Rather than cut a slot for the handle, just turn the stove around, when using, so the wind isn’t blowing the flames out under the handle. I’ve never had a problem with the handle getting that hot!
I’ve had one for over 30 years, I bought it sportsmans guide for $5.83, best money I ever spent on an item I have used almost every time I go camping… As always Old dog new tricks... great video bro
Thanks for sharing!
I have exactly the same feelings after watching this video. I have been using mine on regular basis for last 15 years.
Great video and tips. Usually when a video advertises cool tips they are the ones everyone already knows about, your video gave me new insights to a stove system I have been using for the last five or six years. Many thanks and kind regards, Broadlander
I call that southern ingenuity at its finest, well done Sir! Cheers
thanks
you got it spot on ! an officer in the swedish army!
Ok, the upside down tricks have blown me away! I've seen these over the years, alcohol stoves never tickled my fancy so I never bought any. You know, when a set of two stainless could be had for $25 or something. Now a stainless will go for $200 on eBay, if you can even find one. I finally decided to try an alcohol stove so I bought a set but the pot itself is some East German knock off, all the rest is Swedish though. I think I paid maybe $20 or so, I'm a cheapskate so it couldn't be too expensive! I'll be trying that upside twig stove configuration! Oh, and NEVER put the lid on a hot stove, you'll ruin the rubber gasket. The simmer ring from other stove sets should fit it just fine.
The reverse mode - that was great! :-) Thank you!
Nice tips Blackie. I did the tip of cutting out the notch after watching one of your videos from a few years ago and can say it's a game changer for this stove. Works perfectly and handle stays cool. Love the idea of turning the wind shield upside down to hold a larger pan. Atb, Ian.
Love those Swedish stoves! I’ve packed in chopsticks or wood tongs to catch hold of the handle and pull off the stove. Cool idea tho’ to put a notch to the back and turn it upside down for a fry pan and wood stove.
its a Swedish Army Mess Stove - also known as a M40 Stove.
Good tips and tricks!!
I was using a pot grabber to lift the hot Shnussbork off the alco burner. I like the knife trick.
I have inverted the windscreen to set a larger pot over a Svea 123 whitegas blaster, or two commercial Trangia burners in tandem. Too much fire, there.
I have drilled holes in my Trangia, where I put tentstakes in. So I can clamp in the Trangia gasburner.
Interesting, happy days always.SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.
I just found one at a hock shop! Glad I saw your video first!
I've just brought a combination of swedish base and swiss mess tins there nearly the same but the swedish base needed some work, they fit together but tight just need the bbq paint where I ground the slots out
Brilliant mods, love the bigger frying pan idea as well
Imagine that the old ww2 era "Filth Jar" (Snuskburken) get so much praise from foreign bush crafters. I guess you get "Home Blindness" and don't appreciate what you have. I know i have SEVERAL sets hiden among all the gear that got re-distributed within the Swedish Armed Forces. (Stuff i "forgot" to return as i left active service). The wood alcohol bottles got vomit inducing agents added, so we didn't keep the bottles or the alcohol stove, within the sets. I hope you dont have that problem.
nope ours is free of that and i understand what you mean i used and still use a u.s. army canteen cup and cook set and all the time see videos from across the pond singing the praise.of the u.s. army stuff ...and to us it cheap surplus lol to each his own i guess
Great video & tips. Its always been a terrific budget set, usually in aluminium in army disposal stores here in Australia. I like the tip on turning the windshield upside down to use my regular frypan. Thank you for sharing.
Blackie don't have one now.I'll check one out.Thanks for the tips
Great tip cutting a slot for the handle. Defo gonna do that one.
Nice Insightful tips. Good job
Hey Blackie! I noticed in your earlier vid on this, the hook was on the bale of the pot. That bale has 2 hanging points on it: 1) the center point for hanging the pot over the fire, and 2) the offset point which is used to fix the bale to the pot (putting the hook end through the belt loop of the pot) for use as a pot handle for drinking or pouring. Since the hook is no longer on the pot, it may not be a useful tip, but thought I would share for others the wonder what that offset hanging point was for.
Thanks again!
Nice stove and cook kit Blackie, great mod. I'd like to find one of those. 👍
I love it
@@blackoracle69 I'll have to try and find one. I have a Trangia stove, but mine is smaller than yours, didn't know they made a military version. Thanks for the info 👍
Good tips and tricks Blackie!
Great stuff Mr. Blackie!
New subscriber, great tips, so glad I watched your video.
Good ideas on the video 👌😁👍🏴
Thanks! 😃
Great modification. I will have to give this a try.
Love the tip of using the knife to lift the windscreen.
Thanks for sharing and God bless.
I love that idea, thank you.
Thanks for sharing!
First, great tips
Glad it was helpful!
Good ideas.
Great job.
Also instead of diluting the fuel to reduce any soot, use the old trick of rubbing the bottom of pot with soap (suds). That maintains max heat from the fuel.
Thank you Blackie for another great video!
I have one of these stoves and I love it but, that handle has got me a few times. I will be making this modification to my stove. Thanks for the tip on flipping the wind screen over for the bigger pot that is very useful. That will definitely expand the kits usefulness. I always learn something useful from your videos. Thank You sharing your knowledge I really appreciate it! William
Clever man
Good tips
I do love watching your videos. I never fail to learn stuff, stuff I want to know. I just got one of these outfits, and know a ton more than I did before. Thank you:-).
I observed that the military alcohol burner has got some felt mat inside between the walls of the burner and that soaks up a lot of alcohol as compared to the civilian burners which do not have that mat. With the civilian burner, after you're done cooking, you can retrieve the unused alcohol back through a small funnel straight back to the bottle. With the military, when you can't see any more alcohol inside, the mat will still be saturated but you can't retrieve it. If you are using it again in a short while, no problem, but I think if you are not, it will go to waste by evaporation, even with the lid on. I would like to figure out how to get the insulation out from one of my three military burner so that I will make a comparison.
I love that system, been looking for one lately.
Thanks again for what you do.
No problem 👍
Excellent info; thanks!
You bet!
Great tips! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve used mine for years using it almost daily in the winter and quite a bit in the summer and it never occurred to me to flip it over and use the stove upside down for my skillet with the alcohol burner I’ll had to try that tomorrow
REALLY great tips!! THANK YOU!!!
You are so welcome!
Nice advice, thank you.
thanks
Another awesome video Blackie!
Thanks for the visit
Good knowledge to have.
Thanks for watching
Great tips , thanks for sharing, God bless !
Thank you! You too!
Creative thinking. Thanks for the video.
My pleasure
Great tips
Glad it was helpful!
Nice kit👍🤠
Thanks 👍
great vidio sir wonderful setup thanks
Glad you liked it!
Pretty cool set up 😁👍
Thanks! 👍
I just got one of these off of Ebay! definitely going to cut that slot! Also, I carry a buddy burner, and a can of sterno as backup as well and the woodstove idea is good too!
I've got 2 swede military sets, 1 aluminum & 1 stainless steel, and an OUT-D (Ledmark) clone set. TIP: To prevent scorching the table and improve operation, I use a foil-covered cork trivet under the stove (any stove). BTW, the military burners were made by Trangia ('T' on bottom) and by Svea (No 'T' on bottom).
I have had this for a little over 10 years. I cooked many a steak and eggs on a cast iron skilled with the stove in the regular position with no issues whatsoever. I do like that knife trick though. One can use any alcohol stove and if you need to adjust the height of the stove just build up what the stove sits on making sure it's solid because you don't want an accident. Thanks for sharing.
your welcome
Good stuff my friend 🤠
Thank you! Cheers!
Great tip who says that you can't teach a old dog a new trick
yep we can all learn..lol
I'm definitely getting one of these, fairly easy to get in the UK so quite interested to hear your tips 👏🏼🙏🏼
You should!
they are actually hard to find. 10 years ago they became the latest fashion and a big hype. what used to be a 10 Pound item could be sold for 100 on ebay^^. Even in Sweden they are now rare. Especially the stainless steel models. you may be lucky and get one in aluminium, but not as cheap as they used to be. IF you can get them easy, buy all you can get, it's an investion. almost bitcoin ;-)
@@couchcamperTM I will be sure to snap one up 👍🏼
Some really great tips. I have one of those stoves that I have used for years. I've used the bucket and frying pan over a small open fire as much as I've used the alcohol burner. One comment though; I don't think that building a fire inside the aluminum windscreen/potstand is a good idea. The heat really reeks havoc on the integrity of the aluminum. I don't believe that it was intended to stand up to that kind of heat.
I don't think that either. However I have used it as such and it works surprisingly well as a wood stove. I suppose it's not a coincidence but a purposful design feature although to be used only in an emergency. As you have observed, the aluminium windscreen is affected if exposed for longer to open fire.
Awesome hacks. Now I need to get over the non-round shapes. Drives me crazy for some unknown reason. Canteen cups drive me up the wall. Well that, Country music and Scratching your fingernails on a chalk board. Same feelings. I have issues, I guess.
I'm glad someone else feels that way too. The shape irks me for some reason I can't even explain. First world problems I guess. 🍻
the d shape is better when you carry it against the body on a belt the round shape rolls side to side and drives ya nuts.... if you look back at canteen and other carried on belt sets from the 1600 on to modern times the kidney or d shape is often the one used.
😎
I love this idea and the type of stove but can not find them at my local surplus store ( military ) can you let me know where I can find them and how much please? Also keep up the great work and semper fi.
agree 💎💎💎👍👍👍🥇😁🍀👋
Found the pot part of a Swedish set at a flea market. Sadly it didn’t have the stand or trangia . I swing through when he’s there hoping he found the other parts that somehow got separated. Would like to have the whole original set They really are cool systems to cook with . Thanks
keep eye out on ebay sometimes parts of sets come up for a good price
@@blackoracle69 thanks
If you use the wind shield as a wood stove, the only issue is, the metal becomes very soft and malleable, it becomes a copper colour. If you can easily replace the wind shield, it doesn’t really matter. It’s just something to bear in mind.
Not on the SS version from Pathfinder. 😉
Acetone in an alcohol stove? More bang for the buck, or just boom? TY, TU, etc.
Can you use the modern (civilian?) style of brass trangia burner with the simmer disc in this military stove? I think the more modern brass burner is smaller?
Wow, Why can"t I think of this stuff?
how do you become old and wise? ...first you must be young and stupid.....lol i learn many of these tricks the hard way
2:45👨🏼🏭
Very good ideas,what is that Swedish military?
yes it is
Ok Blackie I'm torn and value you opinion which do you think is better the m40 or something like the pathfinder Bush pot?
Hey Blackie I have been meaning to ask you this for years - have you done the public speaking course from Toastmasters? I recognise some of the things they teach when you do your presentations.
i have not but i am self taught in public speaking and i have done speaking to large groups ( a few thousand at a PHI THETA KAPPA meeting)..and a chapter of toastmasters at my college kept trying to get me in for yrs..thanks for the comment
I've found these hard to source in the US, I found a fair deal on a UK site once, but they didn't seem willing to sell to the US, and then they went out of stock...
i have found them on ebay before but wow the price is a lot higher than when i bought 2 of them surplus yrs ago i think i paid 15 bucks each for them
They are plentiful on Etsy
Where can I find one of those frying pans?
we love our Trangia as well a great stove
0:13 It’s not a Trangia stove, nothing to do with Trangia….although very, very occasionally some of the burners are manufactured by Trangia, most are by SVEA though. Out of the 10 or so of the large original burners I have, one is Trangia, the rest are SVEA. The pots are made by various different companies.
You don't need a sock, just a plastic bag would do.
Done this mod, great tip Blackie… mine is aluminum and planning on using it again this hunting/camping season…
Too bad they don't make them anymore.
yep a modern one out of titainum would be cool
Wo, wo, wo! Never put the burner lid on a hot burner. The seal will get burned. That is what we learn in the Swedish army. Burn it out and let it cool. You do not want that denatured alcohol in your pan.
Tht stove looks like a WW2 German mess tin
Not a good deal anymore, the money grubbing bastards that want to sell them for hundreds are to blame
