Thread: Off-grid LPG gas cooker

Could you not just get an oven/stove without grill(if possible), and get a separate griller?

I remember back in the day, I used to service a (fish)shop that didn't have gas, and used LPG(massive bottles).
Their grill(called a salamander too) ran on LPG.

do a search for LPG salamander(assuming you mean a salamander type grill and not a BBQ type grill/griddle).

I can imagine they'd all be commercial grade tho, and really they're the only type I know of.
Think of those mobile food van setups using LPG everything.

Could be an option for 'ya second hand/recoed or something.

Check out your local auction houses. Restaurants and fast food shops go broke monotonously regularly. There are at least two auctions weekly in Brisbane alone featuring catering equipment. Some have had little use.

I guess a question the OP may have not thought to also ask ... can a mains gas appliance be converted easily to LPG running?
Is it just a matter of hooking it up, and it'll run fine .. what's the difference(etc, etc)

Jet size, usually easy to change in commercial kit.

Normally the manufacturer will have the jets for conversion and any other it’s required

Ah , OK jets.
I know very little about jets. The little I do know is that I pulled one out of my gas stove top hob(the wok burner) and drilled it 0.5mm larger to get some heat out of it. Before, it piddled out some heat .. after it right blasts the wok with a nice amount of heat.



So from a legal standpoint, getting a normal gas grill/salamander/toaster/whatever, enlarge the jet to run on LPG .. bobs you're uncle?

LOG would normally need smaller jets than the natural gas jets

Should than use a manometer to check pressure from LPG regular
