2 Ring Gas Burner, Heavy Duty Cast Iron LPG Stove
This 2 ring gas burner is a heavy-duty LPG stove with a black cast iron body, a raised cooking frame with metal pot supports and brass-coloured gas control valves for adjusting the flame. It is made for powerful cooking, boiling, frying and simmering in suitable, well-ventilated catering kitchens and approved outdoor cooking areas.
Cast iron is heavy and stable, which is what you want under a large pot of rice or a big karahi of hot oil. The brass-coloured valves stand out against the black body and are easy to find and adjust while you cook.

Outdoor and catering cooking
A heavy cast iron burner is a favourite for outdoor cooking at family events, Eid gatherings, community kitchens and catering, where large pots of rice, curry, daal or chai are cooked in one go. Set it on firm, level ground or a heat-resistant surface, well away from tents, gazebos, fences and anything that can burn.
Outdoors, shelter the flame from strong wind so it stays steady, but never cook inside a tent or an enclosed space.
Why cast iron
Cast iron is heavy, strong and holds its shape under high heat, so the burner stays steady under a full pot. It is a traditional material for heavy-duty burners for that reason. The number of independently controlled gas circuits should be checked with the supplier before use.
Gas safety first
A 2 ring gas burner runs on LPG and must be connected and used safely. The listing does not confirm that a hose, regulator or gas cylinder is included, so check what you need before first use: the correct gas type, operating pressure, regulator and a compatible hose. Installation must follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the gas safety regulations that apply to you; for commercial kitchens, have connections made and checked by a suitably qualified engineer.
Only use the burner in areas approved for it, with good ventilation, on a stable, level, non-combustible surface, and never leave a lit burner unattended. The Health and Safety Executive publishes guidance on the safe use of LPG.
Checking for leaks
Before lighting, check every connection. Brush a little soapy water over the joints with the gas turned on at the cylinder: bubbles mean a leak. If you smell gas, turn off the supply at the cylinder, do not use any flame or electrical switch, ventilate the area and get the equipment checked before using it again. Replace hoses that are cracked, hard or past their date.
Lighting and flame control
With pans ready and the area clear, open the cylinder valve, light the burner following the manufacturer’s instructions, and adjust the flame with the control valves. A steady blue flame is a sign of good combustion; a lazy yellow flame can mean a fault, so turn the 2 ring gas burner off and have it checked. Turn the burner valves off first and then the cylinder when you finish.
Use large, heavy pans that sit securely on the pot supports, keep handles turned away from walkways, and keep children and anything flammable well away.
Choosing pans
Use pans that are wide, flat-bottomed and heavy enough to sit securely on the pot supports, and keep the flame under the base rather than licking up the sides. Large stock pots, deep karahis, degchis and woks are the natural partners for a 2 ring gas burner. Never leave an empty pan over a high flame, and never leave hot oil unattended.
Lift heavy, full pots with two people or use a ladle to empty them first, and keep a clear path to wherever the pot is going.
Cooking for a crowd
High-output burners are made for volume: a big pot of rice for fifty, a karahi of chicken for a wedding, gallons of chai for a community event or a large pan of daal for a langar or iftar. Plan the cooking order so the biggest, longest jobs start first, and keep lids on pots that are coming to the boil to save gas and time. With the right pans and a safe set-up, a 2 ring gas burner makes large-scale cooking far quicker than a domestic hob.
Cleaning and storage
Let the burner cool completely and turn off the gas before cleaning. Wipe the body with a damp cloth and a little mild detergent, brush food and grease off the pot supports, and keep the burner ports clear so the flame stays even. Store the 2 ring gas burner dry, with the cylinder disconnected and stored as its supplier advises.
Pots and pans
Use wide, flat-bottomed pots and karahis that sit securely across the pot supports. A 2 ring gas burner produces a lot of heat, so large, heavy pans are the safest and most efficient choice, and they spread the heat well for even cooking.
