Double Burner Wok Cooker

G'day Barua,

The Companion Double Burner Wok Cooker will be fine to use on a stone bench top, but they are explicitly certified for outdoor use on an LPG via a POL fitting. The manufacturer doesn't indicate that they are suitable to use on natural gas. Page 4 of the User Manual has a few safety diagrams for using the unit in partially enclosed spaces.

G'day Tony,

Yep, it sounds like you've got it all worked out mate. These can be run with no regulator on a low-pressure gas system found on caravans so I don't see why it couldn't be run from your home gas system like this. Obviously, if you're at all unsure when setting it up consult a qualified gas specialist or plumber. 

G'day Claudia,

I can't find anywhere that Companion mention this unit can't be used commercially, and certainly, I would think a lot of our customers are using these in outdoor commercial cooking situations. Having said that I've given Companion a call and they're saying it's really only sold as a camping stove. Given that we don't sell commercial cooking equipment I'm not really sure if there is a standard certification for this type of thing, you may be best off consulting a gas appliance specialist before making any decisions. 

G'day Jo,

We can recommend the Outdoor Connection Fortis Slat Table or the Oztrail Easy Table 4 Folding table. They're both pretty sturdy and heat-resistant.

G'day Tracy,

I've just given this a quick whirl with some pots we've got on the shop floor. I'd say that you'd pretty comfortably be able to fit a pair of pots with diameters of about 40cm on the Companion Double Burner Cooker. 

G'day Matthew,

All of the gas products we sell meet Australian standards including the Companion Double Burner Cooker from Companion. We don't know what the finer details of the testing procedures are, but on the product itself it says that it is SAI Global Certified, and the number for that is 400316.

For more information on this certification scheme, you can head to their website here. I hope this helps Matthew. 

G'day Glen,

A good majority of the heat on a Companion Double Burner Cooker travels upwards. The only issues you might have will be if you have a large pot that directs the heat back down again. As for the right angle adaptor, it's not something that is readily available but if you take it to a gas specialist, you would probably be able to get one made up for you. 

G'day Michael,

Unfortunately, we don't really have a BBQ plate that will perfectly match up with the Companion Double Burner Cooker. The 3 burner plates were almost big enough but didn't quite go all the way to the end of both burners, so you'd lose a fair bit of heat out of the side. 

G'day Sam,

You will need a hose with a 3/8 SAE end on it to connect a Companion Double Burner Cooker to your caravan bayonet fitting.

G'day Sam,

There's not specifically a carry bag that is made for the Companion Double Burner Cooker, unfortunately. The closest I can find in size is the Large Oztrail Canvas Duffle Bag.

G'day Coin, 

This burner will work, but not with the supplied hose. You will need to buy a separate hose that has a bayonet fitting at one, this will then attach to your caravan.

G'day Ronak, 

I've checked with the supplier, and there isn't a different sized trivet compatible with the Double Burner Cooker available. We've looked into this, but we can't come up with a safe way to modify or add to this cooker, unfortunately. 

Hi Brian,

This particular stove doesn't have any flame protection so on a windy balcony there may be better options that have windshields either as physical outer barriers or built in around the flame.  An example of these are the Zempire 2 burner Deluxe stove and the Hyperflame Fyreknight.

Feel free to give us a call if you have further queries. 

G’day Mum,

This unit connects directly to gas bottles with a POL fitting, so the one you’ve linked isn’t going to fit directly unless you use an adaptor.

If you want to correct directly, you’ll need a gas bottle with a POL fitting – just ask your local hardware store which is the right one and they’ll point you in the right direction.

This unit is designed only to be used outdoors, so we would not recommend using it inside as it would not be safe, and it comes with the hose included. 

I’m no mathematician, but I’ve done a bit of a search and this blog was helpful regarding gas use. It says there that LPG kg to MJ and vice versa (1kg = 49MJ) or (1MJ = 0.02kg). 

This cooker uses 16.5 Mj/Hr so going from what it says on there, it seems that this cooker uses approximately 825g per hour. 

Hi Deanna, 

The Companion Double Burner Cooker is not compatible with disposable butane canisters, as it uses a different kind of gas (LPG). 

We don't have any other models online that are compatible with disposable butane gas canisters, but the Coleman Hyperflame FyreKnight and FyreCadet are compatible with disposable LPG bottles - which isn't the exactly the same, but it's something you might want to take a look at.
