When not in use, trangia fuel should be stored in a cool, dry place. This will help to keep the fuel fresh and prevent it from going bad.Many Trangia stove users choose to use propane as their primary fuel source. This is because propane is a clean-burning fuel that doesn’t produce any harmful emissions. It is also easy to find in stores and relatively affordable. Firstly, it produces stronger flames compared to gel fuel, creating a bright orange glow that may feel much warmer and more comforting than the latter’s smaller yellow flames.
