Would this be a suitable stove for the Hillbilly 31cm Pan?
G'day Simon,
The Mega-Jet Power Cooker is a very high output stove so is generally best suited to large stockpots (20-60L) for boiling shellfish or similar. We wouldn't recommend using the 31cm Hillbilly Pan with this stove as it will be so hot that you'll end up with very charred food.
Does the regulator allow for adjustments to the output? For example what is the min and max g/hour of gas used?
G'day Bill,
I gave Companion a buzz about this one and they didn't have any figures for the low end as far as output and gas usage was concerned. They're going to do some testing today and get back to me. As soon as I know anything, I'll let you know.
G'day Bill,
So we've just spoken with Companion, and they don't have any data for us, but they did say that if you're using it with a big pot, you will be able to turn it down to a simmer.
But if you tried to use it with a frypan you wouldn't be able to simmer as it's too powerful for that. I hope that answered your question
Is there a wind guard for this burner? if yes what do you use and where can I get one?
G'day Sibylle,
There's not specifically a wind guard for the Companion Mega-Jet Outdoor Power Cooker no. The Hillbilly Wind Shield does fit around it nicely though.
I just want to see if it’ll support a round bottomed wok without it toppling
G'day Naomi,
The space between the supports on the Companion Mega-Jet Outdoor Power Cooker isn't very big, it would depend a bit on the size and shape of your
I would like to put this on the balcony of my apartment. Is it feasible? I am interested in the high BTU for wok cooking.
G'day Naomi,
I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to use the Companion Mega-Jet Outdoor Power Cooker on your balcony. As for the wok, I would say it would depend a little on the size of the flat base on the wok as to whether or not it will balance nicely on the framework of the cooker.
the one i use now has a cast iron burner, doesnt last long with salt water, is the burner available made out of stainless
G'day Mick,
The burner is mated from a coated steel, but not stainless steel. If well looked after in terms of protecting the coating and cleaning after use, many have very little issue with salt water rusting.
whats the BTU output
G’day Zane,
The BTU output of the Companion Mega-Jet Outdoor Power Cooker is 104000 BTU.
**2020 update - these are now 85, 300BTU.
I need this for a public event to sell fried food, will it be suitable and if it is on for maybe 6 hours is that okay and will it kill my gas? Also for public events you need to use gas burners or fryers that are certified, is this legally certified or can you give me a sticker including the certification. (I need this legally for the event) As far as large frying pot where can i purchase those?
G’day Mustafa,
I’ve just double checked this for you, and this particular cooker is made for outdoor catering, so it should be suitable to use for 6 hours with no issue.
We don’t have any pots that we could recommend for deep frying, as the products in our cookware range don’t cater for that kind of cooking.
I would recommend taking a visit to your local commercial cookware supply store and getting their expertise as I don’t want to make a recommendation that isn’t safe.
I’ve just had a look at the box, and it says that the gas safety certification number for this product is: AS26582008 GSCS20108 SAI Global.
If you’d like an image of the certification number, just send me an email at emily@snowys.com.au and I’ll reply with a picture.Â
I am looking for an alternative to a disposable gas canister cooker. I want something with the power to heat water for showers but also for general cooking with low heat such as eggs etc... Will this cooker be suitable for that when used on low setting? Or an I better going to a ring burner setup but by doing so compromise the high power cooking? Thanks
How long is the hose with reg that comes with this? Is it braided stainless steel or plastic? Can you include a photo with the item
Inside measurement of my keggle is approximately 350mm, so it would sit over the outer ring of the stand. Weightwise, only really looking to support <50kg.
