What are the disadvantages of using gel fuel? 1. The size of the flame cannot be controlled

We mainly use Royal mail 48 for items under 1kg and DPD for items over this weight. We may change this at any time dependant on service availability and destination.

Using Kerosene for Trangia Fuel You will need to use a particular fuel container when using gel fuel in a Trangia gel burner.

Although gel fireplaces are not heat efficient, they can still produce heat. On average, a can of gel fuel produces around 3,000 British thermal units (Btus).A can of gel fuel will generally run out after around 2.5 hours of burning. This is a rather short period of time, particularly if you are busy running errands or entertaining guests. One of the biggest issues surrounding gel fuel is that the flames it produces cannot be adjusted. Once the can is lit, you must leave it to burn or smother it. To produce a bigger flame, you must add more cans to the fireplace. 2. Gel fuel does not produce huge amounts of heat When using Kerosene as fuel in your Trangia stove, you can expect a burn time of around 30 minutes per stove. This will give you enough time to cook a meal or heat up some water. Using Petrol for Trangia Fuel You must use a canister adapter when using propane with your Trangia stove. This adapter will allow you to connect the propane canister to the Trangia stove. You can use the stove the same way as you would with an alcohol burner. Keep your gel fuel away from heat and sunlight: Gel fuel can degrade or even catch fire if it is left in the sun for too long. Make sure to store it somewhere cool and dry.
