ArgosTitanium folding stove stand (Trangia Triangle clone)

$20 USD ArgosTitanium stove stand

~$30 USD Trangia Triangle
The ArgosTitanium folding stove stand is available for $20 USD delivered on Aliexpress.

  • Lightweight titanium stand for a Trangia-style alcohol burner or solid fuel tablets
  • Stowed: 14 x 10 x 1cm, ~86g


The ArgosTitanium stove stand is a close copy of the Trangia Triangle stand.

It's also similar to the Esbit Stove and ~$60 USD Titanium Clikstand

It assembles into a triangular shape from 3 interlocking titanium plates. It serves as a pot stand, a windshield and a elevated stove platform.


Pros
  • Fits a Trangia-style spirit burner
  • Probably fits the Toaks titanium siphon stove also
  • Tray also allows the use of solid fuel tablets
  • Top pot supports - fit a 550ml Toaks pot OK
  • Packs flat - saves space
  • Acts as a windscreen, with ventilation holes at bottom and top
  • Strong titanium material - makes tab inserts less likely to break 
  • Includes storage bag

Cons
  • Slight hassle to assemble - have to manipulate the plates slightly to get them to interlock
  • Clips are under stress when assembling - the strong titanium probably won't break though
  • May require an additional windscreen in windy conditions
  • Can't fully adjust the simmer ring on some alcohol burners
