The gas burner is easy to use, has a fast cooking time and keeps the pans soot free. Suits many users and all types of outdoor life. Gas is a clean fuel with high energy density. Running your stove on gas does not demand any priming or pumping and it will not leave any soot or odor.
Trangia gas burner runs on gas cartridges with Propane/Butane/Isobutane mixture. The valve is international standard: EN417 threaded valves (7/16 NS Lindal Valve).
These cartridges are available in most countries around the world. There are many different brands of cartridges available on the market. Gas canisters are normally available in 3 different sizes 100 g, 230 g and 450 gram. For cold temperatures we recommend Primus Winter Gas, it works effectively down to -22°C.
The Quality of the cartridge and gas may vary. Well known brands of high-quality gas cartridges are: Primus, MSR, Optimus & Jet boil. In Sweden you buy gas at most outdoor shops, petrol stations, grocery stores and hardware stores such as Jula, Biltema, ÖoB, and Claes Ohlson.

The gas burner consumes 150g of gas/hour if turned on at full power. Then a gas cartridge of 230 g burns for about 1.5 hours. (You normally never need to run the burner at full power, but for calculation purposes) 1L of water takes about 4 minutes to bring to the boil , and consumes approx. 14 g of gas (this may vary depending on weather and fuel quality).
