'''Trangia''' is a trademark for a line of alcohol-burning [[portable stove]]s manufactured by [[Sweden|Swedish]] company '''Trangia AB'''. These stoves are designed primarily for backpackers, with a focus on light weight, durability and simple design. First sold in [[1925]], Trangia stoves were initially preferred to kerosene (paraffin) pressure stoves because they required only one type of fuel (alcohol, usually in the form of methylated spirit). Trangia's most unique selling point is that the entire packaged stove, including pots, is not significantly larger than a standard camp cooking pot. For this reason the Trangia has retained much of its popularity despite the development of alternative stove fuels and designs.

The key component of a Trangia stove is the burner. This is a small brass cup that looks and functions similar to a [[beverage-can stove]]. Fuel is poured into the burner and ignited. The heat from the flame causes the fuel to vaporize, forcing it out of 23 or 24 jets around the top of the burner, and producing a steady cooking flame. The burner includes a removable "simmer ring", which partially blocks the flame in order to reduce heat output. It also includes a sealed lid, so that extra fuel can be stored in the burner.
