Triad Multi-Fuel Stove

Super light. Can be used for esbit block burning also. Will fit inside a 450ml titanium cup for nesting. I Recommend using a wind shield with this.

The stove primes well only if it is nearly full of alcohol, if you only add a small amount of alcohol then it often won't prime at all! It is best used with a good windshield. The stove can be blown out and the remaining fuel tipped back into the fuel bottle (after it has cooled), there are a number of drawbacks, the pot used has to be of sufficient diameter otherwise the legs are too far apart, unlike other stoves the pot can be placed on the burner before the priming cycle is completed. There is no way of adjusting the flame so it can't be used for simmering. Overall my opinion is that it is a good stove as far as meths stoves are concerned and seems to burn more efficiently than the equivalent Trangia style burner (less soot), it isn't suited for people who want to use limited fuel but this can be overcome to some extent by using a pre-primer of some kind heating the fuel before use. The older version of the triad is more efficient in use and burns most of the fuel residue, this newer version is less reliable in these respects.

This stove simply is not good enough. It looks great and is very slim but it is not practical. It does work if you want to boil 1 cup of water (300ml) but it is not very efficient. It requires a minimum of 44ml of fuel or else it will not prime. I have found dropping a penny in the centre increases its efficiency but reduces its boil time. In summary I have found this does not work for me while I'm out and about and has already been resigned to the drawer.

The only good thing I have to say about this stove is that, at 28 grammes, it's very lightweight. If you're in the market for a titanium alcohol stove, that's probably an attractive feature. However, in all other respects, this thing is very poor. It takes ages to prime, which is wasteful of fuel. It also often blows itself out during that process and needs relighting, which sucks. This is especially true if you only add a small amount of fuel (e.g. if you're just boiling some water for a cuppa or to rehydrate a meal, rather than heating something more substantial), yet if you add a more generous amount of fuel to help with the priming, it's difficult to snuff out and reclaim any unused fuel afterwards. Finally, whilst the built in legs and pot support do work, they're not particularly stable. I've bought lots of lightweight stoves for backpacking over the last couple of years, and this is easily the most disappointing purchase I've made. In contrast, the Toaks Titanium Siphon Alcohol Stove costs half the price of this white elephant and is superior in every way. It doesn't come with a pot stand, but I coupled it with the Evernew Titanium Alcohol Stove Cross Stand that fits snuggly on it, and together they still cost less than the Vargo stove. Don't waste your money on this stove!

It doesn't hold a lot of fuel for each burn, requires some modest priming beforehand to really burn well, and some kind of windscreen is essential, but with that, I was able to boil 400ml water in a titanium cup in under ten minutes in a light breeze. A great pice of kit for ultra-light, ultra-minimal adventures (but realistically? only those! still, for that it excels: pretty easy to find alcohol fuel anywhere before setting off on your adventure).

山道具の軽量化で買ってみました。 ゴトク一体、チタン、頑丈、30g。軽さ自慢UL勢はアルミ缶の底を使うらしいですが、それを除けば優勝です。 ガスバーナー：イワタニプリムスP-153（120g）＋250OD缶（新品344g）＋自作風防（8g）＝472g アルスト：これ＋アルコール（ボトル込約120g）＋チタン風防（12g）＝162g だいたい300g減です('・ω・`) まあ高い買い物じゃないし、良かったかなと。 火力は湯沸かしには十分（400ml沸騰まで5分弱）です。ただし・・ ライター必須です、BICミニライターを予備も含めて厳重防水で2つ持っていきましょう。 プレヒートの間は少しの風で消えてしまうので風防必須です。プレヒートが終わって周りの穴から燃えだしたら火力が一気に上がります、今度は風防で遮熱しないと鍋の取っ手が持てなくなります。自作アルミ風防は熱で溶けたのでチタンのを買い足しました。 ガスと違って火力調整できないし燃焼時間も限られるので、炒め物とか煮物とか凝った料理には向きません。アルファ米は湯が沸いてから15分必要で、温かい味噌汁も頂こうと思ったら2回火起こしすることになり、その間にアルコールはどんどん蒸発します。袋麺よりマシな選択肢は早茹でパスタとか、ソーセージのボイル＋3分リゾッタくらいです。 ゴトク径は9cmもないので、大きな鍋だと湯が沸くまで取っ手を離せません。 ひっくり返したら溢れたアルコールが燃え広がるので、前室含めテント内はマジ厳禁です。土砂降りでも外で使うしかないので、天気の読めない夏や長期山行はガスのほうが無難です。冬は論外。 蓋がないので残ったアルコールはストーブ冷めてからボトルに戻すことになりますが、若干コツが要ります。少し傾けると下のゴトク伝いに流れ出し、最後は上のゴトク伝いに回収します。地べたに置くと下のゴトクに砂がついたりするので、カーボンフェルトの切れ端を持っていったほうがいいと思います。 とまあまあ面倒です。これから山道具を揃える人はまずガスバーナー買いましょう、登るなら結局必要です。その上で、雪なし・天気よし・短期登山みたいな条件が揃うなら、アルストも選択肢に入ると思います。天気予報見て前日に荷物を入れ替えましょう。 んー、やっぱり趣味の道具ですね。それも込みで気に入っています。

Finition au top, très léger, très pratique, que demander de plus Assez stable sur ses 3 pieds il fournit une bonne chaleur, j’ai réussi à faire du café ou du thé avec. L’orifice plus gros faire un remplissage plus facile, et après avoir soufflé la flammes il est encore possible de transvaser (on peut écouler l’alcool grâce aux pieds)

Lightweight, practical, functional. Simply perfect.
