Sometimes I think this forum needs North American subtitles.:)
I googled 'pasty' so there's one embarrassing question out of the way....
As for the cook set, there's a kettle and some pots and pans, but the two items
in the center of the picture??? And what fuel source is this set meant for?
The handle on that kettle doesn't look like it would survive one of my
campfires...:ashamed:

Stupidly,
Jack.

[Martin]

Ha ha Jack. It's a 'spirit' burning stove. We call the fuel meths, you call it 'Heat' or denatured alcohol. The spirit burner sits inside the windshield which should be on the top but is in the bottom in that picture. Look up Trangia Jack and you'll see where they got the idea from.

Hi Jack dont worry about the word 'pasty' it has a different meaning in the South of England compared to the North of England :D Oh and it uses meths to cook :)

[treefrog]

I see. I visited the Trangia website; very nice compact little units. Never seen one over here, but I don't get out much.
All the redneck boys around here cook on campfires started with gasoline.:campfire:

[JEEP]

Trangias are the most commonly used stoves here in Scandinavie, they have been around since 1925.

[LandRoverMatt]

Well done Matt, you win a Ginsters pasty. :p

what ! no swearing Jack haha

[nicklasodh]

Anyone and his cousin in Sweden has a Trangia lying about. It is also the first "outdoor gear" most people get to use.
Traditionally the Swedish military used the same system with alcohol burners in their mess kits.
The system featured in the Ebay link resembles the Swedish "jägarkök" or "Ranger kitchen" issued to the special forces.

However multifuel burners has become the choice for most outdoor people nowadays.

Ha! "Pasty" usually refers to the color of my under-undershirt flesh when I strip down to trunks at the beach...

The only thing I could see wrong at the time was, too many pans, and the text on the box appeared to be written in some form of Elvish. It looks, at first glance, as if there's an egg in that top wind-screen, strainer looking thing. That would be rather inconvenient.

Woah, it's late. Time for bed. (Though it's only 8:58 p.m. here.)

All the best!

Top to bottom I'm gonna guess Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Danish. Yay?

:rolleyes:

Pasties aside, (Cornish and otherwise) I was mearly going to say, it contains wording in a language, most of us outside of Scandinavia don't understand, (how about a translation Jakob?) not that English will make the presentaion in the picture anymore correct!

[JEEP]

The text simply says "wind proof stove" (litteratly "storm kitchen") in Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Danish

[happybonzo]

Oh and it uses meths to cook :)

and there was me thinking it was for drinking :)

As the mines closed in Cornwall new opportunities opened for Cornishmen in the Northern Michigan Peninsula as new mines opened. Not only did they export their Tre Pol and Pen but their cuisine as well. It's the only place in the USA where you can get Pasties. It's a bit like that part of Patagonia where they speak Welsh I guess.

In the picture there is a price of 159.00 bottom left. That would be kroner, not euros I assume?

[Dan XF]

Ah Martin I'm not a fan of pastry based foods but being married to a Cornish girl means that only one thing can make a stay with the mother in law tolerable. A regular intake of Philp's finest. I even have to bring a few home with me. My little lad is a bit of a fussy eater but even he will eat a Philp's pasty, and in my mind there isn't a better recommendation. I do have to admit to popping up to St Ives for the fish and chips too. It's great having a local to guide you to the best foods.

I bought one of these stoves earlier today, just for kicks.

Initial thoughts:
-Better build quality than expected actually, though the top part of the windscreen is a very tight fit on the bottom half (may become better with use)
-The materials used are rather thin - approx. 3/4 of the thickness of a regular Trangia UL - the weight is about the same though
-The kettle came, out of the box, with a dent in the corpus
-The pot gripper is very flimsy and has some nasty sharp edges
-The frying pan sits very undtable on the "legs" and is quite prone to tipping
-The kettle and large pan has to be pressed in place with force, in order to stand horisontally on the "legs" - once jammed in there, it takes some force to remove them (and it can only be done while holding on to the windscreen), making the risk of spilling the contents of the kettle/pan quite apparent
-The burner itself takes longer to prime than a regular Trangia burner, but once primed; boil time for 0,9 L water is more or less the same as a Trangia

Colclusion: Don't waste your money on cheap knock-offs - if you want a Trangia, go for the real deal...
