The original heat source for a Trangia stove, the complete burner is available as a spare. It is silent, simple with no moving parts, durable and easy to use. It is easy to light in hot, cold or windy conditions and is lightweight and easy to store between camps. Approximate burn time for 1 litre of water in still wind conditions - 10 minutes. The Trangia spirit burner is recommended for use in everyday situations, such as short trips (a couple of days), especially during summer time when high power is not required. It is easy to use, due to the simple construction. The burner works even at severe cold (below -10 degrees Celsius) if used together with the winter attachment. The fuel is rather cheap. It takes longer to reach the boiling point (compared to when using a gas burner), partly due to lower power. The spirit burner produces more soot than the gas burner.
