The Vargo Titanium Triad XE is a dual-fuel (alcohol/Meths / fuel tab) stove. The XE was designed for weight-conscious backpackers and supremely light and strong. You can run it on alcohol and when fuel is short simply use a solid fuel substitute, Hexamine, Trioxane or similar.
Burning De-Natured alcohol (Methylated Spirits) 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 fuel. In general, the XE can be used effectively in any condition, making it a stove that we believe sets a higher standard in ultralight hiking.
This is a great stove used on its own but can be placed in the Hexagon wood burner to shield it from wind and the elements
