LPG/butane gas hob

[Monkeyboy2310]

Hi all. Can any of you peeps recommend a good 2 burner gas hob for my camper.i have seen hobs for static caravans that are cheap but the ignition runs off 240 volt. If I don’t connect any of the electric would it still work ok ? Cheers.

Just use a kitchen gas lighter to light it.

Ha. That’s what I was thinking.

Always handy to have.

Buy a domestic one, probably half the price and they come with LPG jets since most rural locations use propane tanks.
Google domino hobs.

Old caravan stainless steel unit,with or without sink.

Agreed the domestic domino hobs take up little space and are certainly less expensive than smev/dometic. However, I thought the burners were too close together for large pans and ended up putting two single dometic burners side by side. Be aware though, they are quite deep to install.

Am I right in thinking that 'leisure' gas burners are screwed together so they don't shake apart during travel?

The burner caps are often screwed down but the pan supports are removable for cleaning, or to stop them rattling when on the move.

My SMEV burners are screwed together but as said the pan supports just sit in grommets at 4 points with the other 4 points free.

My point is that a house style hob will more than likely need reassembly after every trip and will be a source of rattle when travelling.

We lay a towel over the top of the cooker and that stops the rattles, from the cooker, not Anita

Grill pans and their grids need this treatment big time!
At least the hob grid has clips bit still needs cardboard wedges to keep it quiet!

All the pots, pan and other rattly stuff has a sheet of paper towel between. No we don't wrap each knife, fork and spoon!
