The Trangia burner runs on Tenol or methylated spirits, which are cheap, safe and easily available. Tenol is cleaner, while methylated spirits has somewhat higher output. About 10-15% water can be mixed with the methylated spirits to reduce blackening of the pans. The burner is most efficient when filled to 2/3 capacity.
Trangia sell purpose-made fuel bottles in two sizes, 0.5 and 1.0 l. They are manufactured in polyeten and fitted with a specially designed safety valve. The bottles are approved by the German TÜV (Technischer Überwachungsverein). They are tested regularly.

Remember that the fuel bottle must be kept out of the sun and protected from excessive heat. Spirit evaporates at 60º, so it must not come into contact with sources of ignition.

The Trangia stove can also run on bottled gas. Gas burners are available as an alternative in the Trangia range. Bottled gas gives a high output and it is easy to regulate the heat.
