LPG Gas Burners & Outdoor Cooking Buying Guide

Single vs Double vs Triple Burners

Single burners are compact and portable — ideal for camping, small outdoor cooking setups and catering for smaller groups. Double burners allow two pots simultaneously, suited to catering events and larger outdoor kitchens. Triple burners are designed for commercial and high-volume cooking environments.

Heat Output (KW)

Higher KW ratings mean faster boiling times and greater heat output. A 4–5KW burner suits general outdoor cooking. 8–12KW burners are designed for catering and commercial use where speed and sustained heat are essential. Our range goes up to 20.8KW for heavy-duty professional use.

Cast Iron vs Standard Burners

Cast iron burners retain heat more efficiently and are more durable under heavy use. They are the preferred choice for catering and professional outdoor cooking. Standard burners are lighter and more portable, better suited to camping and occasional use.

Regulators and Hoses

All LPG gas burners require a regulator and hose to connect to a gas cylinder. A propane regulator is suitable for outdoor use in cold weather as propane performs better at low temperatures. Butane regulators are better for indoor and mild outdoor use. Regulator, hose and clip kits are available separately in our outdoor range.
