Alocs Camp Cookset 10 Pieces Review | Meths/Spirits/Alcohol Stove

This is a review of the Alocs cookset which is very similar to the Trangia meths style stove. It uses pure alcohol/spirits to cook the food and comes complete with two separate pots and lid plus a frying pan. The whole lot is aluminium and also comes with a universal handle, flame adjuster and pot stand.

I’ve used one of these (summer camping) for about 4 years now. I LOVE cooking on it especially breakfast on a quiet morning.

I want to order trangia 27-6 but the kettle only 0, 6liter to small😮?

It's all aluminum anodized in roughly the same shade of charcoal gray as Esbit's product line. I guess that coating makes it a little safer to cook in. Also, adding coloring to the methylate is smart because it makes both it and the flame easier to see. The best way to see it through direct sunlight if you don't want to hold your hand over it is to look at the ground next to the cookset. The boiling air generated by the flame will cast a shimmering shadow.

You made some good points in your video, and i also think it's a good looking kit! I have this one, and a Trangia 27 will be arriving tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to doing a head to head comparison of the two. I would say, a fella aint hurtin' with either!

Really cool cookset. Thanks for showing it to us.

Nice review of this kit, something to consider if you don't already have the trangia full kit, I will stick with my tried and trusted trangia which for less money came with a kettle, thanks

I've used a genuine all-aluminum Trangia for a few years with good results. However, seeing bits of aluminum dust on my drying cloth after dinner clean-up, I changed out both pots and the fry pan for nonstick aluminum. Trangia only has their original aluminum teapot so purchased an anodized version from Red Camp that was similar in size and fits inside the original Trangia pots. Aluminum has been linked to various health issues. I wish that Trangia would make an anodized teapot.

Was toying with one of these. Aint used trangia type cookset in years. Can't help thinking it'll just get left of my kit shelf

[ahilbilyredneksopinion]

So...now that you have had it Fer a year, do you like it, love it, or hate it?recommend it?and you should do a year of use review....loved yer vid.thanks.

[paulwhitaker]

Hiya Adam, did you find the spirit burner damaged the hard coating on the pans or was it ok .

[botakk]

Well done i already buy this item today

[willisblevins]

Nice looking cook set good show thanks

[johnakyle]

My triangia came with a kettle, long time ago mind. I did upgrade to the non stick after a while but even though it was official triangia the coating came off dead easy, so it can't do any harm to try a different brand ..

[BackpackingwithBuckley]

That's neat! I've never seen one like that!

[GusExplores]

It does look a good bit of kit but not sure the advantages over a trangia. Why do you need a lid and a frying pan. Cheers for sharing and reviewing.

[konemies]

How this set is going on 2024? Is it still on use? I have been consider to orderet it.. Would you recommed it? Sorry for my english. Cheers from Finland m8

The king of aliexpress ohh yeeaahhh. Great review

[pedro_claro]

A trangia 27 or 25 fully anodized would cost me 150€ or 170€ respectively. That means this is if you wanted the extras this comes with.
- If you consider it has a pot lid, you'd have to spend extra 10€ to get one with a trangia. 10€ extra for a trangia bag (although it would be a far better one). 10€ for the pot adapter for smaller pots (which this one can hold from the factory.

The link provided costs 85€, i've found it for 77€. and it is on sale on
TBH if I were in the UK i'd buy the cookset, which is literally an improvement upon the trangia in every way.
The cons being a lack of spare parts availability (but you can use trangias), the lack of a burner plastic bag which is absolutely necessary to prevent the metals to react to each other and ruin the whole thing, plus to prevent alcohol leekage. The pot holder is fiddly, and the lid passable. Otherwise? Astounding value.

Improvements:
You can get a better pot grabber or add a spring to this one to use it as tongs.
Make a DIY pot Cozy for the inner pot to keep foor warm while eating or to rehidrate food with less fuel. See SOTO navigator.
Buy a Trangia Disc for extra 10€ - it's a cutting board, lid, pot scratch protector and a strainer.
