Hey y'all, I've been wanting to upgrade my burner for doing stir-fries. The one that I now use works okay for small batches............. but that ain't my bag! Cool

I found this company. Some of you have surely bought from here, but I wanted to turn others on to a great variety at even better prices.

You can't get enough BTUs out of the standard one you get for frying fish and turkey?

I use an Eastman Outdoors Kahuna which produces 65,000 BTU. It looks like a jet engine and turns a carbon steel wok cherry red in a minute. I can bring 5 gallons of water to boil in about 10 minutes.

It is great for blackening things in a cast iron skillet.

I'm not familiar with the company you mention, just wanted to toss out some thoughts on burner sizes.

No problemo, as soon as they arrive I WILL be throwing together one of those two mentioned eats, and I'll let you know.

I did lots of searching and this is the best place that I found for all of this stuff, and it's in TEXAS! Cool

Hey y'all, I used my new rig last night. All I have to say is WOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shocked

The high pressure regulator goes up to 20 psi but I set it at 10 and never had the needle valve on the burner open more than .5 - .75 turns, and I had blue/white flame coming up the sides on my wok!!!!!! I cooked a batch of pepper steak, and even with a cold my wife said that it was the best that I've ever made and also agreed that it was at LEAST as good as any that we've ever eaten, and nothing that I did was any different than usual except for my new burner/regulator. The whole thing took about 3 minutes, maybe a little more, and the veggies were all done but still crisp and had some nice caramelization going on, which greatly adds to the overall flavor.

All in all, money well spent!!!!

Very Happy

Thanks Luke, and yes......................... it WAS good!!! Very Happy

The pic is before I got the new units, but it was still great. The last batch that was so freaking good was chowed into before any thoughts of photos came to mind, I couldn't wait to try it!!!! Shocked

I was planning on doing that next time. It will be a first for me, I'm not a seasoned (no pun intended) pro like Sapo when it comes to the video thing, but the cooking part I'm darn good with! Cool
