G'day Marcus,

Its a no to both of the above, sorry!
This burner requires a connection to a refillable style LPG gas canister only.
It's not compatible with other types of propane or fuel mixes, or other types of gas cannisters.

G'day Iva,

The stove attaches directly to an LPG cylinder with 3/8" BSP thread, which is what you'll find on bottles 1, 2, 3 & 4kg in size. There are no further attachments required to use the stove.

G'day Kathryn,

We are very fortunate in Australia to have rigorous testing and appliance standards through the Australian Gas Association.  If an item is available for sale in Australia you can be confident that it has met these safety requirements.
The Companion Single Burner Manual Stove is a popular compact option and as far as we are aware customers have had no issues from a safety perspective.
Hop that helps!

G'day Adam,

Your 9kg gas bottle more than likely has a POL fitting so you would need a POL to 3/8" adapter to be able to attach the stove to your gas bottle.

G'day Sue,

Yes the Companion Single Burner Manual Stove will attach directly to the top of a Gasmat 2kg cylinder with a 3/8" BSP thread. The fitting itself gives the unit its stability, and they are quite stable as long as your pot is around the size of the burner.

G'day Mike,

I'd probably be cautious when transporting a stove like this and I'd detach it from the gas bottle. The box it comes packed in, whilst it won't last forever, is a great way to transport these with just a bit of protection. I'd just keep it in the car if possible as it's just a chrome plated and not stainless steel. Travelling with it on the roof rack might encourage rust to develop if it's constantly out in the weather. 

G'day Dave,

This is a bit of a tough one, to be honest with you. Reading the warnings on gas bottles about keeping away from heat does make me a little worried about using a grill plate on one of these Primus Single Burner Manual Stoves. Having said that, I can't see it as being much different to a pot or pan being over the flame. Leaning on the side of caution, I wouldn't recommend that you use a grill plate but as is often the case with these sorts of things, I'd suggest using your own discretion. 

G'day Alison, 

I've just cracked out my tape measure and had a look at both stoves on display, and I'd say that a pot with a 10cm diameter would just fit on the Companion Single Burner, but it wouldn't be a good fit for the Primus Single Burner Stove. 

G'day Anna,

I've just had a look at the product, and I've found that the Primus Single Burner Manual Stove does not have a knob/control - you will only be able to control the flame on the gas bottle itself.
