Inquiry:
could you explain the stabilizers and what they do and how they would help me.
Is the stove cover made for waterproofing the unit or is it more like a pot stove lid and just for preventing debris from resting on the unit once left out of use?
Outdoorstirfry:
For stabilizers, please read https://outdoorstirfry.com/?s=stabilizers. Stove cover is of water-resistant material. For covering from dust, you simply flip the wok upside down.

Hi, I’ve seen many people on YouTube cook with your burner and it looks to be the best for outside wok cooking. I have a few questions.
The difference between regular one and integrated electronic ignition is just the auto starter right or are there more differences? Do both have pilot flame for low heat cooking times?
I really like the stove stand, I assume that fits your burners perfectly right, just put them in and be done?
What are the stabilizers and curious what color the stove cover is? If I get the stove stand do you have cover for that as well?
Thanks very excited to have found you guys will do some videos on Facebook and probably get you more customers

Thank you for quick response! So if I want the stove stand and don’t care about using a lighter to initially light it I want the PowerFlamer Propane 160 with short legs and manual ignition? Since I will have stand won’t need stabilizers correct?
For stand if I get wheels they can be locked it looks like in picture.
Will be ordering today just want to get exactly what I need. Very excited to get your product and do proper wok cooking! Right now even when wok is 585 degrees it falls to 180 the sec cold chicken or meat hit pan! I end up cooking food with steam and not the searing hot pan I want/need! 🙂 I don’t think people realize they NEED your product!

Inquiry:
Was going to order but a little nervous about comment about stability of stand. Can propane fit under the burner to give it more weight? How heavy is burner? I think my wife would complain if I put bricks on it, maybe I could put some of our cast iron pans we keep inside on it they’re quite heavy. I could cook with a big cast iron pan on this as well if I want to do seared steaks or smash burgers right?
I have a pit boss flat top grill I plan to get rid of and focus on wok and cast iron pan cooking on your device hopefully. I want the functionality with something that looks nice so wife doesn’t complain all the time. 🙂
Outdoorstirfry:
The height between two shelves of the stand does not fit a propane tank if you consider height of stove coming down from the top shelf hole. A short leg PowerFlamer propane stove has weight about 23lbs.
If your and wife’s wok cooking does not involve much wok tossing which can carry an edge of the stove which in turn affects the stand, you don’t have to worry much about the stability. We are user to the stove with long legs ourselves for last 20 years. We don’t have any stabilizers since our cooking style does not involve tossing. Even if we toss (a few times in last 20 years), we make sure to lift the entire wok out of stove not to affect the stove.
Inquiry:
Hi, Do I have to buy a tank or bottle with the 160 long lead time model? I’d like to not have to do this. Also, what exactly do the leg stabilizers do? How do they work? And does the cover custom fit the burner or is simply a square tarp? Lastly, is there a pilot flame without the electric ignition start or the pilot flame only exists if you have the electric ignition option?
Outdoorstirfry:
Hope we answer your questions. Let us know any further question.
Customer (PF13L160/stabilizers/cover):
What a pleasant surprise to know it’s coming earlier than you first predicted. (You first told me 3-6months.). A quick question I have while I am waiting for stove, regarding blue flame vs yellow flame. I know we want the flame as blue as possible. So as a general rule, would you say I should just leave maximum air for the bluest flame? Or do you have a recommended air ratio for me?
Outdoorstirfry:
The stove as shipped has already been adjusted to give blue flame. However in case, there is a mixing wheel in front of the burner inlet that you can play and adjust.
Customer:
I installed the legs as instructed (screws facing inside, inward Bend facing outside). It is still very wobbly and I don’t think these screws are easy to screw in. I do a lot of wok tossing and I’m genuinely afraid it will fall over when I’m cooking and cause major injury…..can you suggest a better solution for me? Also tell me the screw size. I think I’m going to home Depot to get better ones. The ones you provided are hard to screw with my screw driver.
Just used my stove for the first time. I thought I would give you a bit of feedback if that’s all right with you.
Good: The stove itself works great. The concentrated fire is very powerful. I actually caught grease fire the first time I add oil in wok because I wasn’t aware how hot it gets. That’s something I need to learn. Also absolutely love the pilot light and fire control. Now I can turn fire off and add ingredients , then turn it back on, without feeling rushed.
Need improvement: the legs are fairly stable, I haven’t had accident yet. But still not super confident with it, even with stabilizers. Your stove is advertised as 13″ diameter, but I only measure 11″ inside. So not very big to flip wok against fire-guard like those professional Chinese chef. But you can increase sales for smaller 12″ wok, since that fits perfectly. I bought the cover, that definitely needs improvement. It’s just a basic tarp I can buy from home Depot, doesn’t fit properly and doesn’t look nice.
Overall great product. Communication was great, and you were knowledgeable and fast. I love the Chinese entrepreneur spirit, as I’m Chinese myself. I wish you all the best. Happy holidays.
Outdoorstirfry:
Thank you for your feedback. We always want to hear what our customers say on our products. We are always thinking of how to improve. A couple points to clarify. We name our stove 13” by its wok ring adaptor outer diameter. We understand regular house does not need a restaurant type stove and it will require too big a wok. Also We purposely do not make the tarp cover down to the ground which will collect dirt and leaves.
Customer:
Regarding the cover, what I mean was, it was a bit too big. Perhaps a more fitted smaller one would look more appealing, maybe even with outdoorstirfry logo on it! May I also suggest some clippings for the bottom of cover to secure with the legs. That way on very windy days, the cover won’t fly away. Anyway, that’s just my idea. Hope you find it helpful. Cheers.
Outdoorstirfry:
Thank you for more information on the cover. We make the cover for all our stove products. It is slightly bigger for PowerFlamer propane 160. We have bigger stove products. Currently our cover has two versions, one with grummet holes and another with strings at the bottom. If there are strings on yours, you can use them to strap to the legs of the stove. If there are only grummet holes, you can come up with a string yourself to tie the grummet holes to the legs of the stove.

2 questions if I may:
Thanks again. Looking forward to using your invention.
