You're welcome and thanks for the question. I like to cook good homestyle food when I'm out there and this mod was driven by my desire to have long cooking times, comparatively less volume of fuel to carry for longer trips. I can also use gasoline from the bike in a pinch. The only time I use the Trangia alcohol burner now is for silent cooking. It's a bit of a challenge to regulate for low heat. This seems to be a common issue with most white gas burners. Lower tank pressure helps. I have cooked anything I wanted with this burner; eggs, steak, bacon, vegetables, sauces, etc for several weeks continuous with no issues at all. No issues with frying but the bottom of the Trangia pots are pretty close to the burner. Just have to be careful, run the heat as low as possible, lift the pot a bit if it gets too hot. If you're inclined to use Iso or propane, the heat seems much easier to control. Likely because the valve is better suited to fuel already being in gaseous state. I'm guessing the needle isn't great at fine-feeding liquid fuel then having it expand to some unpredictable volume. Also propane is naturally "colder" at 75% of the BTU value of white gas/gasoline.
@@NWOntarioAdventure-ee1ydthank you for the elaborate answer! I'm a big Trangia fan (I use it with a gas burner) and now I'm researching on the liquid fuel burners for colder seasons. Indeed the heat control seems to be a common challenge. Nevertheless I found out that Primus Omnifuel has two heat regulators: one placed close to the bottle , and the second one closer to the burner. Omnifuel II offers pretty good heart control (one full turn of the burner regulator), but Omnifuel I is offers even more precise control - the burner regulator allows for 5 turns! They are not cheap and the I version is not easy to get. So I'm hoping to be able to find one second hand.
