The Trangia gas burner is sold in Australia, though the Trangia X2 multifuel burner is not.

All that means is that the importer has chosen not to pay the dollars required to have the unit tested and certified.

It is a robust and incredibly reliable stove but at almost a kilo in weight I have moved on. My pot with cosy, stove and wind shield weighs far less than the Trangia gas burner alone.

When I brought mine the gas burner had removed from sale because it did not meet the standard. They had been sold for a period of time then had to be withdrawn from sale. This could of changed but I have not seen them for sale since then.

I would trust the Swedish/EU standards that the burner must meet to be sold in Europe to be at least the equivalent of the AU standards although I expect there is nothing wrong with the AU standards. Chinese made products - I would be more circumspect.

Mark F wrote:rurik, what I do know is that the Trangia gas burner complies with the following standards prEN 521 (EU and Nordic) and CAN-11.2-M79 (Canada/US). http://trangia.se/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/742527-gas-burner.pdf You seem to be relying on the word of a shop assistant; a source that many of us have found over the years to often provide "alternative truth" in many situations.
My "alternative truth" is that the agent, or possibly a retailer through a grey import channel, brought some in and didn't get the Australian compliance approval. They got caught out an had to withdraw them. The cost of getting compliance approval is very high and requires regular renewal with yet more cost and any change in the product requires complete retesting, fee paying etc. The importer has to balance the cost of this against the number of units likely to be sold and make a commercial decision. They obviously chose not to proceed.

I'm thinking about my proposed winter trip to Canada and Alaska.
The schools are all about minimsing the risk of being sued but waiting an extra 20 minutes for dinner simply means better appetites

Hi mate, hopefully I can help a little bit here:
Unprotected gas stoves will always suffer significant impact from wind. Once you add one of many windshields available, they can definitely improve, however still suffer the same old instability issues etc, and I have found many of these windshields to be quite fiddly and sometimes difficult to stabilize in the alpine winds.
LuxLuthor05 wrote:What I love about the Trangia, is that most of the time more wind seems to actually IMPROVE performance, as it has holes in its base that are designed to be pointed towards the wind, and direct the wind in moderation towards the burner, I suppose to 'fan' the flame. I think that improving performance using something that normally inhibits performance, is simply fantastic.
RonK wrote:Err no - remote stoves do not suffer from instability problems.
Oh really? I'd advise you to take care or your Trangia may end up looking like this.
Yes, Trangias meltdowns are not at all uncommon.
LuxLuthor05 wrote:As far as the "oh really" goes: I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, but it sounds as if you are implying that pointing the holes to the wind is bad....... this would put you in disagreement with Trangia.
