes half the time

The proper method is to mix it with tea
