Hillbilly 31cm Pan?1 answer
Would this be a suitable stove for the Hillbilly 31cm Pan?
Simon - Davenport (6 years ago)
G'day Simon,
The Mega-Jet Power Cooker is a very high output stove so is generally best suited to large stockpots (20-60L) for boiling shellfish or similar. We wouldn't recommend using the 31cm Hillbilly Pan with this stove as it will be so hot that you'll end up with very charred food.

Range of output2 answers
Does the regulator allow for adjustments to the output? For example what is the min and max g/hour of gas used?
Bill - Cairns(6 years ago)
G'day Bill,
I gave Companion a buzz about this one and they didn't have any figures for the low end as far as output and gas usage was concerned. They're going to do some testing today and get back to me. As soon as I know anything, I'll let you know.
Ben - Snowys(6 years ago)
G'day Bill,
So we've just spoken with Companion, and they don't have any data for us, but they did say that if you're using it with a big pot, you will be able to turn it down to a simmer.
But if you tried to use it with a frypan you wouldn't be able to simmer as it's too powerful for that. I hope that answered your question Bill.

Windshield for the Mega jet 1 answer
Is there a wind guard for this burner? if yes what do you use and where can I get one?
Sibylle - mile end(7 years ago)
G'day Sibylle,
There's not specifically a wind guard for the Companion Mega-Jet Outdoor Power Cooker no. The Hillbilly Wind Shield does fit around it nicely though.

is this suitable for round bottomed wok? 1 answer
I just want to see if it’ll support a round bottomed wok without it toppling
Naomi - Sutherland (7 years ago)
G'day Naomi,
The space between the supports on the Companion Mega-Jet Outdoor Power Cooker isn't very big, it would depend a bit on the size and shape of your wok as to whether or not it will fit nicely in the gap.
Ben - Snowys(7 years ago)
Will this be suitable for carbon steel wok? 1 answer
I would like to put this on the balcony of my apartment. Is it feasible? I am interested in the high BTU for wok cooking.
Naomi - Sutherland(7 years ago)
G'day Naomi,
I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to use the Companion Mega-Jet Outdoor Power Cooker on your balcony. As for the wok, I would say it would depend a little on the size of the flat base on the wok as to whether or not it will balance nicely on the framework of the cooker.

IS THE BURNER STAINLESS STEEL1 answer
the one i use now has a cast iron burner, doesnt last long with salt water, is the burner available made out of stainless
mick - ardrossan sa(7 years ago)
G'day Mick,
The burner is mated from a coated steel, but not stainless steel. If well looked after in terms of protecting the coating and cleaning after use, many have very little issue with salt water rusting.

Certification1 answer
I need this for a public event to sell fried food, will it be suitable and if it is on for maybe 6 hours is that okay and will it kill my gas?
Also for public events you need to use gas burners or fryers that are certified, is this legally certified or can you give me a sticker including the certification. (I need this legally for the event) As far as large frying pot where can i purchase those?
Mustafa - Lynbrook(8 years ago)
G’day Mustafa,
I’ve just double checked this for you, and this particular cooker is made for outdoor catering, so it should be suitable to use for 6 hours with no issue.
We don’t have any pots that we could recommend for deep frying, as the products in our cookware range don’t cater for that kind of cooking.
I would recommend taking a visit to your local commercial cookware supply store and getting their expertise as I don’t want to make a recommendation that isn’t safe.
I’ve just had a look at the box, and it says that the gas safety certification number for this product is: AS26582008 GSCS20108 SAI Global.
If you’d like an image of the certification number, just send me an email at emily@snowys.com.au and I’ll reply with a picture.Â

How much gas does it use on low?1 answer
I am looking for an alternative to a disposable gas canister cooker. I want something with the power to heat water for showers but also for general cooking with low heat such as eggs etc...
Will this cooker be suitable for that when used on low setting?
Or an I better going to a ring burner setup but by doing so compromise the high power cooking?
Thanks
Brad - Brisbane(9 years ago)
It's probably overkill for general cooking Brad. The 2160 g/h consumption is an average for the unit. I would recommend a ring burner for your purpose, a framed one will be most useful. You won't chew through as much gas, will still heat up water for showers and will be far more versatile to cook on.

JOHn - Corlette(9 years ago)
It's a 1200mm hose John with a regulator and POL gas fitting. I don't have a picture sorry, but the material is a black flexible material, most likely a nylon, polyurethane or PVC.

Can you please let me know what the diameter of the top ring is.1 answer

Will the use of this burner on a homebrew keggle affect it's performance, or heat distribution?1 answer
Inside measurement of my keggle is approximately 350mm, so it would sit over the outer ring of the stand. Weightwise, only really looking to support <50kg.
Dan - Hornsby(9 years ago)
Hi Dan, at 350mm, your keggle will sit just on top of the outer ring (360mm diameter). As long as there is air flow and heat is not being trapped, then the burner should operate efficiently. It generally refers to a 30L (30kg) pot being used on this burner, and while it will support 50kg, you are probably reaching the limits of stability given the size and weight of your keggle. That being said, you could use it underneath a separate stand for the keggle.
Ben - Snowys(9 years ago)
How much weight will this take? I'm looking at putting 100kg on it including stock pot1 answer
Andy - QLD(9 years ago)
The Mega-jet cooker has a steel frame and is very strong. It is designed for large pots with a maximum diameter of 220mm. Whilst Companion do not list a max weight, It can hold my weight quite easily (approx 100kg) though the legs did start to flex when I started to bounce on it. A product like the Quad Ring cast iron burner will be more stable for large heavy pots.

Can this connect directly to a gas point instead of cylinder?1 answer
Jen - FAIRFIELFairfield(10 years ago)
Hi Jen, if you are referring to a natural gas connection, then you will need to speak to a gas company or plumber to make changes and ensure the system is legal. Out of the box, the Mega Jet is designed to connect to an LPG cylinder, and comes with a hose and regulator for this.
Ben - Snowys(10 years ago)
Is it a high pressure regulator?1 answer
Greg - MUDGEERABA, QLD(10 years ago)
Hi Greg, yes it is a high pressure regulator (1750Kpa inlet pressure 150Kpa out) designed to be connected directly to a gas cylinder.
