Cooking without electricity starts with a practical plan. Choose a gas stove and compatible accessories for familiar meals during a power cut. Equipment you can practise with on ordinary cooking days, too.
Start with your cooking location, then match the burner, cookware and gas supply. This collection covers cooking equipment, rather than a complete household emergency kit.
First, choose where you can cook
Original, Basic, PRO and Double are for outdoor use only. Use a suitable open-air location and follow the manual. Never use an outdoor burner indoors, in a tent or in a fully or partially enclosed space. Never use a cooking burner as a room heater.
Considering Silver Line for indoor cooking? Check the exact appliance version, manual, ventilation, clearances and local gas requirements first. Its flame failure device does not replace these conditions.
If you have no suitable cooking location, plan meals that need no heating. Read the user manuals.
Gas stoves for backup cooking
Silver Line 4.5 kW: Compact, with battery-powered ignition. Check indoor-use conditions before choosing.
Basic 10 kW: Outdoor cooking with a flat burner ring included. Hose, regulator, cookware and round-bottom wok ring are sold separately.
Original 7 kW and PRO 12 kW: Outdoor models supplied with a 30 cm carbon steel wok, hose and regulator.
Double 2 × 10 kW: Two independently adjustable outdoor burners; cookware is sold separately.
Choose for your meals, cooking space and cookware. Higher power alone does not make a better preparedness setup. Compare HOT WOK gas stoves.
Match your pots, pans and supports
Use the flat burner ring made for your model: Silver Line, Original or PRO. These rings are sold separately. Basic already includes a flat burner ring; Double has reversible supports.
Check the manual for suitable cookware sizes, bases and support positions. The paella pan below is 30 cm. Never assume that a support or pan fits every burner.
Choose the right gas regulator
These regulators are different options, not interchangeable alternatives. Match outlet pressure, gas type, cylinder connection and flow capacity to your exact appliance version and local requirements. A country label alone does not confirm compatibility.
Basic 10 kW is listed for 30 mbar operation and comes without a hose or regulator. Do not fit a 37 or 50 mbar regulator to a 30 mbar appliance unless the manufacturer explicitly specifies that configuration for the exact version.
For camping cartridges, confirm connection and flow capacity. For French connections, check whether the separate French regulator adapter is needed. Ask HOT WOK to confirm your combination if unsure.

A practical home preparedness checklist
- Plan familiar meals: Keep drinking water and shelf-stable food, including meals that need no heating.
- Confirm the complete setup: Check the appliance, compatible support, cookware, hose, regulator and cylinder. Gas cylinders are not included.
- Practise first: Read the manual and try your setup before you need it during a power cut.
- Plan fuel sensibly: Use the appliance's consumption information and your expected cooking time. Storage rules and recommendations vary by country.
A gas stove can be one part of home preparedness alongside water, food, lighting and other essentials. Follow current official guidance where you live. For example, Denmark's preparedness guidance recommends that households can manage for three days.
Emergency cooking: frequently asked questions
Can I cook without electricity with a HOT WOK?
Can I cook without electricity with a HOT WOK?
The burners use gas for cooking heat rather than mains electricity. Silver Line has battery-powered ignition. You still need a compatible gas supply, suitable cookware and an appropriate location.
Can I use an outdoor gas burner inside during a power cut?
Can I use an outdoor gas burner inside during a power cut?
No. A power cut does not change the intended use of an appliance. Original, Basic, PRO and Double must remain outdoors. For Silver Line, check its manual and applicable local requirements before considering indoor use.
Does this collection provide a complete home emergency kit?
Does this collection provide a complete home emergency kit?
No. It focuses on cooking equipment. Food, drinking water, fuel and other household essentials must be planned separately.
Are gas bottles included?
Are gas bottles included?
No. Check the individual product page for the supplied hose, regulator and accessories, then confirm compatibility with your cylinder.
Can I use my existing saucepan?
Can I use my existing saucepan?
Only if its size and base are compatible with the burner and the correct support. Check the manual; a model-specific flat burner ring may be required and is sold separately.
How much gas should I plan for?
How much gas should I plan for?
Gas use depends on the burner, flame setting, meals and cooking time. Use the appliance's fuel-consumption information and your planned cooking time to estimate your needs. There is no single cylinder size or runtime that suits every household. Follow local gas-storage rules.
Build a backup cooking setup you know how to use
Start with the right cooking location and add compatible equipment at your own pace. For help matching your burner, cookware and gas connection, contact HOT WOK.
