Trusted for decades, this compact burner offers professional-grade performance and fuel efficiency for camping and backcountry chefs. ## Description The Trangia Spirit Burner is the most versatile and user friendly alcohol burner on the market. Besides having a track record of reliable service that spans decades, it also has a couple of uniquely useful features. The simmer ring allows the burner to adjust from full to simmer and extinguishes the flame when closed completely. The twist on cap with o-ring seals the burner so you don't have to empty unused fuel between uses and prevents evaporation - less fuel wasted means less fuel you have to carry. Includes burner, simmer ring, and cap w/ o-ring. Review: Idiot proof, reliable, hot - This little thing works like a charm. For $14, you get a literally idiot proof alcohol burner that I find perfect for most canteen cooking systems (except the BCB Crusader system, although simplr modifications to the cooking base can make it fit). When I first got the thing, I peeled it out of the bag and read what little English was on the bag, as well as the English warning label on the lid. Basically, it's just reminders to be careful with flammable liquids, only use alcohol, and read the instructions. However, no instructions came with the unit. Not a problem, as it's pretty self explanatory: fill middle resovoir with alcohol, light alcohol in resovoir, burner burns. I filled mine 3/4 of an inch up, maybe a wee bit more. Before I lit the thing, I put the o-ring cap on and shook it around to check for leaks. I found none. Using a firesteel, and with one strike, I got the burner lit. Now, what I've gathered is the thing gets really hot and cooking when the small little holes at the top of the threads turn into little jets, which make it look like a gas stovetop. That took about a minute and a half at room temperature in my kitchen. I started my timer once the jets kicked on. 27 minutes of hot, jetlike flame. The burner trickled for a minute before finally burning out, but I didn't count that as useable fire. So, within two minutes of owning this thing, I had it lit and burning. And with no instructions. I am no genius by any means, so that's got to show how idiot proof the thing is. As a boil test, using my pathfinder canteen cookset, I was able to boil 500ml of water in roughly 7 minutes. Not bad for a $14 burner, shipped free through bikeworldusa. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap, reliable heat source alternative to the clunky propane and white gas units. This thing works just fine, and gets even hotter than you'd think, and cooks very well. You can't go wrong with this little burner. Review: A SUPERB, reliable, durable, versatile, reasonably lightweight alcohol stove! - The Trangia Spirit Burner with Screwcap is a terrific option for a simple, reliable, versatile, and fairly lightweight stove. While there are lighter alcohol stoves available, most are less versatile because they lack the Trangia's O-ring lined screwcap, which allows you to store excess fuel inside the stove without leakage. This, as well as the increased durability, is the main reason I finally adopted the Trangia after years of using various homemade popcan stoves. The stove could hardly be simpler to operate. Just fill it up with your preferred alcohol fuel (I recommend yellow Heet, which burns cleaner and seemingly hotter, not to mention cheaper per ounce, than 91%, 99%, or denatured alcohol) and light it aflame with a match, lighter, or fire rod. The stove takes approximately 30 to 60 seconds to warm up enough to vaporize the fuel and burn effectively at full intensity. At full flame, the stove will burn for 23 minutes on 100 mL of yellow Heet, and then gradually die down over the subsequent 60 to 90 seconds. At normal room temperature, the heat at full flame will bring 1L of water to a rolling boil in under 9 minutes, or 1 cup (8 oz.) of water to a boil in under 4 minutes. While not as good as some butane rocket-style stoves, this is exceptional performance for its weight, and more than adequate for all but the most impatient backcountry cooks. Using the simmer cap, the Trangia becomes even more flexible and its burn time can be extended by quite a large margin. With the simmer cap fully open, the flame remains hot enough to maintain a rolling boil in 1L of water, and closing up the opening in the cap shrinks the flame progressively down to something approximating a low simmer (ideal for cooking more delicate, easily scorched foods like eggs). When closed all the way, the cap becomes an effective snuffer. Just drop it over the flame and it instantly extinguishes, allowing you to control and preserve fuel remarkably easier than with virtually any other alcohol stove on the market (excepting knock-offs that are patterned after the Trangia's clever design). On my digital scale, the Trangia (WITH the screwcap and snuffer/simmer cap) weighs in at 111 grams. A homemade popcan stove can be half or even a third of that weight, which may matter to some people, but in my opinion the added versatility, convenience, and robustness of this stove makes it well worth its weight. In my case, I typically cook with wood in a small Emberlit titanium box stove (the kind that easily separates and folds flat). In many parks, a box wood stove is considered an enclosed stove and can be used even when there is a ban on open fires; however, there are times in very wet weather when gathering dry tinder to get the wood stove started can be inconvenient to downright frustrating, and when traveling with my kids, it helps to have the Trangia to fall back on for instant access to a cook fire, as well as none of the smoke or wood supply management required to cook with wood. In that kind of back-up/convenience role, this stove is wonderful because thanks to the screwcap, I don't need to carry a spare fuel bottle on most shorter trips. With 100 mL of yellow Heet stored inside the stove, I get adequate burn time to boil more than 3L of water, which is plenty for several meals. And it fits so nicely inside the Emberlit box stove that I also don't need to carry a separate windscreen or pot holder. They just pair together so well. All in all, I highly recommend this stove for anyone who wants a simple, durable, reliable, and unusually versatile alcohol stove. And I recommend yellow Heet to minimize the fumes and soot that other types of alcohol fuels can generate. [UPDATE 5-17-2018: While I still like this stove, I found that after using it for a few months, the seam where the upper and lower part of the stove joins must expand, as mine started to leak fuel even with the cap sealed tightly. I was able to resolve this by heating the stove with a torch and running electrical solder all the way around the seam. The solder fills the gap and stops the leaks, and the stove does not get hot enough in operation (or at least, hasn't so far) to re-activate the solder to cause problems. That said, I have moved on from this stove in favor of the lighter Vargo Triad 2.0, which has it's own quirks but weighs substantially less. Since I need to carry more fuel on longer trips than fits in the Trangia itself--and thus, have to carry the weight of a fuel bottle anyhow--it didn't make sense to keep using the heavier Trangia. See my review of the Vargo if you're interested in the modest tradeoffs you make with that one.] ## Features - Brass - Made in the USA or Imported - The Trangia Spirit Burner is the most versatile and user friendly alcohol burner on the market. - Besides having a track record of reliable service that spans decades, it also has a couple of uniquely useful features. - The simmer ring allows the burner to adjust from full to simmer and extinguishes the flame when closed completely. - The twist on cap with o-ring seals the burner so you don't have to empty unused fuel between uses and prevents evaporation - less fuel wasted means less fuel you have to carry. - Includes burner, simmer ring, and cap w/ o-ring. - Weight: 0.24 lbs.

Does rubbing alcohol work, or only denatured?** A: I used 99% rubbing alcohol when I traveled to Honduras on a missionary trip. Rubbing alcohol is allowed in checked luggage on airlines (much research on this beforehand). Yes it did soot the bottom of my pot BUT it wiped off easily with a dry cloth. I rehydrated every meal with a 2/3 cup of boiled water. It boiled 2/3 cup of water very quickly in about 4 to 5 minutes. This little burner works exactly as I hoped it would. I highly recommend it. **Q: Where is this manufactured?** A: Trangia is a Swedish company ( http://www.trangia.se/english/ ) that has made outdoor products for outdoor enthusiasts and the military since 1925. Sold through many USA distributors, the Trangia stoves, cook sets, and accessories for outdoor cooking are legendary. **Q: is this made of brass or other.** A: The flat swinging plate on the simmer ring is made of steel. Everything else is made of brass. Verify with your own magnet. I did. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Idiot proof, reliable, hot *by F***H on October 18, 2014* This little thing works like a charm.

While this is cheap and does a good job it's a burner and not a stove and does weigh a bit. For those that don't know the difference between the two... a stove can not be used aloe, it need something above to to but a pot or cup. That's one.... now it's beefy, so if you Chou the weight it is a bit heavy... that's two... it costs a bit, compared to a great alternative...that's three. Now the answer. I use many, many stoves, I do like this one. But,,, there is one you can make that's better and almost free. Commonly called the "fancy feast" stove. This a stove, you can just set your pot or cup on top. It's extremely light, easy to make and extremely cheap, and it's a stove not a burner. . I highly suggest you do a google and YouTube search on how to build one... it's not fancy ... buts it's the most functional alcohol stove I have seen. You need fancy feast cat food can, tomato paste can, carbon felt (found at Amazon of Home Depot). That's it. In the mean time get this one. If your like me though you will find yourself leaving this home and using the fancy feast one more and more. This also fits perfectly in the Toaks 450 or 350 ml cup. ## Frequently Bought Together - Trangia Spirit burner for storm cooker - Trangia Fuel Bottle 1-Liter - HIZEFSOO 2PCS Alcohol Stove Cross Stand - Stainless Steel - Pot Support for Camping Stoves - Outdoor Camping Stove Stand Support Rack - Camping and Hiking Accessory --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1620680-trangia-spirit-burner-for-storm-cooker](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1620680-trangia-spirit-burner-for-storm-cooker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
