We can provide two choices:  the typical is a ACME type I connector .  Appliance side swivel nut fitting is female 1-5/16” ACME x 1/4” M.P.T.. As the appliance side of theType I connection, it makes a positive connection by threading on to the ACME threads of the valve with a user-friendly right hand turn motion. Simple to use with its wrenchless, familiar right hand thread.  Another choice would be a soft nose connector .  1/4” M.P.T. x Excess Flow Soft Nose P.O.L. with Plastic Handwheel.  Some of our European customers go to their local propane store to to change to their local connector type.

You do need to connect to a natural gas source.  Usually natural gas comes in to the house in a pipe, then you need to have an outlet outside of your house.  Our stove is outdoor only.

Once I receive the unit, I will will mount it within a very decorative “BBQ/Wok Island” on my patio. I will probably have a stainless steel “hood” or cover made to match the new BBQ/Grill so dirt and debris will not be an issue. Also, can the control & ignitor switch be mounted in such a way that it looks like a “Built-in”?

The ignition is an integral piece of the stove.  We would imagine fairly hard to detach it and re-do all pipes and connection.  However, the stove is about 2 feet long.  You might be able to size your customized patio island such that the ignition just comes out right.

   Which wok burner do you recommend?  I notice the BTU ratings are different.  I assume it would be better to go with the higher ratings 130-160?  Are they easily adjustable, low, med, high?  Also, the long leg burners, – do you have the option of taking the legs off?

At the end of our product selection guide.  There is some general guideline on selecting the stoves.

 The higher the BTU, the faster you can cook the dish.  Or you can cook more with a bigger wok.  Generally speaking PowerFlamer family stoves (except the PF13xx130EI) have better adjustment than the EasyFlamer ones.  Yes, the long legs can be detached.

We supply a 3/8 male pipe connector at end of the hose.  If your natural pipe diameter is different, you can go to any hardware store to buy different connector for it.  We also can supply a quick connector at our product page.     

   I’ve been looking all over for a wok stove that is affordable and multifunctional and your website has so many to choose from, I’ve become a bit overwhelmed. After looking through all your stoves it looks as if your PowerFlamer PF9CL70: long leg stove configurable for camping, home backyard, ground and table uses, is a really good choice. I do have a question two. Does the stove come with all the necessary connectors for using coleman style propane tanks and 20lb. propane tanks? What size and style wok would you recommend for this stove? (I’m used to 14″ carbon steel, Iron/enamel, and cast iron woks).  Your stoves make a fellow like myself want to go out in the 2 feet or so of snow we have had on the ground the past couple months to learn how to achieve that so elusive, at least on an indoor electric stove, wok hei.

Thanks for your comments. 1.  the stove will come with the coleman style throw away bottle connector installed.  The user guide will have instruction on how to detach for adapting to 20lb tank; 2.  14″ wok is very appropriate for a PF9 stove.

I want to order one of your stoves. Please advise which is best. I want the largest cooking base, electric start, and for propane tank only. I am confused between the easy flamer and power flamer models. Thank you

Both EF13xxx and PF13xx130EI stoves would work for you. The PF13xx130EI stove is much more powerful than the EasyFlamer one but the EasyFlamer stove is slightly lighter in weight (about 4-5 lbs lighter).  There is a section under our selection guide web page which tells how to select a stove. It is here.  Hope this help.

Some of our stove products have an adjustable regulator. You can adjust the red cap on top of the regulator for heat output of the stove. Yet another type of our stove products use fixed pressure regulator. In this case we have a knob down stream for you to adjust.  Hope we answer your question.

I am interested in your EasyFlamer EF13LN50WG Natural Gas Stove. I have natural gas hook up on my balcony. I am confused after I read your frequent asked questions. You mentioned that high power cook can only use propane gas, because natural gas does not have high pressure. And yet you mention this stove as High Power Natural Gas Stove. I want to make sure that I get a NATURAL GAS STOVE.  Also, what is the standard natural gas pipe line size? Will your kit fit?

There are couple of reasons for natural gas not generating as high heat as propane gas: 1). Heat from one unit natural gas is lower than the same unit of propane gas; 2). Natural gas typically comes in low pressure pipe while propane gas typically comes in high pressure tank. Higher pressure can push more gas through a burner.  We call our EasyFlamer stoves high power stove because they can process more gas amount and thus higher power than in-house stoves. Typical natural gas lines are either 1/2″ or 3/8″. Our stoves are only for outdoor use and come with a 3/8″ male connector. If your pipe is 1/2″, you can easily buy a fitting between these two dimensions.

I have been researching the type of wok to use, especially the material, such as cast iron, stainless and others.  My understanding is that cast iron reacts to food and rusting could be a problem.  What is your recommendations?

Cast iron is probably the best however is pretty heavy.  Steel wok is lighter and can still transfer heat pretty well.  These two you will need to maintain well by applying oil after washing.  Stainless does not need much care however heat trasfer efficiency is not as good.  Cooking with iron wok is not a problem since human body needs iron also.  It is the extra maintenance step that might deter people to own one.  With an EasyFlamer stove, either stainless or iron wok will work.
