Z.M.C twin-burner stove with griddle review

The only twin-burner stove in this hub, with a griddle plate, room for two cartridges at once and a stated pressure regulator. It names the cartridge standard and never gives a weight or a size.

What this listing puts on record

A twin-burner tabletop gas stove in a metal housing, with two 2.0 kW burners, bays for two 227 g (8 oz) MSF-1a cartridges, automatic piezo ignition, a pressure regulator and stepless flame control. Supplied with a griddle plate, eight cartridges and a manual.

What two burners actually buy

A pot and a pan at the same time. Every other stove in this hub is single-burner, which means one thing cooks while the other goes cold. That is the whole argument for the size and the weight — and the weight is not published.

The regulator claim

The maker states a pressure regulator and describes it as holding output constant, and separately describes stepless adjustment. Those are two different mechanisms and it is worth keeping them apart: several listings in this hub offer only the second and it can read like the first.

The five hours

Up to 5 hours of burn time, with no flame setting attached. The single-burner stoves here quote 1.5 to 3 hours and tie the range to the setting, which is the more useful form of the same claim.

What the listing keeps quiet about

No weight, no dimensions, no pot support width. On a stove built to carry two burners, two cartridges and a griddle plate, those are the three figures that decide where it lives.

Before ordering

Measure the table or the shelf it has to sit on, because the listing will not. Read the maker’s instructions on ventilation, on fitting both cartridges and on where the stove may be used, together with the rules of the site you are on.

Availability

The American Amazon store returned nothing, so the buy link opens a local search rather than a page that is not there.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • Two burners and two cartridge bays, so a pot and a pan run at once without swapping
  • Names the MSF-1a cartridge standard and supplies eight of them with a griddle plate
  • States a pressure regulator, described as holding output constant — one of two stoves in this hub to claim one
  • Publishes an output per burner and a consumption figure rather than a single headline wattage

Compromises

  • No weight at all, on the largest stove in this hub — two burners, two cartridges and a metal housing
  • No dimensions, so whether it fits the table or the boot cannot be established before it arrives
  • The up-to-5-hours figure carries no flame setting, unlike the ranges quoted on the single-burner stoves here
  • No pot support width, which on a twin-burner stove decides whether two pans can sit side by side

What people ask before buying

Does it use two cartridges at the same time?

The maker states room for two 227 g (8 oz) MSF-1a cartridges and two 2.0 kW burners. It does not publish a consumption per burner — the 155 g (5.5 oz)/h figure is given once — so how the two cartridges deplete relative to each other is not stated.

Is a griddle plate the same as a grill?

The maker supplies a griddle plate and describes frying, grilling and cooking with it. It publishes no dimensions for the plate and no separate instructions in the listing. Read the maker’s manual on the plate, on ventilation and on where the stove may be used before lighting it.

Does Z.M.C publish a boil time?

No. Not published on the listing — a burn time of up to 5 hours is published in place of a boil time, without a flame setting attached. What the listing does publish instead is the pressure regulation: Pressure regulator — stated, described by the maker as holding output constant, alongside stepless flame adjustment.

Our score

8.5/ 10

The biggest cooking surface in this hub and the least described object: two burners, a regulator and a griddle, and not one measurement of the thing itself.
