TRANGIA Vs Budget Ti STOVE | BOUNDLESS Titanium any good?

Today I will compare a Budget Titanium alcohol stove to the Original Trangia and see if it is any good, or just crap! Titanium is expensive so when I found a cheaper option I just had to try, and see how it compares to Trangia. The boundless also comes with an included pot stand...amazing and surprising at that price.

The Evernew clone does have one cool feature. You can simmer by putting the pot directly on the stove(after it has reached full bloom)without the need for a simmer ring or a pot stand. It also will give you surprisingly long burn times in this mode.

Good choice Robert. I stopped a little before the end so may have missed something BUT the Trangia has a lid, so no need to burn it out: just snuff it out and use the remaining fuel another time. So it saves fuel.

I use the evernew stove with pot stand with either a Soto thermostack set or a Titanium mug depending on what i am doing. The evernew blooms much faster than the boundless "copy" stove that you have tried out. The evernew was expensive but i believe it is worth the extra money. For a simple robust quick boil it is hard to beat. I have had gas stoves fail in the past with seals getting damaged or the jet blocked.

Your Evernew copy burner without wicking inside will start gasifying burning much faster by simply waving by hand as Hiram Cook adviced. The evaporation from holes gets wasted into air, but helping that start burning will heat up the burner much faster.

Myself I am not much fan of my Tomshoo titanium burner, same as yours with a different name. Except using it without pot stand. Then it is very fuel efficient, slow of course. With stands it burns spirit fast.

great review ! thank you. Subbed, your videos are fantastic glad I found them ! One thing I discovered online (and tried) is that by putting a tuna can lid under the boundless stove and adding a few drops of fuel you have a priming ring. My time to prime now is less than a minute. Trangia still fast probably due to the carbon felt inside stove though. And a windscreen is a must of course.

I have a 40 years old Trangia and that needs 2-3 minutes to prime. I read about Trangia nowadays using fiberglass as a wick inside the double wall to prime quicker - maybe the Boundless Ti doesn't have a wick. I very much like the stainless Tatonka, which can hold much more fuel and allows for a longer burn time to cook a whole meal. It comes without a lid and a simmer-ring, so I had to DIY them.
If I'm hiking in a woody area, my go-to stove is a wood-gas stove or a hobo, above the tree line it will always be a gas stove.
Stay safe and a happy X-mas time

Damn. The reason I clicked on this video was because I thought you were going to test these outside.

The material that the burner is made from makes a difference as well. The titanium cools extremely fast and in cold temperatures heats up slower. The same with alluminium burners. There is a reason the Trangia usually wins in cold weather and has stayed basically the same for so many years.

I haven't used a alcohol stove yet. I'm currently shopping for one. I do like my ozark trail gas burner. Not sure of the weight, but it's small. I have a very cheap esbit stove, which I've used just for fun. Honestly I'm not impressed with those tablets. Anyway, that's for your video. I appreciate it.

Found your channel after buying the boundless. It is my first alcohol stove so I’m a newbie to them. Only cost 18 usd with shipping so hope it works out.

[Sokol]

Probable this Boundless Ti don't have wick in internal camera, what help in priming time, Trangia have a line wick, and Evernew a fiberglass wick.

Anyway, use a metal lid under the Boundless Ti with some drops of alcohol for preheating, should have more fast priming.

Traildesigns sell prime pan for $2.99.

i use the trail designs Caldera Cone with Kojin alcohol stove and 8oz bottle of fuel for most of my solo trips. if I'm going with a group i typically take my BRS 3000 canister stove.

Had two brass copies of the Trangia, the Highlander one was almost as good but the Chinese copy was not very good. Started using a tin with a fire rope in it, light and cheap, it's fine for boiling water on a day hike but not so good for longer journeys. Just got an aluminium Tomshoo alcohol burner, not very solidly built but extremely light. Might need a plastic container to protect it on longer journeys. Haven't had a chance to use it yet. I've experimented over time and some of the burners seem to work much better with taller pot stands than what you generally get, especially with Chinese copies.

[MrTomi]

I use trangia for years. Exelent product. Peace of advice, in cold weather like -15 i cary burner in my pocket. If fuel gets very cold you could have problem lighting it up.

[johnw]

I'm looking for a cross stand for my Trangia burner, how high does the Evernew Titanium Pot Stand put the pot above the burner please?

Intressant jämförelse, blir en sub på din kanal Robert! Blev nyfiken på innehållet med uteliv.

[fjoeset]

Thanks for a good review.
A bit off topic but
Speaking of the Soto Amicus. Do you have any support for the canister other than the ones that nature gives? I find mine a bit unstable with just a canister.

[neillmorris]

How do you extinguish the boundless stove?

[jacuswoczega]

To have cap, or not to have. Is it important for You ? Have options to stop burning and get rest away is sometimes significant

[frankroper]

Where do you get cheap alcohol? It is 4 X higher than gas here!
