 | | First sold in 1925, Trangia stoves were initially preferred to kerosene (paraffin) pressure stoves because they required only one type of fuel (alcohol, usually in the form of methylated spirit). |
 | | The standard stove also includes two pots, a pot lid/frying pan, an optional teakettle, and a pateneted universal handle called a spondonacle (used to grip onto the lip of the pots and pans as well as the kettle handle for safe handling when hot). |
 | | Originally, Trangia stoves were made entirely from aluminum (except for the burner, which has always been brass), in order to keep them lightweight. |
