Trangia Large 25-2 UL Storm Cooker (spirit)

Anyone who regularly goes camping with a group or spends extended periods of time outdoors will need more than just a small burner and a single pan. The Trangia Large 25-2 UL Storm Cooker (Spirit) is a complete storm cooking system for 3 to 4 people, comprising two saucepans, a frying pan, a 0.9-litre kettle, a spirit burner and the distinctive two-part Trangia windscreen.

Despite its extensive range of components, virtually the entire set can be stacked together. As a result, the packed size is limited to approximately Ø 22 × 10.5 cm. With a total weight of around 1025 grams, you get a complete outdoor kitchen which, thanks to the UL aluminium, remains relatively light and can be used practically even in less favourable weather conditions.

Why choose the Trangia Large 25-2 UL Storm Cooker?

The Trangia 25 series has been designed for situations where you want to be able to cook for several people. Whilst a compact single-burner stove is mainly suitable for heating water or preparing a simple meal, this 25-2 set offers considerably more possibilities.

You’ll receive a 1.5-litre saucepan, a 1.75-litre saucepan, a 22 cm frying pan and a 0.9-litre kettle. With these, you can prepare different parts of a meal and also easily boil water for coffee or tea.

The well-known Trangia storm system not only ensures that your cookware sits securely above the burner, but also helps to protect the flame from the wind.

Serves 3 to 4 people

Trangia’s Large 25 series is designed for groups of around 3 to 4 people. This is particularly evident in its size and the quantity of cookware included.

With 1.5- and 1.75-litre saucepans, you’ll have enough capacity for larger portions than with the compact Trangia sets. The 22-cm-diameter frying pan also allows you to fry ingredients.

You don’t have to keep clearing one of the saucepans to make hot water. That’s because the set also includes a separate 0.9-litre kettle.

This makes the 25-2 an attractive option for families, small groups or outdoor enthusiasts who simply want a bit more cooking capacity.

Two-part windbreak for outdoor cooking

One of the key features of the classic Trangia system is the two-part windscreen. The set consists of a lower and an upper windscreen, into which the burner and cookware are placed.

This design helps to shield the flame from the wind whilst also providing a stable base for the pan.

This makes the system particularly well-suited to outdoor use, where you can’t always find a fully sheltered place to cook. It is precisely in windy conditions that the concept of a storm cooker really comes into its own.

Ultralight Aluminium for reduced weight

For this model, Trangia uses Ultralight Aluminium (UL). According to Trangia, this material is 50 per cent stronger than standard aluminium, which means that components can be made thinner without requiring the same amount of material.

The result is a lighter weight, whilst at the same time you benefit from the excellent thermal conductivity for which aluminium is renowned.

The saucepans, frying pan and both parts of the windscreen are made from UL aluminium.

The boiler supplied is an exception to this rule. It is made of standard aluminium.

Two saucepans for more options

The Trangia Large 25-2 UL comes with two different cooking pans. The smaller pan has a capacity of 1.5 litres, whilst the larger one can hold 1.75 litres.

Using two pans gives you much more flexibility when you’re out and about. For example, you can cook pasta or rice in one pan and use the other for vegetables, sauce or another part of your meal.

For a group of three to four people, that’s a lot more practical than having to cook everything one after the other in the same small pan.

22 cm UL aluminium frying pan

As well as the two saucepans, you’ll receive a frying pan with a diameter of 22 cm. This is also made from Trangia UL aluminium.

This means you can use the Storm Cooker not only to boil food and water, but also to fry ingredients.

The frying pan is also part of the Trangia set’s compact packing system. The components are designed so that they can be stacked inside and around one another as much as possible during transport.

Includes a 0.9-litre kettle

The Trangia 25-2 UL differs from models without a kettle in that it comes with a compact 0.9-litre aluminium kettle as standard.

This makes it easy to heat water for coffee, tea, soup or other hot drinks and meals without having to use one of the larger saucepans.

A separate kettle is a handy addition, especially when you’re camping with a group. Whilst the pans are being used for cooking, you can use the kettle separately to boil water.

Trangia spiritusbrander

The well-known Trangia Spirit Burner is supplied as a heat source. This burner uses methylated spirits as fuel and provides a simple and compact heat source for the storm system.

The technical product specifications state that the burner has a power rating of 1150 watts.

Furthermore, an alcohol burner does not require a complex pump mechanism or a gas connection. As a result, the system remains relatively simple in design.

It is important, however, to use only suitable fuel and to allow the burner to cool down completely before refilling it or putting it away.

Compact, stackable design

If you’re taking a complete cooking set comprising two pans, a frying pan, a kettle and a burner, you’d expect it to take up quite a lot of space. Trangia’s clever design largely prevents this.

The various components can be stacked inside one another during transport. As a result, the complete system has a packaging size of approximately Ø 220 × 105 mm.

A 68 cm strap, supplied with the set, keeps the packed set together during transport.

This means you’ll have a complete cookset for several people whilst travelling, without all the bits and pieces being scattered about in your luggage.

Total weight of approximately 1,025 grams

The complete Trangia Large 25-2 UL weighs approximately 1025 grams.

That includes the full set of cookware, the kettle, the two-part windscreen, the spirit burner, the pan handle and the lashing strap.

For ultralight solo hiking, a smaller cookset will naturally be lighter. However, the strength of this Trangia lies precisely in the balance between weight, pack size and the amount of cookware you carry for three to four people.

Made in Sweden

The Trangia Large 25-2 UL Storm Cooker is manufactured in Sweden.

Trangia has strong links to Scandinavian outdoor activities, and the design of the Storm Cooker has, for many years, been based on a relatively simple principle: combining a compact burner with a wind-protected and stable cooking unit.

For users who prefer to take a simple system with them rather than a cooker with all sorts of complex parts, this remains a significant advantage.

Practical tip

Only assemble the parts after use once the burner, pans and wind screens have cooled down completely and been cleaned. Never refill a spirit burner whilst it is still hot or whilst there may still be a flame. Always place the Storm Cooker on a stable, flat, non-flammable surface whilst in use, and only use suitable fuel in accordance with Trangia’s instructions.

Advice from Airsoft-Legends

We’d particularly recommend the Trangia Large 25-2 UL Storm Cooker if you’re looking for a complete outdoor cookset for several people, but still want to be able to pack everything as compactly as possible. With two saucepans, a frying pan and a kettle, you’ll have considerably more options on the go than with a minimalist single-person set.

We particularly like the nestable design here. After cooking, the various parts largely nest inside one another again, leaving you with a package measuring approximately Ø 22 × 10.5 cm. For a complete cookware set for three to four people, that’s extremely practical.

The two-part windscreen is also exactly what the classic Trangia concept is known for. It allows you to create a stable cooking setup in which the spirit burner is better protected from the elements.

If you’re simply looking for the lightest possible option for heating a single cup of water whilst on the move, then we’d recommend looking at a smaller Trangia. If, on the other hand, you want to be able to actually cook for three to four people, the Large 25-2 UL, with its two pans – a 22 cm frying pan and a 0.9-litre kettle – offers a much more complete outdoor kitchen – without you having to carry half a kitchen cupboard with you.
