I want this, particulary the mess with the handle. My local stores have no idea how. Could anybody here please help me find a way?? Thanks in advance<br>http://www.trangia.se/english/inledande/inledframe.html Trangia.

Buy them here <br>MSR<br>among other places

Thanks, but I can't find the rectangular mess tins anywhere!

Well this is not from trangia but it seems similar<br><br>Fatigues

yet another though this one is not in US so currency translation will be necessary<br><br>The Compleat OutDoors<br><br>and<br><br>Field & Trek<br><br>or you could just write (snailmail) to trangia. I am sure that they know who sells them if they are unwilling to sell directly.

Hello Andy,<br><br>Please check your email. Thanks.<br><br>Barry - Blueline Outfitters, Inc.

Andy, I hope you'll hold off a few days before you but a two piece rectangular British type set. I found and won one, Dutch and unissued on Ebay the other day. It was shipped Wednesday Feb 20, so should be here any day now. I'll try it out, and post a review. <br><br>Also there are two interesting types at http://www.sass-kit.fsbusiness.co.uk/catalogue16/Food_Water/. To figure cost, multiply by 1.43 to get $. I can't find these anywhere else. They sent me a catalog, and shipping to US is minimum $22.00 for the first kilo. OUCH! For reference about the PLCE pouch size, it means it will fit into a standard 3 magazine m-16 ammo pouch.<br><br>I hope this helps.<br><br>Peanut

Thanks. I've seen those but I too have been put off by the shipping. I'll be anticipating your report. Andy.

Thanks Mebrad, you have been truely helpful. I have been contacted directly by someone who has both the Trangia tins and the BCB empty tobacco tins. I will post it here as soon as I talk to him directly. I know others are looking for the tobacco tins as well.

Does anyone know if the Trangia stove will work properly with the standard GI canteen cup stove (designed for Trioxane or Hexamine tabs)?<br><br>I gather the Trangia has certain ventilation requirements, and possibly issues relating to height of cooking surface above the stove. Anybody tried this?<br><br> Thanks -- Karl

I have the trangia big mess tin with the lid - but it has no handles. I use it for a larger PSK I keep in my car. I've seen the smaller one in the store, the one with the handle, and it seems like a good sized container for a medium sized PSK. Both do not come with any stove, but you could pack lots of goodies and items in them.<br>Thankfully, Trangia sets are easily available outside the USA.<br>If you're really stuck and need a set I could help ship one over to you. I'll have to check the shipping cost though. The large mess tin costs about S$15 = US$8.33 and the small one costs about S$11 = US$6.11.

Andy, I just got the tins yesterday. I'm on duty from tonight until Monday, so I'll have the specifics for you Tuesday.<br><br>Peanut

Andy, <br><br>Sorry it's taken me a few days, but duty called. Here goes.<br><br>The larger tin is 7 1/8 in. long, minus the handle and attachment, by 5 5/16 in. wide by 2 1/4 in. deep. The handle folds over the top and protrudes 6 3/8 in. extended. The weight of the tin at the end of the handle keeps it in place, but is a bit ungainly, like any pot, when full. Capacity is approximately 1.4 liters, and it weighs about 7 1/2 oz.<br><br>The smaller tin is 6 7/16 in. long, again without handle. It's 4 7/8 in. wide and 2 3/16 in. deep. The hamdle and attaghment are identical to the larger tin. Approximate capacity is .95 liter and it weighs about 6 3/4 oz.<br><br>When nested, with handles folded over, the kit is 7 1/2 in. long by 5 5/16 in. wide by 2 11/16 in. deep, and weighs about 14 1/4 oz.<br><br>It seems pretty well made and durable.<br><br>I got it off Ebay from a user named QuartermasterUK for a total cost, including shipping, of about $6.30. I think he may have another if you're interested. It took about 8 days to get here from the UK.<br><br>I hope this helps.<br><br>Peanut<br><br>P.S. Does anyone else's wife shake their head and roll their eyes when you start measuing and weighing, or doing anything else with your "toys", muttering something about "there he goes again"?

Muchos Gracias!<br>Collecting PSK tins has become a hobby of mine! Somehow this makes me strange in my wife's eye but collecting Pyrex bakeware (her obsession) is perfectly normal....
