Cinders StreetWok LP20 Portable Gas Wok Burner

The Cinders StreetWok LP20 is a portable propane-powered wok burner designed for outdoor catering, street food operations, and event catering where mains gas is not available. It runs on standard 19kg propane cylinders and uses a patented multi-head burner arrangement to deliver heat evenly across the base of the wok, rather than concentrating it at a single central point.

In a busy service environment, even heat distribution matters more than raw power figures. The StreetWok's flower-head burner array spreads the flame across the wok base, which reduces hot spots, improves heat penetration, and helps operators maintain consistent throughput without needing specialist wok technique. The burner also runs at comparatively low pressure, which keeps the flame noise noticeably quieter than conventional high-pressure jet burners — a practical advantage in public-facing catering environments where noise can be an issue.

From an operational standpoint, the unit offers several benefits worth considering:

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

Being propane-only, the unit requires G31 propane supplied via a 19kg cylinder with a left-hand female screw thread connection — standard Calor Gas red cylinders are a typical example. It is not compatible with butane or natural gas, and is intended strictly for outdoor use. It is not suited to enclosed kitchen environments without appropriate ventilation provisions, and operators should follow the relevant safety guidance for LPG use at public events.

The StreetWok LP20 is well suited to street food traders, outdoor event caterers, and hospitality operators running temporary or pop-up food service. For permanent high-volume operations or indoor use, a fixed commercial wok range would be a more appropriate choice. If you are running a larger outdoor event with several concurrent service points, it is worth considering whether a higher-output or multi-burner setup would better suit your throughput requirements.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your setup, or have questions about LPG safety compliance for your event type, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
