G'day Claire,

The Companion Framed Triple Ring Burners are made in China.

G'day Jan,

The Framed Triple Ring Burner does have gas flow control taps, so there is some degree of control and you can usually turn them down low enough to rapidly simmer something, but to simmer as you would on a burner at home might not quite be achievable. If you're using a 12-cup Moka Pot then it should just be large enough to fit, however, the general rule when using that style coffee pot is to not allow the flame to extend beyond the base size of the pot, so based on that, we think this stove is going to bit a bit too big and pack a bit too much heat.

Not a worry Jan, and yes you can adjust the flow tap while the stove is in use, the heat stays fairly centralised.

G'day Eric,

The Companion Framed Triple Ring Burner frame is made from Cast Iron and will heat up. We recommend against using any Gas Stove appliance on a plastic surface because of the potential for heat damage.

G'day Eric,

The Companion Framed Triple Ring Burner uses a POL gas fitting which is the standard fitting for 9kg gas bottles (the large ones). You can get adapters to fit the smaller 3/8 fitting gas bottles here.
