A trangia burner I was expecting something better

 

[lol]

In a thread entitled. " Something better than a Trangia Burner"?

I must admit, it is all a little sad.......

"So, what have you done today, that is productive and leaves the world a better place?"
" I polished up the burner from an old Trangia stove....."
"What?"
" ...and then I posted the pictures on line..."

(Doesn't look good written out...)

My trangia burner won't go out! (Yes I know how that sounds!) I mean when I put the simmering ring on and it's closed, it just keeps burning, resulting in a waste of meths. Any ideas why?

You will still get air getting under the simmer ring, just screw the cover back on

Will that not burn the rubber seal? Never used one before it was a gift I got earlier this year, came with a pot stand from Alpkit.

It should go out before it can burn the seal.incidentally when using the burner put a drop of water in with the meths, it will give a cleaner burn

 

[lol]

I always just take the seal out?

This is a strange one Woodlander.

Snuffing the flame should not be a problem using the simmer lid when it's fully closed off and placed over the flame.
After extinguishing screw your sealed lid on to save evaporation of fuel when the burner has cooled down a little.
Some say burning a Trangia dry can damage it and cause very small cracks around the top of the burner below the jets.
Have you had a good look to check on that?
I tend to just drop the simmer cap onto the burner rather than place it on.........never had a problem putting the flame out yet.....maybe try that?
Also, make sure the simmer plate is a snug fit on the lid......not too loose?

 

[Harry Palmer]

Take the seal out of the lid and drop lid on burner, no need to try and screw it on, you won't snuff it out just using the simmer ring.

@Harry Palmer

I beg to differ there Harry .....there is no problem snuffing it out with the simmer ring........if it is a genuine Trangia burner.
As long as that sliding plate is closed off fully and is a tight fit
Never had any difficulty or problem with mine.

@Woodlander

Just had a look at your link mate.........it mentions a Bruler burner?
So have you got a Bruler burner or a Trangia burner??
I can only speak for the Trangia as I have no experience with the Bruler burner.
