I need some advice on woks.

Customer (PF13L160):

Hello,  I am really enjoying the burner.  I need some advice on woks.   I bought a stainless steel wok and it’s not really working too well.  What kind of wok should I buy?

Outdoorstirfry:

Stainless steel may not conduct heat evenly, although the stove at its high heat end may be able to overcome this.   This may anyway create some problem at low heat cooking.

We would recommend getting a cast iron or carbon steel wok.   Usually cast iron work conducts heat the best, however it seldom comes in long handle.    Long handle is very convenient, safe and cool at high heat.   This cones to our optimum – carbon steel with long handle.   An example is at https://outdoorstirfry.com/?page_id=338#CarbonSteelWSL.
