Inquiry:
I see the FAQ about the differences of 160EI and 160IEI. Other than the separate knobs, is one system more reliable than the other or lower maintenance? If the electronic ignition has issues, are there parts to replace? Is there any warranty on the wok burners?
I am interested in the steel stand, but see it is currently out of stock. How does the powerflamer 160 mounted/secured to the stand?
Outdoorstirfry:
Both systems should have about the same reliability and maintenance. Some people prefer integrated knob control while others prefer separate control. Since the IEI ignition has a cover, the cover can protect better the ignition section to be damaged in case the stove falls. If the electronic ignition has issue, its entire assembly will need to be replaced entirely. We support our customers on whatever problem they are facing. However, we don’t offer any warranty.
On how to use the stand, you can look at the “Usage Examples” section of the product web page.
Inquiry:
Is the stand plug and play or do you need to install it?. Also is the stand more sturdier?
Outdoorstirfry:
The stand goes as parts. Customer will need to install it. Installing it is straight forward. We don’t provide installation guide. The stand is quite light weight, 11lbs. It does not provide better stability than the stabilizer approach. To increase stability, heavy objects like concrete block/bricks are needed to be placed on the stand. For usage examples, please see “Usage Examples” section of the product page https://outdoorstirfry.com/product/stove-stand-stainless/.
Inquiry:
Is the stove significantly more stable in the cart compared to when it’s on legs? Does the stove cover fit over the cart as well? If not, do you know of a cover that does?

Our stove cover fits the stand as well. For pictures, please see “Usage Examples” section of the product https://outdoorstirfry.com/product/stove-cover/.
Inquiry:
Will the stove stand with bricks to weigh it down be more stable than the stabilizer approach? My #1 concern is that the setup doesn’t tip over.
Outdoorstirfry:
With heavy objects on both stand and stabilizers, stability depends on joints in the system. For the stand, joints are between legs and top cover, between legs and lower shelf. For the stabilizers, joints are between the stabilizers and legs, between legs and stoves. In this case the stand might provide slight better stability.
