This is a good quality item with a couple of features rival models don't have: the variable heat controller, which doubles as a flame snuffer, and the screw-on cap that allows you to leave spirit in the burner.Apparently about 1 in 20 of these burners leak from the main seam when spirit is left in. Mine is OK. You can solder the seam to repair it, if you don't want to return a faulty item. Could be better in the long run, anyway.Runs on meths or bioethanol. Apparently bioethanol can be burned indoors with no flue needed, it doesn't produce carbon monoxide.Bioethanol burns a bit hotter, costs a fraction more in England, is easy to get from B&Q or via Amazon.When using meths, add 5% water to it and this helps prevent any soot. Or just add some of that vile rum someone gave you at Xmas.These burners light up and run at low output for 30 seconds, then they 'bloom' as the unit superheats the air channel in the wall of the device, creating a superheated flame.The burners partner well with the Trangia cooking kits 25, 27, and 28 as you need a pot holder. Also with the Tomshoo wood gasifier mini stove, used as a burner holder / windbreak / pan support.A kit like this is a fine backup on a long-distance voyaging sailboat, in case your cooking propane runs out or there is an electrical problem that hinders electric cooking. The meths or bioethanol fuel are easy and compact to store long term with no problems.These burners are the Swedish army personal cooking solution for use in the field, and work down to -10C with no change; below that you add a widget on the bottom of the burner to pre-heat it. It's probably good to -20C.

It just works,no bells,no whistles..just a peice of brass designed to burn a flame..i just love its design, its functionality, its sturdiness, and its quality..definitely the best €20 ive spent in a long time..been used maybe 5 times,i find a full tank is just perfect to bring a 1 litre teapot to the boil, with the lid on..i estimate it takes about 8/9 minutes to do this( without a wind sheild). .with a wind sheild this process would be quicker and less fuel consumption..i love bushcrafting, and its beyond me how i have never bothered with a trangia stove in all my years hanging out in the forests and woods..love it..👍

Bought to replace my 40 year old example which a friend seems loathe to give back. Fully expect this one to last as long.

Great little spirit burner, bits my crusader unit perfectly as well as my Trangia cookset. Simple and well made. It’s good as there is nothing to go wrong with it in use.

Looks good to use, weight ok, size is just enough, looks sturdy. Hope performance is ok as we haven’t used it yet. Bought it for emergency & when to camp.,

Tried and tested, simple technology from the 50s, that still works so well.There are rip off ones on every site, and not much cheaper tbh, but get this original one.You won't notice a huge difference from the rip off or clones, but the one big thing, is the speed it primes. Approx 40 seconds. The clones can take a few mins.Build quality is excellent. Size & weight are about the same as the clones to be fair.The quality of the copper, however, seems thicker and better all round.Seal works, so fuel can be kept inside, whilst on the move. I use bio ethanol, not meths, but either will work.If you're thinking about pots, I use SS & titanium. Ti will boil up so much quicker, so definitely for water use, but tbh, SS is fine for most other things.For the money, it's a great buy.
