FAQs

How do I properly extinguish the burner with the screw cap?

First, carefully remove the rubber washer from the burner cap. Then, screw the cap onto the burner to extinguish the flame. Never extinguish the flame with the washer in place, as the heat will melt it.

Can I use these washers with other types of fuel?

These washers are designed for use with methylated spirits (spirit fuel) typically used in Trangia burners. Compatibility with other fuels is not guaranteed.

How often should I replace the washers?

Replace the washers when they show signs of wear, such as cracking, stretching, or melting. With proper care, they can last a long time, but having a spare is always recommended.

What happens if I forget to remove the washer before extinguishing?

The heat from the burner will melt the rubber washer, rendering it useless and potentially creating a mess. It's crucial to make this a habit when using the screw cap for extinguishing.

Are these washers compatible with Trangia storm cookers?

Yes, these washers are designed for the standard Trangia burner cap, which is used with the Trangia storm cooker systems.

Where should I store the spare washer?

It's best to keep the spare washer with your burner cap or in a small, dedicated pouch within your cooking kit to prevent it from getting lost.

Troubleshooting

Burner cap leaks fuel

Ensure the washer is properly seated on the burner cap rim and that the cap is screwed on tightly. Check the washer for damage and replace if necessary.

Washer melted or deformed

The washer was likely exposed to direct heat. Remove the washer before using the screw cap to extinguish the flame. Replace the melted washer with a new one.

Washer doesn't fit snugly

Ensure you are using the correct Trangia burner cap. Gently press the washer onto the rim to help it seat properly. If the washer is old or damaged, it may need replacement.
