Commercial stockpot burners are low-height, high-output gas cookers designed for large pots of soup, broth, noodle bases and bulk boiling. Sitting 500–600mm high, they reduce lifting risks and allow chefs to handle heavy stockpots safely.
Built for 40–120L+ pots, these units deliver intense heating for fast boiling and long simmering. Brands such as B+S, Cobra, Gasmax, Jasper and Thor offer single-ring and dual-ring models built for continuous daily use.

Buying Guide: Commercial Stockpot Burners
A commercial stockpot burner (boiling table) is engineered for large pots above 40L. The low height improves ergonomics while the high MJ output maintains a rolling boil for soups, broths and noodle bases in Australian commercial kitchens.
1. Safety & Ergonomics
Stockpot burners are purposely low to keep chefs safe when handling heavy pots.
- Low Height: 500–600mm height prevents lifting heavy 60–100L pots onto high benches.
- Heavy-Duty Support: Cast-iron trivets hold 90–140kg full pots without tipping.
- Safe Handling: Easier ladling and stirring at waist height.
- Floor-Level Use: Allows pots to tilt directly into trolleys or floor drains.
2. Burner Output & Flame Type
Stockpot burners deliver significantly more heat than standard cooktops.
- 70–120 MJ/h Output: Essential for fast boiling of large liquid volumes.
- Single-Ring: Strong direct heat ideal for rapid heating.
- Dual-Ring: Inner + outer flame for control during long simmering.
- Duckbill Burners: Wide flame pattern for large flat-bottom pots.
- Chimney Burners: Focused jet flame for aggressive centre heat.
3. Gas Engineering Requirements
High-output burners require correct gas installation and fittings.
- Gas Inlet: Most models use a 3/4" BSP connection.
- Installation Standard: Must comply with AS/NZS 5601.
- Correct Pressure: NG/LPG pressure ensures stable, safe flame.
- Levelling: Prevents pot sliding when boiling vigorously.
4. Ventilation & Compliance (AS 1668)
Stockpot burners generate large volumes of steam and heat. Under AS 1668, they must operate under a compliant extraction canopy.
- Canopy must extend 150mm past all sides.
- Install in well-ventilated areas to handle steam bursts.
- Use grease-rated filters for high-output gas flames.
5. Workflow, Drainage & Placement
Correct placement improves safety and efficiency.
- Position near floor drains or trench grates for easy emptying.
- Use non-slip tiles around the burner.
- Allow trolley access for moving or tilting large pots.
- Keep walls protected with stainless or high splashbacks.
6. Best Use Cases & Kitchen Types
- Ramen kitchens: Tonkotsu and long-simmer broths.
- Pho restaurants: Beef and chicken broth simmering.
- Central kitchens: Batch cooking soups and sauces.
- Catering & banquets: Bulk boiling and blanching.
- Asian restaurants: Continuous daily boiling.
7. ROI & Operational Efficiency
Stockpot burners improve speed and lower labour strain.
- Faster boiling: Cuts broth prep times significantly.
- Space saving: Replaces combi oven boiling tasks.
- Safety ROI: Reduced lifting lowers injury risk.
- ROI Example: Saving 1–2 labour hours/day in prep.
8. Leading Stockpot Burner Brands
- B+S: Ultra-heavy-duty build with high MJ output.
- Cobra: Reliable mid-range restaurant performance.
- Gasmax: Practical, value-focused for busy kitchens.
- Jasper: Strong flame technology for Asian kitchens.
- Thor: Budget-friendly and robust designs.
9. Summary
Commercial stockpot burners offer strong heat and low-height ergonomics for large-volume broths and boiling. They are essential for kitchens that require fast boiling, stable pot support and safer daily workflow.
