Trangia Stove.

Or get a petrol stove. No gas canisters to carry and keep it topped up by siphoning fuel out of the bike (or car for folks of that persuasion) whenever it gets low so never run out at awkward moments so no fuel bottles to pack either.

One can only assume it is designed to screw into a gas cylinder that has its own regulator-sort-of-thing. Such a thing would shurely raise the base above ground level and make things a lot more complicated, not to say dangerous. After that, i'm out of ideas.

There no hole in it - it's just a threaded extension - I think that the body part may also be used in a stove that has its own legs screwed on to it, perhaps - no answer from Trangia yet..

Did you ever find out what the threaded bit was for?!

Never got an answer from them - I still suspect that the component is also used in a different stove that requires it to be attached to something - like legs or a stand of some sort.

I reckon it's for a stand as well. Possibly them future proofing the basic burner for a later version that is free standing. Either that or it's an externally sourced component that is used on something else

Today, for the princely sum of 50p from the Hospice Shop at Norton Bridge, I bought a baking tin of this style -

- with a plain aluminium exterior and a non-stick coated interior, on the basis that it looked about the same size as the Trangia frying pan that I already have.

Imagine my delight when, not only does it fit snugly inside the original Trangia frying pan, but it also still fits over the windshield, allowing the whole stove, + the new pan, to pack to only a couple of millimetres higher than it did without it.

Love it when something comes together like that. I remember the joy of finding a cheap non stick saucepan in Wilkos that my Coleman stove just slid into leaving room for a length of plastic tubing for syphoning petrol wrapped around the top.
