27-8 UL/HA Detailed Descriptions
Two-Part Windshield
The heart of the storm-proof stove system is the two-part windshield.
The ventilation holes in the lower windshield are directed into the
wind to increase the oxygen supply to the burner. When the wind becomes
too strong, the stove is turned to maintain the required flame. The
stove stands stable, with the pan on the supports recessed into the
upper windshield. The supports are turned upwards when the frypan
is used. The combined frypan/lid can be put on top of the pan to speed
up heating and save fuel as in the diagram at right.
The spirit burner takes up little space and
weighs less than a gas burner.
The simmering ring is used to regulate the
heat, which saves fuel, and to extinguish the flame.
Spirit Burner
The Trangia burner runs on Tenol or methylated spirits (Ethyl alcohol
or Denature alcohol in the U.S.), which are cheap, safe and easily
available. Tenol is cleaner, while methylated spirits have somewhat
higher output. About 10-15% water can be mixed with the methylated
spirits to reduce blackening of the pans. The burner is most efficient
when filled to 2/3 capacity. The silent burner has a simple design
that means it always works and does not break. Regardless of the
weather, wind and season, it is easy to light. The Trangia also requires
no pumping, simmers superbly, and is almost immune to mechanical
failure.
