Ordered, and received this Trangia Mini a few days ago, and thought I'd do an unboxing and review of it. I've seen it designated the 28-T before, although the Trangia site just calls it a Mini. Doing this inside, as it's raining outside.
Specs:
0.8 liter aluminum sauce pan
15 cm, or 5.90551 inch non stick aluminum lid/fry pan
Spirit burner w/ simmer ring
"Windshield"
Handle
The box:
Stacking instructions:
Unboxed. Note the dimples in the lid, to enable it to snap to the lip on the sauce pan:
Lid off. Has instructions included:
Components separated:
The handle will snap to the bowl, but it's not really necessary. It would get hot if you left it on:
The bottom of the sauce pan is embossed, so it will sit on the windshield correctly:
The lid is the same way, to sit on the sauce pan while boiling:
Although not quite, we'll be testing boil time with 2 cups of cold tap water:
Using denatured alcohol:
I didn't measure the alcohol, but here's a shot of how much I put in:
This is what 2 cups looks like in the sauce pan. I guess you could add a little more:
Lit the burner, and waited for it to bloom:
The time I put the water on the burner. Do not adjust your computer screen, my phone's screen has about had it:
Waiting for boilage:
Time it took for it to attain a rolling boil. A total of 9 minutes:
Simmer ring snuffed the flame right out:
Didn't seem to use too much:
How it goes back together. The springiness of the handle holds it all in place, to where it doesn't rattle at all. Works well:
Obviously, this was done indoors, so there was no wind involved. Notice on the specs, I put windshield in parentheses. It's more of just a stand. It's not gonna block too much wind. A wind screen would be necessary. I had read before of the expected boil time to be 10-13 minutes, so 9 was a reasonable result indoors.
Do I like it? Yes I do, and am looking forward to getting out and using it. I think it was worth the $29.95 shipped I paid for it.
Thanks for looking.
