Natural Gas & LPG Gas Stove, Gas Cooktop & Gas Oven
Natural gas and LPG gas stove, gas cooktops & gas ovens make for a great cooking experience, just like professional chefs.
Best of all, you can have gas cooking no matter where you live.
Electric Stove vs Gas Stove
Gas stoves heat faster and cool off faster than electric stoves.
This makes electric stoves take longer to get hot and harder to control the temperature when a temperature change is required.
Electric stove vs gas stove: Gas cooking is just better.
There’s simply no substitute for gas cooking.
Leading chefs agree that the instantly controllable heat of a direct flame gas cooktop, that wraps around the pan, provides the ultimate cooking experience.
You get fast and even heat, with instant temperature control at your fingertips.
Cooking on a gas cooktop is also very affordable, with an average family spending less than 50 cents per day to cook like a master chef.
With an LPG gas stove, that experience is available to you, no matter where you live, even if you don’t currently have gas.

Cook with Gas No Matter Where You Live
Almost everyone wants to be able to cook like a professional chef, with a gas cooktop.
Now you can!
LPG is Everywhere
But how can you enjoy gas cooking if you live in an area without natural gas supply?
LPG gas is the answer.
An LPG gas stove is available virtually anywhere in Australia and adding it to your all-electric home is easier than you think.
Gas – The Better Way to Cook
Cooking with gas is so much better than using a traditional electric cooktop.
Gas provides heat more rapidly and evenly, as the flame wraps around the pan.
Temperature control is instantaneous, so you don’t have to move a pot off the burner to stop cooking.
Finally, imagine being able to cook a real stir fry in a proper wok, with a gas wok burner!
Easy to Install
Gas cooktops can be fitted into the same space as your old electric cooktop.
You just measure your current unit and select a gas cooktop that is the same size.
You can even install a larger unit, if you have additional countertop space.
How to Change Natural Gas Stove to Propane (LPG)
Most LPG (propane) appliances can be converted to natural gas and vice versa.
To be sure, consult your owner’s manual, look on the manufacturer’s website or contact them directly.
Typically, some kind of conversion kit is required, even if just to change the size of the gas jets.
Cook Like a Pro at an Affordable Price
Best of all, cooking with LPG gas is very affordable.
There are quality gas cooktops available for under $600.
This includes many with a premium stainless steel finish, wok burner and electronic ignition, so no wasted gas on pilot lights.
LPG gas is very affordable, too.
The LPG gas for cooking typically costs less than $0.50 per day.
How long will a gas bottle last using an LPG gas cooktop?
That depends on the gas consumption rating of the burners being used.
Burner gas consumption is expressed in mega joules or MJ of energy.
One litre of LPG has approximately 25MJ of energy content.
A 45kg gas bottle contains just a bit more than 88 litres or approximately 2200MJ of energy.
So, to determine how long the gas bottle will last, you just divide 2200 by the MJ rating of the heater:
Example 1: a small 5MJ/H cooktop burner will run for approximately 440 hours* on a 45kg gas bottle (2200÷5=440)
Example 2: a large 12MJ/H cooktop burner will run for approximately 183 hours* on a 45kg gas bottle (2200÷12=183)
*Please note that the calculations shown assume that you use the burner on its maximum setting.
Gas consumption would be less, and the gas bottle would last longer, on lower settings, such as during simmering.
A 45kg gas bottle could last for a year or more when used just for cooking.
