Vargo Triad XE Titanium Stove |
Vargo Triad XE Titanium Stove is a Dual Fuel (acohol and fuel tab) stove that is perfect for 4 season use. One of the lightest, most versatile stoves available. Features: * Titanium Construction - Only 1.5 oz. * Burn either ESBIT tabs or alcohol. * Burn Time ~ 25 Minutes * Retractable top and bottom legs * Removeable Inner alcohol burner
The XE was designed for weight-conscious backpackers that recognize the advantages and disadvantages of burning denatured alcohol. Specifically, denatured alcohol does not burn as well in high altitude (generally over 11,000 feet) or very cold temperatures (below 20 degrees F). In these situations burning ESBIT fuel tabs is recommended.
Characteristics of burning alcohol in the XE include intense heat during the priming stage and moderate heat once primed. Once primed the stove is very fuel efficient, using very little alcohol. The XE can be used effectively in any condition, making it a stove that we believe sets a higher standard in ultralight hiking.
NOTE: It is important to use a windscreen! Click on the Additional Images link for instructions on making one. The windscreen will maintain the intensity and efficiency of the flame.
FEATURES:
* Removable inner alchohol burner /container
* Compact design

INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Fully extend the top and bottom legs and press stove legs into ground to create a stable surface (do not light on a rock or picnic table, etc).
2) Remove lid from inner container and carefully pour denatured alcohol inside container to desired level.
3) Lightly press on lid to create a seal (do not over press or lid will become difficult to remove).
4) Prime stove by squirting 5~6 drops of alcohol between the outer and inner container then light.
NOTE -If burning ESBIT fuel tabs - simply remove inner container and place fuel tab in center of outer base. Let Esbit tabs burn uncovered (as pictured)
WARNING!!!!
* Attempting to burn fuels other than denatured alcohol or fuel tabs could result in explosion and possible injury.
* Add alcohol only after the stove has cooled thoroughly to prevent injury. Please use caution with alchohol it burns clean and the flames can be hard to see. Wipe any reside from your hands or clothing before lighting and keep children, tents, clothing, packs, and sleeping bags away from your burner
