Natural Gas Portable Stove

Hello Ozbargain community,

Been searching for a while for a portable stove that uses natural gas (which I assume it's methane). We get our gas from the gas network (Jemena?)

We would like to cook outside on the verandah. There is already a gas socket outside which works ( I can push in the spring loaded seal and gas escapes)

Now looking online I can see several portable stove's, but they are all butane or propane/LPG. I don't believe you can run a stove of gases it was not designed for as the nozzles are different.

It only need to be one burner and it's pretty much for frying chips or fish. We just don't want the smell in the house as the kitchen, dining room and lounge room are quite open.

Does such an item exist, or do we need to do some kinda conversion. There must be a reason why we have a gas socket outside.

Thanks

Here you are https://www.auscrown.com.au/products/category/home-work-burn…

Btw most BBQs can be converted very easily, you just need new burners.

The gas socket is for a BBQ.
Some models use natural gas, the 'toen gas' delivered by pipes (the gas in bottles is propane - insert king of the hill meme here).
Many BBQs come with a wok burner.
I know you can get propane stand alone wok burners, so it seems like there might be natural gas options too.

  Just make sure your BBQ is fine for Natural Gas. I know Weber have a different model for Natural Gas vs LPG.

  LPG contains propane, but propane is not LPG.
  
  LPG is a mixture of gasses (propane, butane). Propane is just propane.
  
  Here's a very poorly written blog post

Any of the Weber Q series. You can buy them in NG.

The socket on the deck would be for a BBQ.

I’d suggest a Webber Q but there are heaps of cheaper options if you don’t want a Webber.

Thank you for all the comments. I was googing for some time and didn't find much, but the links provided appear perfect.

The wok cooker is what we need, don't need a BBQ as we already have a kettle BBQ which we prefer over gas…..we got rid out our gas bbq a very long time ago.

Our socket is a 1/2" Gas Bayonet Female, so I assume its just plug and play.
