I’m excited to purchase one of your wok burners. I’ve done a lot of research and settled on your company.
I was hoping you could help clarify about the electronic ignition. In some of your reader questions and FAQs you mention the electronic ignition can sometimes fail. I was hoping to get a sense of whether it is worth going with the electronic ignition or just using a BBQ lighter with the manual.
I have never used an outdoor BBQ, but I am a passionate cook who has used 25K BTU stoves indoors. I recently moved to a home with outdoor space and am planning to use the powerflamer.
As a beginner, does it make sense to get the electronic start or just use the manual?
Outdoorstirfry:
We would suggest to go with manual ignition with a long nose BBQ igniter. In this way you don’t have to deal with the electronic ignition systems that subject to weather. An electronic ignition head can become unreliable after a couple years. After that you will default to use a long nose BBQ igniter anyway.
Hope we answer your question. If not, please ask further.

This is really helpful! Thanks.
Would that be the PF13L160 if I am going for the highest BTUs and the long legs?
And is that the model you sell on Amazon?
Thanks again!
Outdoorstirfry:
PF13L160 it is. We sell this on amazon as well. You should get a better price + shipping from our web site.
