There is no difference of power between natural and propane gas stoves.  Since energy per unit for natural gas is lower than propane gas, the volume you consume for the same power during same time for natural gas will be higher than propane.  This is compensated by the price difference of these two gas types.

what i was trying to ask you is that you sell at least 3 stoves with different max BTU settings (50k,70k 130k) all for wok cooking. I am interested in the 9 inch ring model. what do i need to know to decide between the 3.

Hi, Please look at the product Selection Guide. Let us know if it is helpful to you.

Although I don’t want to be underpowered for stirfry, I’m concerned about how low the heat goes on the powerflame model. For example, I would like to use my wok to deep fry which is typically done at 350 degrees. On my gas range, I can adjust the heat to maintain a steady temperature at this level. Will the powerflamer be too hot at the low end to be able to maintain a 350 temp. for deep fry?

All our PowerFlamer series PF9x50, PF9x70, PF9x130, PF13x50, PF13x70 and PF13x130 can be adjusted to provide from zero to their maximum heat range.  No only you can maintain one heat in the middle (for deep fry), but also you can do simmer (slow cooking) if you like.  

Inquiry:  Do you recommend any cover for the PF long leg? Where can you get this cover?

Outdoorstirfry:

You can use your wok upside down on the burner such that no dirt can get into the burner holes.

Convenient enough, flipping the wok upside down after cooking serves the purpose.

 

I purchased the outdoor stove with you sometime ago.  I have used it multiple times with the throwaway propane bottles, and it worked just fine. However I am not able to connect it to the 20lbs propane tank. The end of the stove fits well with the propane bottles, but it doesn’t connect to the tank. Can you please suggest a way to connect it to the propane tank?

You must have bought a configurable stove.  You can detach the throwaway bottle connector by screwing it (it is shown on the picture on page 1 of attached installation guide, also on the web Setup Configurable Stove).  Once unscrewed, the remaining connector is for 20 lbs propane tank connection.  You can put the throwaway bottle connector back if you like to use bottle again. 

We recommend up to 18″, although some of our customers use bigger one.  The stove is less stable when people use bigger wok.

We do not have any particular cook book in mind.  However if you need recipes, our web site provides from menu recipe.  In terms of cooking technique, you can make use of our cooking library.

If you need more power, use PowerFlamer stove which can be ignited by a BBQ igniter.  IF you like ease of use, use EasyFlamer stove which comes with a electronic igniter.

The stove I bought, is it for outdoor use or in door use ?  I have a outdoor barbecue stove connected to natural gas. But it looks like the connector to my barbecue stove is smaller than the connector on the stove I bought ? Is there I can use connector to my barbecue stove to connect to the stove I bought ?

The stove is for outdoor use.  For natural gas stove we supply a 1/2″ male pipe connector.  If the connector is too big in diameter, it indicates that you might have a 3/8″ natural gas pipe connector.  You can either go to a hardware store

• for a 3/8 to 1/2 converter between your natural gas pipe and the connector from the stove;

• or find a 3/8 male pipe to 3/8 barb connector to replace the 1/2″ to 3/8″ connector currently on the stove hose.

 Hardware store also sells flexible natural gas connector.  You might be able to find one that matches both ends.  Let us know how it works out.   

Given the different sizes 9, 11, 13 etc of the rings I am unsure about the wok sizes usable to the different ring sizes? Is there a diameter range for each?

We found that wok size 4 to 5 inches more than the stove ring diameter yields very good cooking result.
