Customer (PF13L160IEI_Cover):
Hi, I love my burner. I’d like to get the Flat Bottom Cookware Adaptor, will you be getting any more? Thanks.
Outdoorstirfry:
The flat bottom cookware adaptor does not work with PowerFlamer 160 stove you have. It is meant for the PowerFlamer 130 stove only. If your flat bottom cookware diameter is >13”, it should be able to sit on top of your stove.
Customer (PowerFlamer PF 160):
I need a flat-bottom cookware adaptor for my PF 160 burner. The only adapter I can see in your site is this SKU: FBCA_PF13x130 Category: Accessory Tags: FBCA_PF13, FBCA_PF13x130, flat bottom cookware adaptor. Please advise how I can order a flat adaptor that will work for the PF-160 burner. Thank you for your kindest attention. Best Regards.
Outdoorstirfry:
FBCA_PF13x130 does not work on PowerFlamer 160. It only works for our PF13x130 stove. We are afraid that people order it by mistake and purposely remove its inventory. For PF 160 there is no flat bottom cookware adaptor. If your flat bottom cookware diameter is >13”, you can place it directly on PF160 stove. My wife has one flat pan and uses it with a PowerFlamer propane 160 stove without any problem.
Customer (PF13CL160):
Can I leave the pilot light burning while I’m cooking?
Outdoorstirfry:
You have a manual ignition stove. The pilot light can stay on during cooking. The tube is a bit short. The pilot flame will burn off paint around it. This does not affect function of the pilot or the main burner.
Customer:
Thank you. love the 160
Customer (PF13L160):
Hello! My wife purchased one of your PowerFlamer 160 wok burner for my Birthday last year and I LOVE IT. Unfortunately the cover I wasn’t as water proof as advertised and the burner has gotten a corroded. Now when I use the flame doesn’t come out of the burner evenly and a layer of black soot shows up on the bottom of my wok whenever I use it.
1) Is there a good way I can clean the burner?
2) If not can I buy a replacement burner? Everything else is working great.
Outdoorstirfry:
Can you watch video #5 “The yellow flame might be caused by the air/fuel mixing wheel being turned far toward the burner pipe. Adjust the wheel a bit away from the burner inlet should help.” On this page https://outdoorstirfry.com/support/product-documentation/? Let us know if it helps.
Customer:
Adjusting the oxygen flow did significantly reduce the soot issue, thanks! I am still not getting gas out of all of the burner holes, is there a suggested method for cleaning them out?
Outdoorstirfry:
Don’t you get flame out of some holes at low flame level or high level? Maybe you can send a video to show.
Customer:
At very low levels I can get flames out of most holes, on high it goes away. Here is a link to the video sorry it was a little too big to send as an attachment.
Outdoorstirfry:
Cleaning burner holes on its top plate with appropriate wire size may help. Below are steps to open the burner top plate:
Let us know if there is further question.
Customer:
That worked! Thank you for all the help.
Outdoorstirfry:
Great!
Customer (PF13L160EI_Stabilizers_Cover):
The PowerFlamer has arrived. Thank you. I have a question: How should the flame look when the air-gas mixture is set correctly?
Outdoorstirfry:
The burner should have blue and complete flame. We test every stove and adjust the flame to optimal before shipping. You don’t need to adjust the mixing wheel.
Customer (PF13S160_Cover):
I received my Powerflame Propane 160 short leg burner last week, much faster than I had expected! I haven’t set it up yet because of the cold weather.
I am now interested in purchasing the stand but am wondering if the lower shelf on this stand is adjustable so that I can drop the shelf down low enough to place my 20lb propane tank. Thank you.
Outdoorstirfry:
The height of the stand lower shelf is not adjustable due to its mating hole location on the leg. With the stove height coming down from the stand top, there is not enough room for a regular 20lbs propane tank under the stove.
Customer (PF13CS160):
I had a quick question regarding the regulator for the Powerflamer 160 I bought in March 2022. I see that the regulator model, painted red, is “XXXX XD01” but cannot find much information online with respect to what the PSIG is limited to. Do you have this information?
As a curiosity, if I get a longer hose without a regulator (and control the 20lb tank’s pressure using the tank valve), would that work in theory? Is the regulator here only used for fine flame control?
Outdoorstirfry:
The regulator output is XXX PSI. The stove needs a constant gas pressure to operate. If you get a longer hose, please connect after the regulator. The tank pressure can vary widely from 50PSI to 350PSI. This will put the stove and people around to danger. Please do not operate the stove without the regulator.
Customer (PF13L160EI):
In the product description, it says “Heat for all manual ignition stoves is continuously adjustable from 0 to 160kBTU/Hr;” I assume that the electronic ignition stoves are also adjustable from 0 to 160k? I would like both electronic ignition and adjustable if that is possible. I definitely want it to be adjustable!
Outdoorstirfry:
Thank you for spotting the description on continuous heat adjustment. Heat from all PowerFlamer propane 160 stoves is continuously adjustable. We have corrected that phrase.
Customer:
Okay, that sounds great.
One final question/recommendation. I assume that this is the “EI” improved version of the Powerflamer 160, correct? It may be good to include an explanation on your website. There seems to be some confusion online about the original vs EI and which is being sold on your site.
Outdoorstirfry:
Thank you again on the tip on the confusion. Can you share a link where this confusion is expressed? We need to understand what the original means. We always sell the latest version. The original EI can date back 15~20 years ago. For how the original one performs, we just uploaded a video from a customer (#1 at https://outdoorstirfry.com/cooking-library/video-tutorials/) where the 1st is similar to our original 15 years back and the 2nd one is our latest.
It is hard to summarize all improvements we made in last 15~20 years. If you have time, you can read through first 5~6 posts at https://outdoorstirfry.com/?s=improvement.
Customer:
I think my main confusion was that this site (https://www.seriouseats.com/outdoor-wok-burner-review) talks about how good the “Powerflamer 160EI” is, but I did not find that product advertised on your site.
This post from March 20, 2021 (https://outdoorstirfry.com/customer-feedbacks/buying-experience-from-one-customer/) made me wonder if the difference between the models was recent improvements.
I only just now realized that “EI” was “Electronic Ignition”. It seems obvious now, but I only realized it by reading the many different SKU’s on the product page. (SKU: PF13L160EI-Long-Lead-Time Category: Propane Burners Tags: PF13CL160, PF13CL160EI, PF13CS160EI, PF13L160, PF13L160EI, PF13S160, PF13S160EI, PFCS160, PowerFlamer Propane 160, PowerFlamer Propane 160 burner)
Maybe a good solution would be to have a chart with the SKU/tag and then a description of what the numbers/letter mean.
Great video! I would suggest adding your description on now vs 15 years ago to the title or description to make that more clear!
Have a great day.
Outdoorstirfry:
Your confusion makes sense. Kenji bought a stove from us a few years back. The stove he has is our previous generation. We continue improving our product. Almost every year we have new feature.
Thank you for your suggestion. We will see how we can amend.
Customer (PF13L160EI_Stabilizers_Cover):
I am certain you have many and congratulations on such a fine product. And big surprise, I was expecting a long delay.
It arrived today.
Your design is excellent. I assembled it, hooked to a tank, turned it on. The flame coverage is super. I had one of the burners at 200,000 btu, good for boiling water…only. This is so much better.
Thanks for all of your excellent design and work to have such a fine product and fast delivery .
Outdoorstirfry:
thanks for your good words. Let us know any issue when using it. Bests.
Customer (PF13x160EI):
I’m wondering whether the Powerflamer 160 EI can also double as a burner for large pots for turkey frying or shrimp boils? I ordered one, but now I’m wondering whether I was correct to assume that it was. Thank you.
Outdoorstirfry:
IF you have a long leg version stove, please take the long legs off and place the resulting short leg version on a sturdy surface (ground for example). Then you can put heavy pot on it and boil.
