G'day All:

I would like to ask if any members have used a 2 or 3 Ring Gas Burner direct from a caravan bayonet.

My hope is to run a Gasmate 2 Ring Burner from the bayonet on a Jayco Journey.

This ring burner would be connected using a 3 metre bayonet hose.

Please let my know you thoughts.

Thanks and regards,

Jack 

(There is one 2017 post on this subject which is a little inconclusive.)

 Hi 

I bought one from Bunnings and had constant blocking of the gas lines being cast iron

i got a replacement but still does the same thing.

Saying that the two burner ring does create a greater heat for example boiling large pots of water for crabs and prawns and it will burn or create lots of heat and black soot on the surface and your cooking gear.

It also uses a lot of gas and hard to regulate the flame as any wind will blow out or interfere with the flame.

I gave up on it and went back to the butane burner and the butane integrated frypan from the big green shed which is the best cooker I have ever had very much worth the hundred bucks price tag.

From memory plugging into the gas bayonet you will need an adapter as they have a different thread to other gas appliances.

Ringburners are an old school technology and not suited to general use in cooking but great if you need high heat but not trying to deter you from using one as it could work for you I still use it now and then

 Cheers

Cheers

I will be using a twin burner type of cooker.

I have not used a BBQ for 5 years or so, and i don't see that changing, and will not be using one.

My cooker will be on a seperat gas bottle though, i will not be connecting anything to the bayonet that does not have a flame out protection fitted.

Thanks for your in-depth feedback Travelyounger. I think you have put the last nail in the coffin of my ill conceived project/idea.
I am really just trying to setup some outdoor cooking off the caravan bayonet to handle a large fry pan and enough heat for a normal size wok.
We are in-between vans at the moment, so I've got the benefit of having time on my side.
Much appreciated,
Jack

 If you are serious about Wok cooking you need a Rambo Wok Burner (approx. $230 delivered ...EBay)  They are not big and cumbersome so no problem for caravanning.    They  come with a Regulator set for a higher gas pressure and deliver enough heat to "SEAR" rather than "STEW" (critical for Wok cooking..) .   Self igniter included.  Capable (quickly and when needed )  of putting out approx. 7 times the heat of a normal gas stove ring.

Needs to be connected to its own gas bottle. 

Ideal for pan frying , boiling water  and also for heating big pots used for crabs etc...... 

I have a Rambo and it has been the answer to cooking true Wok style ( seared not stewed ) 

KB

PS....I thought that this might be of interest seeing as you mentioned  that you use a Wok.

 It might get those large amounts of water boiling for the big muddies Ill check it out

One of the most stupid poorly thought through rules I have seen for a long time. So I can't hook my Weber up to my bayonet which is on a direct line from my gas bottle regulator, but if I pull the same bottle off the drawbar and sit it alongside the hot barbecue I am ok. Pure beaurecratic bs.

---

 Stupidity at its best.

My van when new, came with those shutoff valves fitted to each gas bottle to shut off supply of gas if a leak occurs.

One of them lasted about two months using the stove in the van and the Weber Q on the bayonet and the other one lasted about 6 months.

Those valves might be good in theory but Chinese crap just doesnt cut it at all.

I run both Weber and Crab Cooker from the bayonet.

 Me too. If the manufacturer put it on the van, then use it.

I bought a Companion duel wok burner from Snowys to cook outside with a wok but we haven't yet used it. I have a bayonet fitting to connect to the caravan.

Thanks for advice John,

I would love a Rambo Wok stove, but as you know, we have to limit how much we cart around.

And, I really want to get away from lugging gas cylinders around. Fifty years of that is enough!

I may settle for something like this:

Wok Burner Cooker - LP Gas - Auscrown

Cheers,

Jack

Just realize that a bayonet outlet is limited by the regulator above the vans bottles.

So... do not use a webber in line with the webber regulator attached. Take it off....Or It will most likely be a bit starved for gas supply. Webber's are not to be used with in a van so external is fine....

Most Inline cast burners are designed to run direct off a bottle....not regulated. A small one may be Ok, but those larger three ringed affairs will be starved for supply as well.

Most rules for shut offs etc apply to internal use in the van. Not appliances used externally....

 Interesting.

My cast iron two burner gas ring has never worked & just sits in the workshop ... has been there for 15 years or so.

Perhaps I will try it direct off a bottle.

Just a little further off topic, I have a gas ring that screws direct onto a small gas bottle.   The Telstra Lineys used to use them to brew up.    Its a beauty, but a bit scary.

For a BBQ in the van I reckon you can't go past the two burner Butane cookers.  Maybe not as trendy as the Webers but no where near as heavy or bulky either.

I hate all of those new fanged safety devices we have to use, so I too removed them. I've even removed the air bags and seat belts from my car as well. 'I can look after my own safety' was something I heard many times by people

 I hope that you are joking? If so, an emoji would help.
