Complex gas burner with wind protection large for cartridge cylinder 220 g (piezo ignition, 2.8 kW, screen Ø 26 cm, 700 g, case)

Complex large gas burner with wind protection Ø 26 cm for cartridge cylinder 220 g — senior version of the “lotus” burner for the group: stainless steel screen opens into a bowl Ø 26 cm and holds a pot for 4–6 l, a wide frying pan or kettle for 3 l, shielding the flame from wind on all sides. The petals fold inward into a cylinder Ø 17 × 12.5 cm that fits in a case and side pocket of a backpack. Piezo ignition, smooth adjustment, three wide folding legs, 220 g cylinder is attached to the side on a collet lock — center of gravity is low, a heavy pot won’t tip over. Power 2.8 kW: a liter of water boils in 4–5 minutes in calm conditions and 5–7 in the wind. Weight about 700 g. For a detachment, family at a dacha, field kitchen.

This is the largest burner in the line. For one to three people and a light backpack there is small Kovar ZT-203 with Ø 21 cm screen, for calm weather and minimal weight — Kovar ZT-202 without screen. Cylinder for all three — threaded RECTOR 220 g; for a stationary kitchen on a household cylinder — Happy Home stove in case. Cylinder not included.

For whom

• Units: one burner per unit — 5 liter cauldron for everyone, in the wind, without smoke
• Volunteers and field kitchens: wide stand support for large cookware
• Family at the dacha, on a hike, fishing: porridge, soup, tea for 4–8 people from one cylinder
• Home supply for power outages: frying pan and pot of regular size, not a small cup
• Tourist groups and camps: burner on duty for the whole group

Advantages

• Lotus screen Ø 26 cm — for a cauldron 4–6 l, frying pan up to 26 cm, kettle 3 l
• Three wide legs and low side cylinder — stable under heavy cookware
• Holds flame in the wind and collects heat under the bottom — boils faster, uses less gas
• Petals made of stainless steel fold inward — cylinder Ø 17 × 12.5 cm in a case
• Piezo ignition and smooth adjustment from warm-up to full power
• Collet lock for the most common 220g cartridge
• Includes a cord carrying case

Instructions for use

1. Place the burner on a flat non-flammable surface, unfold the legs and screen petals.
2. Make sure the regulator is closed all the way. Insert the 220g cartridge into the collet lock with the protrusion into the slot and secure with the lever.
3. Slightly open the regulator, press the piezo ignition button; repeat if necessary. Adjust the flame.
4. Place the cookware on three supports. A cauldron up to 6 liters — in the center; wide cookware should not completely cover the screen cup — the flame needs air.
5. After cooking, close the regulator, let the burner cool down, disconnect the cartridge, fold the petals and legs, put it in the case.

Gas consumption at full power is approximately 200 g/hour: a 220 g cartridge is enough for 1–1.2 hours at maximum or 2–3 hours on medium heat. For a 5-liter cauldron of porridge with boiling, approximately half a cartridge is used — for a detachment, take two to three cartridges per day.

Safety

Open flame consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide: use outdoors or in a ventilated room; in a bunker — only with air supply, in a tent — no. A wide screen reflects more heat than a small burner: do not cover the canister with a screen or objects and do not place dishes that completely cover the cup. If the canister becomes warm to the touch — reduce the flame or take a break: an overheated canister is dangerous. Place a heavy pot in the center of the supports, burner — on a hard level surface. Do not touch the screen and supports until completely cooled. Change the canister only on a cold burner, away from fire. Store canisters at no higher than +40 °C. Do not leave the burner unattended, do not allow children near it.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Large or small?
Large Ø 26 cm — for a group, 4–6 L cauldron, wide frying pan, stationary kitchen in a dugout or at a dacha. Small Ø 21 cm — for one to three people and in a backpack: it’s 160 g lighter and twice as compact. If you’re cooking for a unit — large, if for yourself — small.

Will a 6 L cauldron hold up?
Yes, three supports and wide legs are designed for this; place in the center, on a level hard surface. Cauldrons larger than 8 L — already for a stove on a household cylinder.

Which cylinder is suitable?
Threaded 220 g — the one with a protrusion on the side and inserted into the lock, like in household stoves. Threaded cylinders don’t fit without an adapter. We have an all-season RECTOR 220 g.

How many cylinders per day for a unit?
Two to three: a 5-liter cauldron with boiling takes approximately half a cylinder, tea for everyone — another third. On medium heat, the cylinder works for 2–3 hours.

Can it be used in a dugout?
Only with air intake and on a non-combustible base: the burner produces carbon monoxide and consumes oxygen. A large screen reflects heat — watch that the cylinder doesn’t heat up, and don’t place it near the stove.

The screen turned blue — is this a defect?
No, this is discoloration of stainless steel from heating; it does not affect performance.
