Cons

Long boil times

The Mini Trangia Mini shares some attributes with the larger Trangia 27. Two main obvious things are the burner and the nesting of pieces to form a complete stove system.

The Mini includes a spirit burner (with screw lid, and snuff/simmer ring), pot stand, .8L pot, non-stick fry pan (doubles as pot lid), and pot lifter. The pot has a rim on the bottom to help stabilize it on the pot stand. The fry pan also has a small rim to position it on the the pot (when used as a lid). The packed weight is 12.3 oz (348 g).

The burner nest in the stand, the stand nests in the pot, and the handle rests on top of the burner. The fry pan then snaps onto the pot completing the packed unit. The fry pan snaps on tight enough that the packed stove does not fall apart in your pack. There is no stuff sack included, nor available from Trangia. The Mini does not really require a stuff sack, but I prefer one to keep the aluminum from rubbing on things in my pack and leaving a silver/gray residue.

In my testing the Mini took 7 1/2 minutes to boil 2 cups (~500ml) of water. This is about one minute longer than the Trangia 27. The pot holder does not provide any wind protection, and boils times can increase significantly in real use on the trail if a separate wind screen is not used.
