Griddles, Burners and Specialist

The Cinders StreetWok LP20 is a portable propane-powered wok burner built for outdoor catering environments where a mains gas supply is not available. It runs from a standard 19kg propane cylinder and uses a patented multi-head burner arrangement that distributes heat across the wok base rather than concentrating it at a single central point — a difference that has a direct bearing on how the unit performs in practice.

In a busy service setting, consistent heat distribution tends to matter more than headline output figures. The flower-head burner array reduces hot spots and supports more even cooking across the wok base, which helps operators maintain steady throughput without relying on highly specialist wok technique. The unit also runs at comparatively low pressure, keeping flame noise noticeably quieter than conventional high-pressure jet burners — a practical consideration in public-facing environments where ambient noise affects both the working environment and customer experience.

From an operational standpoint, the StreetWok LP20 offers several characteristics worth noting:

• Fully portable and self-contained — no mains gas connection required
• Quieter running than high-pressure alternatives, suited to public event settings
• Even heat distribution supports consistent output without specialist training
• Lightweight enough to be set up and repositioned by a single operator
• UK-manufactured and CE safety compliant

The unit is propane-only and requires G31 propane via a 19kg cylinder with a left-hand female screw thread connection — standard Calor Gas red cylinders are a common example. It is not compatible with butane or natural gas and is designed strictly for outdoor use. It is not appropriate for enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation, and operators should familiarise themselves with the relevant LPG safety guidance for their event type.

The StreetWok LP20 is well suited to street food traders, pop-up operators, and outdoor event caterers who need a reliable, portable cooking solution without a fixed gas supply. For permanent indoor installations or consistently high-volume service, a fixed commercial wok range would be the more appropriate choice. If you are running multiple concurrent service points at a large event, it is worth considering whether a higher-output arrangement would better match your throughput needs.

If you would like to talk through LPG compliance for your event type or check whether this unit is the right fit for your setup, we are happy to help before you commit.

The Buffalo Outdoor Gas Griddle is a flat-plate gas plancha designed specifically for outdoor commercial use. Running on gas and built from steel, it provides a large, even cooking surface well suited to burgers, vegetables, fish, and similar high-throughput fare commonly served at catering events, market stalls, food festivals, and outdoor hospitality settings.

In a busy outdoor service environment, a flat griddle plate offers consistent, direct contact heat across the cooking surface, which supports steady output when volume picks up during peak service periods. The steel plate retains heat reasonably well, allowing operators to work across the surface without frequent cold spots slowing throughput. At 15kg it is manageable enough to transport and position without heavy lifting equipment, which suits operators who are regularly setting up and breaking down at different locations.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Large cooking area suited to simultaneous multi-item service
• Flat plate construction simplifies cleaning between covers
• Gas operation removes dependency on mains electricity at site
• Compact footprint relative to cooking surface area
• Straightforward set-up with no complex installation requirements

As this unit is designed for outdoor use, it should not be operated in enclosed or insufficiently ventilated spaces. Operators will need a compatible gas supply and appropriate regulator for their cylinder type — this is worth confirming before the first event. The unit is not intended for permanent indoor installation. For very high-volume outdoor catering where output demands are more sustained, a heavier-duty double-burner or larger surface model may be worth considering.

This griddle is a practical choice for mobile caterers, event operators, and outdoor hospitality venues that need reliable gas cooking without fixed infrastructure. It is equally well suited to smaller catering businesses looking for an affordable entry point into outdoor flat-plate cooking.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your service volume or have questions about gas compatibility for your setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you order.

The Buffalo 6 Burner LPG Barbecue Griddle is a propane-powered combi unit combining open barbecue grill cooking with a large flat steel plate griddle. Running entirely on LPG, it operates independently of mains gas infrastructure, making it well suited to outdoor events, festival catering, temporary kitchen setups, and mobile food operations where a fixed gas supply is not available.

With six burners and a total output of 24kW spread across a generous cooking surface, the unit is built to handle sustained high-volume service. The griddle plate handles foods that need even contact heat — bacon, eggs, onions, flatbreads, burgers — while the barbecue section allows charred, open-flame cooking alongside. Running both simultaneously gives an operator the flexibility to serve a varied menu without needing separate equipment.

In practical terms, the key operational advantages include:

• LPG operation removes dependence on fixed gas supply lines or electrical hook-up
• Dual cooking zones allow griddle and barbecue output to run concurrently
• Large steel griddle plate maintains consistent surface temperature across high-throughput service
• Six-burner layout gives zone control, allowing sections to be turned down during quieter periods
• Steel construction is robust enough for repeated outdoor deployment and straightforward to clean down after service

At 94.5kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment and will require at least two people to position and move safely. The unit's footprint is considerable, so access routes and surface stability need to be considered before deployment, particularly on uneven ground at outdoor events. LPG cylinder connection, regulator compatibility, and gas safety checks should always be carried out by a competent Gas Safe registered engineer prior to first use.

This unit is best suited to caterers running high-volume outdoor events, street food operations, festival traders, or hospitality venues with seasonal outdoor service areas. For smaller-scale operations or where a more compact footprint is needed, a lower-burner-count model may be more appropriate. Conversely, very high-volume event caterers running multiple service lines may want to consider whether a single unit meets peak demand or whether two smaller units would give more operational flexibility.

If you're unsure whether this unit fits your service volumes or event setup, our team is happy to talk through the options before you commit.

The Hog King HM001 is a large-format propane gas hog roast machine designed for outdoor and event catering where mains services are unavailable or impractical. Built from stainless steel throughout, it runs entirely on bottled propane, making it genuinely self-contained and suitable for use in fields, marquees, car parks, and similar settings without the need for electrical connection.

In practical use, the machine is capable of accommodating a whole pig alongside additional boned and rolled joints in the same cooking session, making it well suited to larger events where throughput and presentation matter. The adjustable tray height via bracket positions is a useful operational detail — it allows the operator to carve and serve directly from the machine at a comfortable working height, which speeds up service and reduces the need for additional serving equipment on site.

Key operational points worth noting:

• Propane-powered — no mains electricity or gas supply required on site
• Four castors fitted, with two lockable, for stable positioning on uneven ground
• Adjustable tray height supports carving and service directly from the machine
• Temperature control allows the operator to manage cooking pace through a session
• Stainless steel construction supports hygiene and withstands repeated outdoor use

At 100kg the machine is substantial, and moving it between events will require a suitable vehicle and at least two people for loading and unloading. The castors are practical once the unit is on flat ground, but the overall footprint is generous, so storage space between events is worth considering before purchase. A separate spit roast kit is not included and would need to be sourced additionally if required.

This machine is primarily suited to event caterers, hog roast specialists, and hospitality operators who regularly cook for large outdoor gatherings. For operators running smaller events or requiring a more compact unit, lower-capacity alternatives are available. Equally, very high-volume commercial operators running multiple events simultaneously may benefit from reviewing heavier-duty options.

If you're unsure whether this machine suits your typical event size or want to talk through how it would work in your operation, we're happy to have that conversation before you commit to a purchase.

The Buffalo 6 Burner Combi BBQ Grill and Griddle is a large-format gas cooking unit that combines a ribbed grill plate and a flat griddle plate within a single freestanding frame. The two separate cooking surfaces allow operators to run different cooking tasks simultaneously — grilling meats and toasting buns or cooking eggs alongside, for example — without the need for separate appliances. Built from stainless steel and steel throughout, it is designed for the kind of consistent, repeated use that outdoor events, festival catering, and high-volume barbecue service demand.

With six burners across a generous cooking width, there is enough surface area to maintain throughput during busy service periods. The separate grill and griddle zones mean heat management stays straightforward: operators can dial each section to suit what is being cooked rather than compromising across a single surface. The stainless steel construction holds up well under regular outdoor use and is practical to wipe down between service runs.

In operational terms, the key advantages of this unit are:

• Simultaneous grill and griddle cooking from a single appliance
• Six-burner layout supports high-volume service without bottlenecks
• Separate cooking zones allow different temperature management per surface
• Stainless steel and steel build suits repeated outdoor and event use
• Freestanding format suits temporary setups and event catering rigs

This unit is gas-powered and intended for outdoor or well-ventilated use — it is not suitable for indoor installation without appropriate extraction and ventilation provision. At 55kg and over two metres wide, positioning and transport between events requires planning. It is not a light or compact unit, and that should be factored into logistics for mobile catering operations.

This combi unit is well suited to event caterers, street food operators, festival traders, and outdoor hospitality venues that need a reliable, high-output cooking station. It is less appropriate for compact kitchen environments or operators who need a smaller footprint. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands, a heavier-duty or more commercial-grade solution may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your setup — particularly around gas supply, ventilation, or service volume — the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

The Garcima Paella Gas Burner 400 is a freestanding, dual-ring gas burner designed for outdoor commercial cooking. Built from steel and mounted on a fixed stand, it connects directly to a propane gas bottle and delivers two independent rings of high heat — making it a practical choice for street food traders, event caterers, and hospitality operators who need reliable outdoor cooking power without fixed infrastructure.

In service, the twin-ring configuration gives operators genuine flexibility. Each ring is independently controlled, so you can run a large paella pan over both rings simultaneously or use just one ring for smaller pans — useful when cooking volumes vary across a trading day. The burner handles the sustained, high heat that paella, breakfasts, and similar high-volume outdoor cooking demand, and it sets up and strips down quickly enough to suit mobile operations where time between pitches matters.

Key operational advantages include:

• Independent ring controls allow different pan sizes and heat levels simultaneously
• Propane-compatible as standard, with butane possible via a separate regulator
• Freestanding stand — no bench, table, or fixed surface required
• Simple assembly and disassembly suited to mobile catering setups
• Compact footprint relative to cooking capacity for trailer or van storage

The burner runs on propane as standard. Butane use is possible but requires a separate regulator, which is not included. The gas hose is also sold separately — worth confirming the correct connections before your first event. This is an outdoor unit and is not suited to enclosed or semi-enclosed indoor environments without appropriate ventilation assessment.

This burner is well suited to street food traders, pop-up caterers, and event hospitality teams who need a portable, no-fuss outdoor cooking solution for paella, large-batch fry-ups, or similar high-heat dishes. For very high-volume sites running multiple large pans across a full trading day, a heavier-duty burner setup may be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this burner suits your service format or gas supply setup, we're happy to talk it through before you order.
