Trangia Small Storm Cooker 37-5 UL Black Edition (methylated spirits)

Are you heading out on your own or as a pair, and are you looking for a compact cookset that will actually allow you to prepare a proper meal whilst on the move? The Trangia Small Storm Cooker 37-5 UL Black Edition (Spirit) combines two 1-litre saucepans, an 18 cm frying pan and the well-known Trangia spirit burner in one compact storm system for 1 to 2 people.

This Black Edition also stands out thanks to the non-stick finish on the pans, frying pan and heat shields. This means food is less likely to stick to the cooking surface and the pans are easier to clean after use. After cooking, the various components can be stacked inside one another, meaning that, despite its extensive contents, the complete set measures only approximately Ø 18.5 × 10 cm.

Why choose the Trangia Small Storm Cooker 37-5 UL Black Edition?

The Trangia 37-5 is particularly appealing if you’re looking for a complete yet compact outdoor cookset for one or two people. Instead of just a burner and a single small pan, you get two saucepans, a frying pan, a windscreen and all the necessary components to set up a stable cooking station whilst on the move.

The two saucepans each have a capacity of 1 litre and the frying pan supplied has a diameter of 18 cm. This gives you plenty of options for preparing a simple but complete meal.

The whole set weighs approximately 880 grams and can be stacked compactly for transport. This makes the set practical for hiking, trekking, camping and other outdoor activities where luggage space is limited.

Designed for 1 to 2 people

The Trangia Small Storm Cooker Series 37 is designed for approximately one to two people. This means the set sits nicely between a minimalist, ultralight cooking solution and the larger Trangia systems for groups.

The two 1-litre pans offer enough capacity to cook, for example, water, pasta, rice, soup or other simple outdoor meals. What’s more, as you have two separate pans, you don’t have to cook everything one after the other in the same pan.

For solo use, this gives you extra flexibility, whilst the size remains compact enough to avoid having to carry around an unnecessary amount of cookware.

Two 1-litre non-stick saucepans

The Trangia 37-5 comes with two non-stick pans, each with a capacity of 1 litre.

One of these pans has measurement markings. This is particularly handy when you’re out and about, for example if you need a specific amount of water for a meal and don’t want to take a separate measuring jug with you.

The second pan has the same capacity, but does not have any measurement markings.

With two separate pans, you can cook different ingredients, or use one pan for the main course whilst the other remains available for water, sauce or a side dish.

18 cm Non-Stick koekenpan

As well as the two saucepans, you’ll receive a non-stick frying pan with a diameter of 18 cm.

This allows you to fry ingredients rather than just boiling them. That gives the set considerably more options if you want to eat a more substantial meal whilst on the go.

The non-stick coating is particularly useful when you want to cook with very little fat. As food is less likely to stick to the surface, the pan is also easier to clean after use.

For a compact outdoor cookset for one or two people, a separate frying pan is a practical addition.

Non-stick coating for easier cooking

A key difference compared with standard aluminium models is the non-stick coating. Trangia uses a PTFE-type non-stick coating for this, which, according to the product information provided, is PFOA-free.

The smooth surface makes it possible to cook with less fat and prevents food from sticking to the base.

This also has its advantages after a meal. Caked-on food residue is certainly no fun to deal with, and a non-stick surface makes cleaning your cookware a lot easier.

The coating does require a little more care than untreated aluminium. You should therefore preferably use wooden or plastic cookware and avoid metal objects that could damage the non-stick coating.

Protect the non-stick coating during transport

A non-stick surface is practical when cooking, but more prone to damage than untreated aluminium.

Trangia therefore recommends protecting the pans and frying pan from rubbing against each other during transport. If hard or sharp objects rub directly against the coating, this may cause damage over time.

When cooking, too, it is advisable to use only wooden or plastic cookware.

With a little care during use and transport, you can significantly extend the life of the non-stick coating.

Two-part windscreen for outdoor use

Like other Trangia Storm Cookers, the 37-5 uses a two-part windscreen. This consists of an upper and lower section in which the burner and cookware are placed.

The system helps to protect the flame from the wind whilst also providing a stable base for the pan.

This is particularly important when you’re cooking outdoors and can’t always decide for yourself how much shelter there is at your cooking spot.

The windscreens on this model also feature the distinctive dark Non-Stick finish, which contributes to the Black Edition’s look.

Trangia Spirit Burner

The heat is provided by the well-known Trangia Spirit Burner. This compact burner uses methylated spirits as fuel and fits directly inside the storm system.

The technical product specifications state a power rating of 1150 watts.

The concept is relatively simple and does not require a gas cartridge or a complex pump mechanism. You’ll need the burner, suitable methylated spirits and the Trangia storm system to set up your cooking area.

Always allow the spirit burner to cool down completely after use before refilling it or putting it back in the set.

Compact, stackable design

A major advantage of a Trangia cooking set is that the various components do not all have to take up space in your rucksack individually.

The pans, burner and other parts can be stacked inside one another for transport. This means the complete cookset forms a single compact package.

The stated pack size is approximately Ø 185 × 100 mm. That’s quite compact when you consider that you’re carrying two saucepans, a frying pan, a burner and a complete windscreen system.

The 61 cm strap supplied keeps the stacked set together during transport.

Total weight of approximately 880 grams

De complete Trangia Small Storm Cooker 37-5 Black Edition weegt ongeveer 880 gram.

For this, you’ll receive a complete cooking and storm kit for one to two people, including two pans, a frying pan, a spirit burner, windbreaks, a pan handle and a lashing strap.

For someone who only needs to heat up water for a single freeze-dried meal, there are lighter options available. But if you actually want to be able to cook whilst on the move, this set gives you considerably more options.

Made in Sweden

The Trangia Small Storm Cooker 37-5 UL Black Edition is made in Sweden.

The design is based on the well-known Trangia principle, whereby the burner, windscreen and cookware form a single compact system.

This means you don’t need a collection of loose parts to set up your cooking area, and virtually everything can be packed away compactly after use.

Practical tip

With this Black Edition, take particular care to protect the non-stick surfaces during transport. If necessary, place a soft cloth or suitable protective material between parts that might rub against each other, and use only wooden or plastic kitchen utensils whilst cooking. In addition, always allow the spirit burner to cool completely before refilling it or stacking the set away again.

Advice from Airsoft-Legends

We find the Trangia Small Storm Cooker 37-5 UL Black Edition particularly appealing for one or two people who want more than just a minimalist burner for boiling water. Thanks to the two 1-litre pans and the 18 cm frying pan, you can actually prepare a full meal whilst on the go.

The non-stick version offers a clear practical advantage in this respect. Particularly when frying and preparing dishes that can quickly stick to an aluminium pan, the non-stick coating makes both cooking and cleaning easier. On the other hand, you do need to handle the pans with a little more care. With this version, it is best to avoid using metal kitchen utensils and parts that might rub against each other without protection.

The compact packaging size is also a key selling point. The complete set for one to two people measures approximately Ø 18.5 × 10 cm and weighs around 880 grams.

If you’re looking for the absolute lightest way to heat water whilst on the move, a smaller ultralight set makes more sense. If, on the other hand, you want to travel compactly whilst retaining the option to cook with two pans and a frying pan, then this Trangia 37-5 Black Edition is a particularly comprehensive solution.
