I just go down to Thai town's grocery and get a carbon steel wok. Last one I bought was about 20 years ago. My previous one's handle finally broke. This looks almost exactly like mine.

I have an extra hot burner on my stove. I think it's about 31k BTU. If you don't you may want to pick up a separate burner. I keep eyeing one that goes with a turkey fryer LOL

I recommend Pailin for a good Pad Thai recipe:

I too have shopped standalone wok burners. No conclusion. And Pailin's recipe is incredible. Now I might have to go buy some bean sprouts...I think I have everything else.

Pailin has a link to an Iwakuni stand alone but it's 15k btu which is essentially a stove burner. I was looking at Turkey oil heaters which are around 200k btu but my stove obligingly died on me so I got one with a 31k burner. I'm relatively happy with it but I'd love to be able to hit 60k. The trick is small amounts and fast movement. That's why I wouldn't go with a flat surface. But even then it all tastes pretty damn good.

I've been eyeing this for some time. But there's probably no substitute for a high power gas burner.

Nice! I have been toying with putting together an outside kitchen. I have piped natural gas in so I'm just going with that. I would like an actual tandoor, a flat top, a grill and a wok burner. But I procrastinate because my Big Green Egg and stove's wok burner can do much of it since I don't feed large groups (entertain). I'll be curious to hear what you think of it if you get it.

I am so glad I put the AC units in last night.....They are both cranking.

I am going to work on my chainsaw and ATV in the shade for a minute....After I go get some carb cleaner, and a bike ride will be a must for today.

Then when and if I get too hot, I am retreating to the basement to trim jail. I have lots to do down there, and then the next gen is ready to be moved to the flower room.
