Without the high heat source a wok is just a bad designed pot!

Those are best for serving Eggs Benedict.
Because everyone knows there's no plate like chrome for the hollandaise.

You can always get a roofer's blow torch and rig it up on the bottom.

An outdoor burner like those used to fry turkeys & do crab boils could possibly work if the jets were opened up.

That's it that's it. After talking to yous guys I will never ever use a Wok again.

I have one I got at World Market.

Carbon steel, not too big, and not too small.

As for cooking with it hot enough, I have a gas stove and use the big, fast-boil burner for it.

It's been snowing all day, so I dug out the electric grill and made chicken satay with peanut sauce, and Korean BBQ beef. Ran into Konstantin as I was coming out of the store.

I was going to make some Thai green curry with beef using this recipe: green curry, but it was getting late and my wife wanted her kitchen back so she could make some cookies. Guess I'll have it later this week.

Funny thing is, none of those dishes were wok dishes.
