- It's time for another addition to our ULTIMATE Series! This time we tackle a tuff one, the ultimate alcohol stove kit. There are many options with this one, but I chose to stick to a primarily alcohol stove specific kit. My gut was to use my Firebox Nano as a stand...but let's change it up!

ERNIE- First of all, It's YOUR KIT!!! How could it be wrong? Your Kit, Your decision! Nothing wrong with that for you.
Secondly, There it is ! I've been waiting for what I felt was the right stand for me and My Trangia stove. Thursday is my 68th Birthday and for my birthday I've ordered the Trangia 27-3 Ultralight Hard Anodized Stove Kit and was going to also order the Firebox Nano but was hesitant. This stand is what I want! This Kit will handle both stove kits for me, the Trangia 27-3 for me , family and friends OR the Trangia Spirit Burner stove with this stands for me for day excursions, overnight and what I call "Ranger Light". We had a saying in the Army Rangers about "Travel Light and Freeze at night" With this I will Travel Light and NOT freeze at night! Getting one for my Grandson who is now in the same unit I served with
Nice set up. Using a lighter, matches, or fire steel is the most common way to light an alcohol stove. You have the potential to burn your hand (lighter or short match) or knock over your stove (with a fire steel). I've done both. An alternative - find a small stick, dip it in the alcohol, light the stick as a match, light the stove.
Odd. The Click Stove made your Ultimate list. Don’t believe I’ve seen that stove before - or since! 🤪
I own both the Clikstand and the Trangia Cookset. Love them both!! The Clikstand is lighter and does great for 3 seasons. The Trangia cookset is heavier and bulkier but totally wins in a blizzard, due to the supreme windscreen. Both stoves are dramatically improved with the Trangia winter attachments that allows you to light your Trangia burner on fire to preheat the alcohol. Great review.
You are not wrong. But, as you said, its your kit. As far as the creamer, again, its your cup of coffee. Coffee can be enjoyed natural, sweet, creamy, or flavored; or even, dark roasted, mild, or even weak. Its not a competition. Whatever maximizes your enjoyment is the right thing for you and a good host would always try to satisfy his guest. There is no right answer, only the answer that is right for you. Your videos have increased my knowledge about making coffee and for that, I thank you. Keep you excellent videos coming. Ciao
I use the Firebox Nano with a trangia. This gives me the ability to use alcohol, wood, or solid fuel (with the nano plate). It all packs really small and compact in itself and you know that you will have a fuel source no matter what.
I agree! Firebox Nano is compact and with the Trangia spirit burner you can choose between wood or alcohol.
Firebox Nano is definitely an excellent choice, however, you would definitely need an additional wind screen.
It's your kit so it has to work for you and what you want to get out of it.
I have several different options. For bikepacking where I need to carry gear in my frame bag (in the triangle of the bike frame) and it needs to be narrow so it doesn't interrupt pedaling. For this, I use a Toaks Ti siphon stove and stainless steel mesh pot stand. I have added some cut up aluminium can to the inside of the mesh as a windshield. This all fits inside a 400ml Ti cup from AlpKit which in turn nests inside a Toaks Ti 750ml pot. The GSI Java Drip filter sits on top pf the pot. I carry a cloth and small ferro rod inside the cup too. All very compact and it suits my requirements well. For hiking, I might go with the Trangia if I need to cook something where simmering is required. I also use a Toaks Ti windshield (like a roll titanium foil) to wrap around pot, stand and burner as required when using the Trangia. The best thing about a stove addiction is having so many choices that satisfy whatever the particular need is for the adventure you are on.
Thanks for the great videos.
Great to have a shout out to Joe Robinette and his merch.
Depends on the application. Car or motorcycle camping, my ultimate would be the trangia 25-3 or any variation of it.
For backpacking, my ultimate is hands down for me is the fancy feast with the trangia fuel bottle and a DIY windscreen. I can interchange any pot I want with this.
Nice vid!! I Love alcohol stoves!
I got 2 models of the clic stove. Both can use the Trangia burners but one version has a slot in side so I can use a butane burner.
Just recently I saw a demonstration of pill bottle stove. Small circular pucks of firebrick (used in pizza ovens). Soak the stones with alcohol than light.
You can utilize these stones with clic stove which provides a wind shield and pot stand at same time.
Agree with you. Clikstand with a Trangia was one of my first stove kits. Spent many years trying other alky options but was never really able to do better. Lighter, yes. Better, no. The notched wings that hold the windscreen is part of what sets it apart from other similar systems. Like you, I've had lots of fun trying systems but in truth I had the best from the beginning.
I have to build one. Slowly building a camping hiking bag. This one looks interesting. I will be getting something soon. thanks for this video of yours.
Awesome,,,!!!!! Totally love the stand kit,,!!!! Throughout my backpacking years I’ve been a msr whisper lite/XGK guy. But now in my ladder years,, I really enjoy the alcohol stoves for day hikes,,etc. Enjoy and appreciate your channel,,, Joshua
I had no idea that you can still get the clikstand! Awesome. I'm picking one up Friday. Great video, thank you Ernie. I go with the trangia more often then the evernew, simply for the same reason. I can carry my fuel right in it. Just makes more sense to me.
I have just started to mess around with a Trangia stove after watching all of your alcohol stove videos. I have found that an Esbit Mini works with the Trangia so this gives me a couple of fuel choices and a small compact and light setup. Thank you for all the information.
That stand is pretty awesome. Im put off by the necessity for a huge pot tho. For coffee, I only boil 300ml so a huge pot is a waste.of space and weight.
My.kit:
Trangia.
Simple cross stand sit directly on top.
Lixada 350ml cup.
Folding lightweight windscreen.
Yep, with you on that! Dead simple with a small Ti cross stand :)
I prefer the NanoG2 & Trangia. It gives you the flexibility of using alcohol AND wood not to mention the Trangia isobutane burner. Just wish the Nano was slightly larger.
I use the Trail Designs Triway Fuel system with the Kojin EtOH stove (has lid to store EtOH in it and carbon "fluff" to keep EtOH from spilling ) the Triway cone is specially made for you pot so the whole thing will fit in the pot. It can also use solid fuel with a "Graham Cracker" stand AND wood with an extra insert. If you haven't tried it I HIGHLY recommend it!
Good choices. Those triangle style stands are a great design in my opinion. My ultimate kit is BCB firedragon,a pot from Czech mess kit and gel alcohol. Gel alcohol can be found everywhere these days as hand sanitizer and it even comes in tiny bottles. Perfect for day hikes.
The BCB fire dragon has great wind resistance without the fuss of a large wind screen. And the large diameter pot maximises heat usage. Would you test this setup on you channel? You won't be disappointed with the results, I promise. I also drink from an enamel cup which I find adds to the whole experience rather plastic cups.
Btw... You Americans spoil the coffe with your creamers. Just add ground coffee in boiled water, let is set and decant.
I've got the Clikstand, and just about EVERY other alcohol stove and related gear...................very similar to Ernie's collection. IMO the "ultimate" complete alcohol cook kit is the Trangia 25. Two pots, a kettle, a frying pan lid, and a bomber stand and windscreen that are all as perfect as the infamous burner. In second place, the Trangia 27. I just prefer the extra volume of the 25 kit for a small weight penalty, but that's my personal preference. I'll continue to use, experiment and enjoy my huge collection of stoves, but when I'm serious, it's the Trangia 25 every time.
Mine is the fancy feast teamed up with my stainless firebox nano gives me three options ,wood , esbit , and alcohol. And love it !!
Winning combination all day long!
LOVE IT!!!!! I got so happy to see you love the Click-Stand too! The only thing I have surmised after using mine though was that using only an alcohol burner on week long trips necessitates the need for a LOT of fuel. So I am putting together a kit that integrates a wood burning stove and doubles as a wind screen for my Solo Stove alcohol burner, then no worries!
Hard to beat a wood stove on longer trips with a back up of alcohol or gas for when you are beat and just want to get things done! Thanks for watching
just bought Bushbox Ultralight which works great with the Trangia burner. It will become my go-to alcohol stove pot stand until I come up with something cooler 😊
Great stuff. Love the quiet of alcohol burners. Your kit is very similar to Trangia Triangel, but the addition of a proper windscreen makes this more weather proof. Wind screen is equally as important for alcohol setups IMO
Great video and I will look to add an alcohol stove to my kit. I beat you up on a previous video but like I said, I love your channel!
Coffee always tastes better outside.
I think it´s a nice kit. I would have made a few different choices just because I already have some items I could include. The Trangia would defintely be in my kit too for the reasons you stated.
That is a pretty nice kit. Thanks for sharing
Nice choice Ernie. There are many spirit burner choices out there, but none beat the versatility of the Trangia👍
Nah, lots of em do. I mean, you need a stand with a trangia, first off. Second, carrying a meals worth of fuel in the can doesn't mean crap unless you're just out for a CZcams coffee video. They crack when you run em long enough in cold weather and then they leak, they have all sorts of extra parts to not drop. Adding the extreme cold weather accessories adds even more bits and weight. Most any well designed diy stove woops up on the trangia pretty easily.
100% with you on this, the Clickstand is for me the ultimate light weight yet flexible burner stand, one can use gas, Ethonol and solid fuel. Its very wind resistant when used with the windshield.
In Titanium it's unbelievably light and can be carried in a pocket.
So I can use small-diameter cooking pots or my Turkish coffee pot (Ibrik) I took a Tangia pot stand and cut the outside pieces off to leave a 3 legged stand that fits into the pointed pot supports of the Clikstand.
If using a frying pan one just needs to open up the windshield a bit and place on the ground and it still gives some wind protection.
Good deal!
Great vid and I do like your non-arrogant approach to right/wrong best/worst etc. May I point out one error you made regarding pot size on the click-stand - At the sides of the raised 'pot holder' tabs are notches. These are to take 3 tent pegs which will then support a smaller diameter pot (note, the click-in base should be in the lower slots to allow for the drop in pot height). All the best.
The no creamer coffee was the biggest surprise!
And was that INSTANT coffee?
I found out that I can use Nespresso coffee pods with an Aero Press to make top notch coffee. You can use a pour over system if you prefer. I like the pod because it's measured for 7 oz of water and it keeps the coffee dry since it's air tight. They're compact and lightweight. All you need is a knife to open the aluminum seal and you can buy them off Amazon if you don't want to go through Nespresso's website.
That is a great kit and I agree with your reasoning.
For me for alcohol it’s the Trangia and fancy feast stove.
I like Tokes titanium pots.
I don’t like metal cups, I prefer plastic or silicone.
With the variety of gear available these days if you can’t build a kit to suit yourself then you’re not trying 😊
It's all your fault, Ernie! My cook kit is a brick: Firebox Nano G2 and a Trangia Spirit Burner (along with the Firebox X-Case and an Olicamp Convector windscreen). I keep buying new alcohol stove kits trying to cut my weight and keep coming back to the old brick kit because I enjoy using it so much more.
It's frustrating that the Clikstand costs as much as a Firebox Nano when the Nano is so much more versatile. Sure the Clikstand is lighter, but at 2.0 oz for the stand and 3.4 oz for the Trangia you've already blown all illusions of an ultra light kit (you can built a Toaks kit with cup, stand, and burner at only 5 oz).
Really cool🙂 I love that stand. I’ve had the evernew stove. I just went a different route I guess. I have a bushbuddy in a mors pot.
I’m a big fan of the Evernew Appalachian Ti set. It’s super lightweight, the stove, stand and windshield nests in the cup and it’s the perfect size for a cup of coffee (two if you want to share!). Only downside is the lack of a simmer ring and lid for the stove. Don’t mind the Trangia mini too!
I have the exact same setup but with a Toaks ti pot and it's awesome. Worth the hit on shipping and import tax getting the Clikstand sent to the UK.
Also the Clislcksatnd with windshield rolled up around a Nalgene bottle for fuel, Evernew or Trangia burner, lighter, folding spoon and a small Ferro rod will all fit into a GSI stainless-steel kettle with ease, or the anodised aluminium GSI kettle with some gentle persuasion.
I like an alcohol stove because it can weigh just a few grams. For this reason my Trangia stays in storage. On the trail I base my kit on the Fancee Feest alcohol stove. It needs no stand but I use it inside one of my little stick stoves. Yes...I take two stoves with me and both are fun. Thanks for the video...See you on the trail!
Very good choices. . . 🤠👍
Can’t really argue with your choice. 👍
Shoulda had the creamer. Life is too short. Loving the Ultimate series.
100% agree...I forgot it :(
Trangia cross bracket pot stand and tin foil as a wind burner. I like the fact that you can securely carry some (i use) bio-ethanol in the trangia.
Now that is just I've been looking for for this coming season. It looks far more useful to me than the Trangia Triangle. Unfortunately it's unavailable on Amazon uk at present. Thank you and good wishes from Wales.
Nice one. Sometimes the obvious/popular/common choice is just so for a good reason.
Your not wrong the click stand is a great little stove. It's also easy to assemble after you do it a few times. Light weight , packs small and in titanium cools quickly. Stoves...The Evernew titanium stove if it was more like the Trangia it would surpass the Trangia by miles Primarily due to the light weigh and the ability to cool quickly. The main problem with the Evernew stove it that it's a fuel hog. It has to be due to the extra set of holes/jets. In reality , all of us don't own/drive the same type of vehicle and it's the same when using alcohol stoves. For me it's the Evernew Titanium Appalachian set beats all the rest when it comes to only using alcohol as a fuel.
Nice looking setup, Ernie. I can appreciate the change-up. I disagree, though...I think the Nano's versatility still makes it the better choice, at least for me. Take care down there. We got a foot of snow and more on the way up here.
Now that's a nifty kit.
Hello Dr. Ernie,
Pretty good kit, but I still liked your Sterno Inferno used with the alcohol stove. Must faster boil times and less fuel use making ETOH more viable of a fuel for longer hikes. Since your video the Sterno Inferno is what I use for short hikes, but dislike that it is not good for wood fire as I always like this option. Maybe I like it for day hikes, but would choose something more versatile for longer times in the woods. Thanks again for another good video.
I have the Clikstand and Trangia. My only issue and it’s a very small one, is the windscreen rolling up. It’s a little bulky. Otherwise it’s great. One hack I do is to cut up a coat hanger to get three small sections. I lay them across the Clikstand creating a sort of triangle so I can use a small cup.
Love the alcohol stove but like my knockoff firebox stove to place the burner in. Just more options when out in the woods. Hate to be stuck with only one fuel source.
Firebox Nano because of multi use. IF for some reason you lost your bottle of alcohol you have other fuel options unlike using an alcohol specific stand.
I'm loving the ultimate serious intro
Thanks! Worked hard on it :)
Nice kit Ernie . I’m not into that mug though😏. Your Japanese wood carved mug would be a better choice 😉 thanks for sharing👍
Nothing wrong with those choices - except the lack of creamer LOL. While they still seem way overpriced I enjoy using the Trangia Triangle setup.
Great video, I like that stand because it is so flexible. Alcohol, solid fuel or gas burner? Your choice. Titanium or stainless steel, plus if you use the little tabs on top with some tent stakes you can use smaller pots. What's not to like?
I pass over the trangia stove because of weight. I’d vote the Trail Designs Sidewinder with an Evernew 1.2L ultralight pot and a Zelph Starlyte stove. It will store excess fuel if necessary. Strong competition for a smaller mug would be a Flat Cat Gear Snow Leopard system with a 550, 650 or 750 mug. Both sets combine the pot stand and windscreen and the stoves are much lighter by UL standards.
Trangia spirit burner on the 27-4 storm. Works like a charm ;) Backup with me at all times? Nano Gen 2 Ti.
That Clickstand is cute but very bulky. The roll-up windscreen alone negates the rest of the system, as I believe the Caldera Cone does funneling the heat much better and without the added weight of a stand. Also, the Caldera Cone stores better in a pack and...the Clickstand is a 'One-trick Pony'. Trangia shaped alcohol burners, that's it. As for the 'best of the best'? Gram for gram, easy to store in a pack and just straight up versatility? Imo, NOTHING...beats the Goshawk Siphon EDDY-X burner(without the crappy stand) in a Firebox Ultralight Nano Stove, especially if you can afford the Titanium version which is SO worth it. Alcohol, Solid fuel, Charcoal, Wood? If it burns? It works! and it makes a great windscreen/stove for a gas burner, all at 4 ounces including a cute little metal storage bin that of course, doubles an your ash catch. Checkmarks in the Win column all the way down the list. 😉
For me I like the cat food can stove with the titanium wind screen , and the 550ml toaks ultralight pot but more clumsy than yours but is super super light , and have 7 or 8 oz Nalgene alcohol bottle and use 2 rubber bands to keep top on with a zpacks cubin fiber cook kit pouch , the cat food can has its own pot stand which is thin stainless and fiberglass wicking felt , 1 oz of fuel gets 2 cups going for meals and coffee
Trangia and Crusader BCB mk2 cook stove , all i ever needed for a stove
Ok guickclick looks great. Will it fit with the preheater on trangia stove??
I bought a acohol stove and stand from someone in Arizona, ive a moka pot for my cup i have to add 2 oz extra water therefor I get a full 4 cups in my insulated cup
I like the spoon set. And the burner stand. One question is - can the simmer ring be used?
If I could readily assemble the Toaks pot stand I’d give it the nod but I always have to fiddle with it.
I wish the Firebox Nano G2 weighed less but love the flexibility so using it with a Trangia or Evernew burner is great. I prefer the Trangia if I plan to simmer. That never seems to work with the Evernew/Trangia simmer ring (if it can be done well someone say). I carry alcohol on a dual chamber bottle. Don’t recall where I got it years and years ago. I think Litesmith may sell something similar.
Very cool, and yes, many people love the Trangia and stick with it lifelong.
I am sure kit selection doesn't have to be rational to be ultimate - as different we are as unique are our decisions and selections based on our experience and memories and preferences and what not ;-) So I love to see these whats and hows of others' kits.
As most probably all of us I have quite a few favourite kits (😜)and one of my most favourite ones is a Swiss army gel stove (M71) filled with medical spirit (ethanol) instead of the original gel (I don't get such gel here but every pharmacy has medical spirit), carried inside a simple Indian mug with fixed handle, including a home made wind screen and a home made lid for the mug. As accessories I carry a ferro rod and an Opinel for ignition. And I carry all that set/kit packed in an old camera bag. Ultimate! 😁🤣😁
Dunno about "cool morning" 18°F here in mid TN over an inch of ice on the ground and its snowing. 13 is the low tonight then it looks like we'll be on our way out of the vortex. Then maybe I can get out in the woods. I do think that is a pretty good choice, with all the possibilities out there everyone will have their own favorite. Maybe just memories of simpler times or nostalgia drive everyone's personal choice, ultimately.
I thought that too. I guess we don't know when this made.
another nice video! ordering a trangia soon!
Good choice!
@@PaleoHikerMD Got a question about fuel, can you use 70% "rubbing" alcohol as a fuel in the trangia?
I don’t mind the extra little weight to carry an Ohuhu gasifier which fits perfectly into a Quechua cooking pot and a trangia inside it...I got a rolling boil for 1 litre in 12.4 minutes
I used esbit stove for ages but changed to bushbox ultralight which I think is better, and has a trivit for smaller cups
I just tried my trangia in my silverfire scout wood stove, with the silverfire dragon pot. Why? Well - because I really wanted to try out my new mini dragon pot, and I like stoves that can use multiple fuel sources. The scout is not designed as multifuel, though. The mini dragon is a double wall pot that is made to fit over the silverfire scout stove, and capture all the heat. I just set the trangia in the bottom of the wood chamber, thinking it wouldn't work because it was way to far from the pot, no where near the magic 1". This combination boiled 2 cups of water in about 4:20. That said, the clickstand is high on my list of things to buy. Looks great.
Personally I like a wind screen that extends to near the top of the pot using a pot with a bail. The heat is retained along a larger area of the pot as well as less area to cool down. It helps heat a bit faster and consequently saves a bit of fuel. I’ve run out of fuel prematurely, although that was my fault because I hadn’t calculated the extra fuel needed at higher altitudes (I have a Docooler breakdown Solo knock off so I could just use indigenous fuel). Nevertheless, I do everything I can to conserve fuel and bring a bit of extra as well.
Hi Ernie. In my opinion, you have come pretty close to the ultimate alcohol stove with that setup. The thing that makes the Trangia system work so well is the two part combined wind shield/burner holder/pot stand. The Click Stand with wind shield goes some way to emulating the Trangia system but in a more compact and easy to transport, light weight package. Please can you tell me if the Trangia burner simmer ring can be used with the Click Stand? With the simmer ring rotated to the fully open position, does it fit inside the walls of the Click Stand. Thank you.
I have the Clikstand, windscreen and Trangia. For the weight I switched to a Snow Peak Gigapower. Laziness and impatience are virtues aren’t they?
Does look like a nice spot Ernie. Maybe a vid to give us some more info on it? How remote is the cabin? I was a bit disappointed last cabin we got in the Smokeys. It ended up being in like a cabin subdivision.
Yeah, I research and ask the owners specifics about how "remote" it is. Tired of being next to 10 other "remote" cabins LOL.
Ernie, the only thing I'd change is the pot and I'd use the nano. Excellent point about being able to carry fuel in the stove. Was surprised you didn't go with the Nano but you addressed that. Id go with the nano so, like the reasoning for your choosing the Trangia for its extra feature of fuel storage, the nano would be an additional tool for different fuels.
Loving The Ultimate series, Doc!
Thanks man! I have to change it up, and like showcasing other items that I have not in the past. The nano is hard to beat for sure.
@@PaleoHikerMD oh im getting that click-it stove stand, lol. Just talking Ultimate lol
Curious why the Click over the Caldera Cone?
Love the channel. I’m planning my ultimate cook set using the Solo Lite as the stand for my alcohol stove. I’ve just got to fashion a windscreen and play around with pot options. Ideally I will burn twigs and carry 12oz of Heet as a backup fuel source. This is for 5-8 day backpacking trips. Just curious if you have played around with the Solo Lite as a pot stand and/or if you have done anything using that combination and a windscreen.
I have not, but it seems like a good option. I've always stuck to the Firebox Nano since it's so well fitted to the trangia. If I want a bigger stove, I've started using the Firebox Gen2 Titanium 5 Inch. It's expensive, but its a beast as well. Maybe I'll mess around with the Solo lite more when I get my shop finished and my gear back out of storage! Thanks for watching
Where can you get a stand like that
My water would be near boiling with my nano/Evernew combination by the time you get that set up. 😂 Always firebox.
I'm not allowed to watch anymore of your videos, sorry... I order every damn stove you highlight. My wife cut me off. Lol... awesome set up really like that stove, and yes I ordered it, it's a sickness 🤣
Well...every time people comment "have you tried this stove?", and I haven't, I end up ordering it LOL. so it works both ways :)
@@PaleoHikerMD try the Bushbox Ultralight 🙃
Sadly the ClickStand is not available in the UK. But I have made 3 stainless steel ears that convert my Trangia Triangle stand with a strip of . 03 Titanium sheet for the windshield I have the same facility.
But would still buy a ClickStand if one came up for sale in the UK.
Thanks for the vlogs
Take care
Hi! Thank you for the revue.
Why do you think that this setup is better than the Toaks TiStand Pot Stand + trangia burner?
Well, when I put this kit together I did not own the TiStand, and now I do. I certainly could see using the Toaks, especially if you don't want or need the solid fuel option. Thanks for watching!
What fuel are you burning with Ernie?
Well I hate to say it but there are so many different variations of the perfect alcohol stove that there is no perfect alcohol stoves. Also it's not a matter of being right or wrong or perfect as I said just too many variations some are very very good some are no-brainers and some have had a lot of creativity. Is there a perfect one I would say no thank you have a nice day good video.😎
If you're going to carry a stove, a fuel bottle, windscreen, stand, mug, leather gloves, pot, etc. Why not just a jetboil? winter I suppose?
it's an alcohol stove kit video isn't the jetboil butane?
Well...because then it would not be an alcohol stove kit :)
@@PaleoHikerMD fair enough. 2👍
My favorite kit comes from one of your videos. The Trangia of course, paired with the Sterno Inferno. I have been using it on almost every day hike this winter, make soup and a cup of coffee of tea. The Trangia fits inside the Sterno Inferno base and pot kit with a small cloth and bic lighter. Because it comes with the integrated 500 ml pot it is compact and boils water quicker then any other alcohol system I have tried.
Same here but I use the evernew burner. It will usually go into thermal runaway but I never load more than 1 ounce so it can only runaway so far! I ditch the stand on the bottom of the pot stand and I replaced the lid with a universal lid from Survival Resources. I can boil two cups of water before the one ounce runs out, less than 2 and a half minutes.
Yeah, the Sterno inferno is the bomb. Makes any alcohol stove so much better!
Well, since you asked for input on why you were wrong here you go. The trangia is great, but if you just go for a day hike why not fill the trangia and just take it without the fuel bottle? Then it is a good setup. The evernew is lighter, for a multi day trip, the fuel bottle would be necessary, but the lighter stove would make me feel like a true gram weanie. That said, I don’t own the trangia. The toaks titanium alcohol stove and toaks titanium stand are the only two pieces of kit I need. I have the toaks titanium windscreen if needed. I do agree the evernew pot is my choice also. As I have the titanium evernew kit I struggle not to just take the stand too, it doubles as a not bad wood stove too. If you read to the end of my critique, you realize I have a bunch of stoves and just want to RESIST buying your nice setup too. Ernie, thanks for your videos, always informative and entertaining.
The Toaks Siphon and TiStand are a solid choice, and although I own them now, I did not at the time if filmed this video. Given the limitations of the Clikstand from the aspect of pot size, I might switch it out for the Toaks stand at this point. Thanks for watching!
@@PaleoHikerMD I just recently got the Goals. I wonder if the inside jets don't boil water faster as flame seems more focused. The stand is sort of fidley, using only three of the four pieces for a smaller pot works great. Thanks for the vids and reply.
I believe you have the 0.6 liter Trangia Kettle. Does that work with the Click Stand and windscreen combo?
I'll have to check!
Thank you! I have a 27 with the Kettle and also a second spirit burner. It would be cool to cook with the 27 setup and at the same time, use the second burner with the kettle and clikstand.
Have you ever thought of doing athe ultimate French Press coffee ? They make pretty good coffee . I would say just under cowboy coffee. I know your a doctor but a little salt takes the bitter out of the coffee . Anyways I have a few Trangia stoves but I have been using some lixada stands and stoves lately. . I like Trangia stove with my lixada stands . Take care and stay safe my friend !!!
Well....maybe I have not only thought of doing it...but have done it :) Stay tuned!
@@PaleoHikerMD Awesome !! I cant wait to see it !!
Do you think that this ultimate ultimate stove kit will still be your ultimate kit in six month's time? From personal experience I doubt it. My present kit runs to a Trangia burner, a stainless steel wire bi-fold pot stand, a lighter and scouring pad which fit inside a 400ml Ti cup with lid, inside a 750ml Ti pot with bail and lid which in turn fits inside an Ikea hobo stove. Food is carried inside a hard anodised mess tin which also has a lid and this can be used to boil or fry. That's my ultimate kit, at present, but in six month's time ,,,, who knows? Big boys always like to play with their toys.
A bag to put that stove, stand and windscreen in
This is genuinely very similar to the Xboil 😅 the only difference is the Xboil is lighter 🤔
I'm not arguing with you. I bought it =)
you look like starlord ernie, nice kit, greetings from the Philippines
I don't ever try to make an "ultimate" kit like you mentioned, I'm not someone who cares about completeness currently. Its mostly about weight, then functionality. Also, I am lazy and wanted to acquire it all in one place vs mix and match. Went with QiWiz Dual Fuel Burner and a 550 toaks light.
Totally get that, and when I go out with weight in mind, then the kits are different. The ultimate series is just a fun way for me to mix and match gear. Thanks for watching!
@@PaleoHikerMD oh yeah, definitely understood where you were coming from. Was just answering your question you posed to us as best I could. Thanks for the video upload.
What's up big E? I can't help but notice you lack a CHS style burner. You want me to send one or you gonna take some time and watch Tetkoba and make your own?
I'll have to make one at some point...they look very cool! If you want to send one I'm game...email me at paleohikermd@gmail.com Thanks for watching man :)

They are crazy! They got to come down eventually...
@@PaleoHikerMD right I think I’ll try the quickclick steel one not bad price
