Inquiry:
I see that you sell a propane regulator. Is that something I would need to run the PowerFlamer Propane 160? My propane is in a ho-hum Home Depot tank.
Outdoorstirfry:
The PowerFlamer Propane 160 burner should ship with a regulator ready to connect to a tank. You don’t need additional equipment to connect.
Inquiry:
Can I use a regular steel wok, even though the temperature will be much higher than my stove’s?
Outdoorstirfry:
Since the steel wok is receiving the flame and heat, it should be hotter than the stove body. Let us know if I don’t answer your question.
Inquiry:
I suppose it was a dumb question. I was wondering if my very old wok will melt or warp. I have a new carbon steel wok which I thought I’d reserve for indoor use, and use the old one outside. I am pretty sure it is carbon steel, but don’t know how to confirm.
Outdoorstirfry:
No question is dumb. IF you are sure your wok is steel, please look at this page https://outdoorstirfry.com/cooking-library/cooking-techniques/advanced-stir-fry-technique-wok-hei/. The steel turns yellow at 1100C. The stove will not heat up to that temperature I’m sure, with an outdoor natural convection environment at 25C.
Inquiry:
Thanks. I’m pretty sure it is steel. Worst that happens is I’ll pitch it if it doesn’t hold up. All good.
Outdoorstirfry:
Long before reaching that temperature, all food ingredients in the wok should have become carbon and you would have noticed it before your pitch.
