What is included in the shipping package?

Inquiry: 

Hi,  I hope you’re well. I’m based in the UK and I’m interested in purchasing the PowerFlamer Propane 160 – Long Lead Time. However, I’d like to clarify a few things before proceeding.

Could you kindly provide more details on what exactly is included in the package? I only need the PowerFlamer Propane 160 – Long Lead Time and am unsure about the tank. Could you please explain what that entails?

Outdoorstirfry: 

We only sell stove, not tank.  We provide different options to connect to a 20lb tank or 1ln bottle.   Tank or bottle are not included in the package.

Stand stability?

Inquiry: 

if I purchase the stand (not the long legs) can I slide and toss with stability or would it be shaky? Thank you.

Outdoorstirfry:

We usually recommend putting more weight on the stand bottom shelf to increase stability in case of tossing.  A couple examples can be found by clicking on the “Usage Examples” section of the stand product page.

Which model is displayed in this video?

Inquiry: 

Which model is displayed here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/z5UvkRan668
Can you get the 6b in the non-plus? What’s the lead time for the plus? Can the stand be used for the plus? If we use a propane tank, can we buy the Natural Gas Quick Connector in the future and convert? If we order with the long legs, those are just attachments so if we want to put it in a stand in the future, we can, right? 

Outdoorstirfry: 

The stove in video https://www.youtube.com/shorts/z5UvkRan668 by our customer is a PowerFlamer propane 160 plus integrated electronic ignition one.  The stand is compatible with the plus model.  Our propane stove can’t be converted to use natural gas.  Long legs can be detached to have a short leg stove to insert into the stand.

Questions on possible rust on burner.

Inquiry: 

Hi,  Assuming that the powerflamer plus burner is not allowed to get wet, but realizing if it will be out on a covered deck year round, that it will be continuously exposed to humidity, do you get rust problems inside the burner that results in holes clogging?

If so, how would one address it?

Assuming the above conditions are abided by & that the unit is used regularly, but not abused, what is the ~life span?

And is it fully serviceable w/ replacement parts if something breaks?

Outdoorstirfry: 

Good questions.  The stove burner definitely needs cover.   Direct water into the burner deteriorates the rust problem rapidly. 

With flame heating up the iron, combined with rich humidity, the burner holes will rust.   It is not abnormal to clean the holes once a rainy season as the stove is placed outdoor.

With proper service (DIY), the burner should last as long as indoor gas range burner.   We provide cleaning instructions to our customers.

Hope we answer your questions and please reply if we don’t.

PowerFlamer for a Steel?

Inquiry:

Hello! I have been doing some research on various wok burners and have come to the conclusion that you make the best!

My initial plan was trying to find something that’s a Wok burner first but could be used for other things, specifically a steel for smash burgers and other griddled items.

I know at the end of the day it’s just a burner and has great low end control from what I’ve seen, so it should work fine. I was just wondering if you have done any testing or if you have had any customers that have purchased a steel that fits stably on the burner? Or is that not really realistic?

Thank you so much in advance.

Outdoorstirfry:

Can you send link for the steel referred in your question?   

Inquiry: 

I was looking at this one, 16×16, 3/8 thick.   https://cookingsteels.com/square-pizza-steel/

Outdoorstirfry: 

Thank for the link.  The steel is meant to be used inside an oven or a grill.   The whole steel plate would be hot.   If its dimension is >13”, it can sit on top of a PowerFlamer stove.  However, it is a heat hazard as it can slide off anytime. 

Instead of the steel, you can use a flat bottom pan diameter >13” on top of PowerFlamer stove.   Flat bottom pan usually has a long handle that allows you to operate safely.

Tank or Bottle?

Inquiry:  

Inquiry: 

Hi,  I am interested in the 160 burner and was curious on the tank and bottle version. Does that include to hose hookups for each or is there some sort of transfer switch between the two? Also, what is considered bottle- like the Coleman bottles?  Thanks in advance!

Outdoorstirfry:

The tank option offers to work with a 20lbs propane tank, typically used in home backyard.

The bottle option offers to work with a 1ln propane bottle, like Coleman bottle, typically used for camping/hiking trips.

Tank adaptor for PowerFlamer propane 160 stove (ACME QCC Type 1 connector) for France

Inquiry: 

Hi, Is the burner compatible for France propane? Any modification needed for bottle propane in France?

Outdoorstirfry:

Good question.  The stove goes with an ACME type 1 QCC tank adaptor.  It needs another piece of adaptor to connect to tank in France.  Please read https://outdoorstirfry.com/customer-feedbacks/tank-adaptor-for-stove-for-france-and-germany/.

Inquiry: 

Thanks for your response.

Could you also specify what is meant by natural gas? Some models are natural gas, are you referring to butane? Are these models  compatible for France for bottle butane gas?  Thx

Outdoorstirfry: 

Natural gas comes into household through pipe here in USA.  The natural gas pipe gas pressure is typically around ½ PSI but can deliver a lot of volume.   Propane gas is either tanked or bottled.  Full tank it is liquified and pressure can be >200PSI.    Can you search up what gas are available in France?   Please provide links.

Inquiry: 

I am planning to use only with tank and propane gas in France is a 5 kilos square bottle. Unsure if you’ll be able to open the link (https://www.butagaz.fr/bouteilles-de-gaz/nos-produits/cube-propane) but is there any issue if I use the adaptor you mentioned with a French propane gas tank?

Sorry, another question, what’s the difference between the powerflamer 160 long lead time and the powerflamer 160 plus?  Just want to check prior to ordering.

Also, would you recommend manual ignition to electronic? Asking as if there’s any issue I’ll be in France and unsure someone would be able to repair the electronic switch?

Outdoorstirfry: 

Thank for your link.  It is helpful.   Usually your tank needs a push-in and clip-on type of connection.  Please look at the direct Clip Connection piece at link.   On the connection there should be an outlet fitting that fits the adaptor of our link. 

The main difference between PowerFlamer propane 160 and Plus is their burner size.   Plus has a bigger burner.    One customer wrote a comparison at link https://outdoorstirfry.com/?s=burner+comparison.  Also we offer various electronic ignition  options.  The plus electronic option is more like indoor gas range type, with only one knob.    Electronic ignition option is not as reliable as the manual option. 

Customer: 

Just to clarify, I reached out to find out the adaptor and they’re recommending this for the propane bottle ( https://www.laboutiquedugaz.fr/produit/adaptateur-bouteille-clipsable/) I will use (5 kg cube propane butagaz bottle). I also need the direct clip as well or only1 adaptor?

Outdoorstirfry: 

You will need two pieces as below before connecting to a PowerFlamer stove.

  1.  https://www.laboutiquedugaz.fr/produit/adaptateur-bouteille-clipsable/
  2. https://www.laboutiquedugaz.fr/produit/adaptateur-usa-canada-vers-bouteille-francaise/

Customer (Singapore): 

ok i got this adaptor for the tank and it works

PowerFlamer stove top dimension etc?

Inquiry: 

Hi!   I’m interested in purchasing the powerflamer 160, but i have a few questions:  How wide is the top of the wok burner? would I be able to put a traditional pan or cast iron on it?  what is the difference between 160 and 130?  Thanks!

Outdoorstirfry: 

PowerFlamer 160 top diameter is 13”.  If your flat pan diameter is >13”, it should be able to sit on top of the stove.  PowerFlamer 160 uses bigger burner and stove side control.  130 uses a small burner and its control is on the tank side.
