Jasper Single Gas Wok Burner (Duckbill Burner) JA-1DB

The Jasper JA-1DB-N is a single-burner duckbill commercial wok stove designed for Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian, and pan-Asian commercial kitchens that need serious wok-hei flame output for stir-frying, deep-fat searing, and high-temperature kitchen work. The duckbill burner geometry — a wok-style staple — concentrates the flame output under the wok base for even heat distribution and the high flame temperatures Asian cooking demands.

Why operators choose the JA-1DB-N

• Duckbill burner design — proven Asian-kitchen burner geometry for even, intense flame across the wok base
• Single-wok focused — dedicated high-heat station rather than a multi-burner compromise
• Heavy-duty stainless steel construction — built for continuous service in commercial Asian kitchens
• Compact 600 mm footprint — fits into wok-line layouts where space is at a premium
• Natural gas (NG variant) — order the LPG version separately if your site runs on bottled gas

Specifications

Venue suitability

Built for Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian, Korean, and pan-Asian restaurants and takeaways running stir-fry, wok-fried noodles, fried rice, deep-fat searing, and high-heat sauce work. Also used by ramen shops for stock reduction and dim sum operators for finishing work. Pair with multiple JA-1DB units to build out a wok line for full-service Asian kitchens.

Installation notes

The JA-1DB-N runs on natural gas — confirm your site's gas supply before ordering, and order the LPG variant if you're on bottled gas. Installation must be performed by a licensed Australian gas fitter, who will commission the unit under Australian gas-compliance regulations. A ducted commercial extraction canopy is required above any commercial wok burner — confirm your canopy's airflow rating matches the burner's output.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What's a duckbill burner and why is it preferred for woks? A: The duckbill is a flat, wide-flame burner geometry common in Asian commercial wok stoves. Compared to a standard ring burner, the duckbill spreads flame across more of the wok's curved base, gives more consistent heat across the cooking surface, and produces the high temperatures that characterise wok-hei stir-frying.

Q: Is this natural gas or LPG? A: This SKU (JA-1DB-N) is the natural gas variant — note the -N suffix. An LPG variant is available separately. Confirm your site's gas supply with your gas fitter before ordering.

Q: Who can install a commercial wok burner? A: A licensed Australian gas fitter must install and commission the unit. Commercial gas appliances require gas-compliance certification on installation in Australia.

Q: Does it need a commercial extraction canopy? A: Yes. Wok burners produce significant heat and combustion fumes — a ducted commercial extraction canopy with adequate airflow is required above any wok station. Confirm your canopy's rating matches the burner's output.

Q: Can I run multiple JA-1DB units to build out a wok line? A: Yes — the 600 mm footprint is designed to line up. Many Asian-cuisine kitchens run 2, 3, or 4 single duckbill burners side by side to give multiple chefs dedicated wok stations during peak service. Confirm overall gas load with your fitter.

Q: What's the warranty and delivery? A: 12 months parts and labour. Delivery is Australia-wide pallet freight — kerbside standard, with inside-placement quoted separately. Plan the gas-fitter install for delivery week so the unit isn't sitting unconnected.
