dont forget as you change the jet size you need to change the (and I forget the industry term) but lets go with aperture (the holes the gas flow venturis air in through ) and the spacing of the nozzle. as well as the pressure regulation of the gas.
(small stuff it doesnt really matter but if its a big unit with the changable nozzles , aperture slides and threaded seat guide its got the adjustments for a reason)
A commercial salamander will be overkill and chew thru the gas, a caravan style oven/grill might do the trick although maybe a bit small.
A friend bought a gas stove recently and it came with lpg jets included in a box in the oven.
I would think this is normal.

unfortunately I do not get a say in the cooker department as I do not do the cooking.
I like the idea of the webber if I can get SWMBO into BBQing that would be great.
We have had a Westinghouse gas oven it has is all gas 4 burner cooktop, grill and oven.
Runs on 45Kg bottled gas.
Have owned it for 10 years no problems.

To offer another newer than 10 year option
We set up an old cottage on the property to live in while doing main house Reno last year.
Me, wifey and 1 yo lived in the little cottage for 6 months
We needed an oven but the cottage has minimal power to it so we
Ended up getting a Belling gas oven/stove top.
It runs happily off a 9kg swap-n-go
It does have an electric grill BUT it runs from a standard GPO
I haven’t looked to check but from memory it was like 8A.

We had an LPG stove/grill/oven on Norfolk Island (electric stoves were verboten) but for the life of me I can't remember the brand.
My wife liked it so much that, when we had our kitchen redone here in Oz, we had a Westinghouse gas cooktop installed.
Living off grid, I have a wood fired stove that heats the hot water and the house and cooks in winter. This is replaced in summer by caravan type LPG stove that has a gas grill. (The sun heats the water in summer)
(It is a Roden Rambler, but that is probably not relevant seeing that I bought it S/H 25 years ago)
I suggest that you might want to look at stoves designed for caravans - some of them are fairly big these days.
I also use an electric frypan for cooking, which seems to have little impact on the batteries. (neither do the toaster, electric kettle or microwave)
How many of what size batteries do you have, John?
