Could be better |
The wok is too big and it's slightly flimsy. The gas adjuster would be better on a dial with temp settings instead of guessing. Wish the leg adjustments had more than one setting.
Lighting is a bit scarey. Usually get a POOF.
Other than all the negatives, I still like having an outdoor wok with that many BTU's. |

A Wok Saves the Hapless Haole |
I am no cook.
I married into a large family on Oahu that has a thirty year tradition of camping twice a year on a beach over a four day weekend. At these multifamily gatherings I have enjoyed many meals, but have never cooked a single one. (I did do the dishes though). This year, at Granma's house during the organizational meeting for upcomming camp, miraculously a spot opened up to cook The Saturday Night Dinner. (Actually, it got all quiet, they all looked at me, and then my name got written in).
"Sounds good to me, I'll do it."
Then I told my wife the happy news, we get to "cook Saturday night!" And she says:
"What the he@#!$ did you do that for, there is going to be 30 to 40 people there, that's the biggest night! Who did...Oh."
"No problem, honey. Ill take care of it."
I got on-line Monday, the Eastman Outdoors' WOk and burner arrived on Wednesday. I hooked it up to the tank on Thursday. I had question (propane tank related*) and was helped out immensely by the Eastman Outdoors Customer Service gal.
My wife and I prepped stir-fry fixin's Saturday for four hours and then Saturday night cooked up a meal, no problem for four families with countless kids . The wok also cooked all the fish from the net and the burner easily accomodated other large pots for a variety of foods.
I recommend this product for ease of setup, excellent customer service and a significant reduction in marital stress.

*(I did have a small problem with the propane tank, until I talked with a coworkers husband, I didn't know you buy the tank empty then get them filled). |

Very Pleased |
I really value reading user reviews, but have to be pretty impressed or feel totally ripped off to write one. All aspects of this product seem excellent. The burner is rock solid and as powerful as everyone says. The power is not overkill, it is essential to it all working well. The tools and wok are high quality. Having abandoned my first wok experiment, an electric wok years ago, and approximated stir frying on electric stoves since then, I am delighted to say this is the real deal. I thought the wok itself might be way too big for a family of four (usually three). I bought a 16 inch wok expecting to use it more often than the included 22 inch wok, but I find the 22 inch wok is much easier to cook most things. The extra depth keeps all the spattering away from my arms and clothes and the space on the sides is great for holding cooked food out of the high heat used while cooking. The tools rest securely on the wok sides while you reach to add more food to the wok. I bought a 16 inch northern style wok with a long handle, but suspect it will take a while to figure out how to flip the food using it instead of using the excellent long handled tools supplied. Things cook so fast that I have not yet gotten comfortable with this flipping method, but I intend to master it.
Every book I consulted said to stay with the carbon steel wok. I went that route so I haven't tried the stainless steel version. I am very happy with both carbon steel woks. The seasoning on the burner was not hard and the natural non-stick surface that results from use works well.
The only issue is cleaning the beast. The 22 inch wok is too big to easily wash in the kitchen sink. It is possible, just not easy. Dumping the first batch of wok cleaning water (with a fair amount of food bits) into the yard when I wash it outside with a hose seems crude, green perhaps, but something done in the middle ages, not in todays burbs with neighbors close by. I am working through the cleaning issues and am very happy with all the pieces.
The clip does not hold the thermometer in place securely while deep frying is my only complaint. I can't figure out how to keep it in the oil without it slipping and resting on the wok bottom while stirring up the food. I am going to make a small bamboo support and see if that solves the issue. We almost never deep fried things in the past, but felt I had to try it out while test driving the unit. This seems like an excellent way to deep fry, being outside is safer, the depth of the wok keeps the oil where it belongs, and the power lets you keep the oil at the right temperature no matter how much food you add. The next learning adventure will be to figure out how to deal with the oil. A lot of meals with something deep fried also include something else cooked in the wok, so just what do you do with a wok full of hot oil? |

Just the HEAT YOU NEED ! |
Anyone who has tried to wok a family meal might have encountered a few traditional issues on their regular kitchen stove:
- the stove does not get the wok hot enough, fast enough and wokking turns into boiling
- the wok is not large enough to properly stir fry the quantities
- there is no room in the wok to keep food to the side while wokking other items in the center
We purchased this item, not for camping trips, but to be able to FINALLY wok like a Chinese Chef.
The wok gets INCREDIBLY hot and you can therefore not use the wok inside the house safely but it can certainly be used in the garage or on the veranda.
The wok itself is restaurant size: HUGE. Do yourself a favor and find an extra 16 or 14" carbon steel wok (the wok shop has great ones). Since the wok is so large it is very hard to properly season but we did on this actual set.
The wok is of high quality and is guanranteed to get better over time. Now that ours is seasoned nothing sticks!!!! It's as if it is teflon without the harmful teflon non-stick coat ... go figure.
The set is very very stable, i.e. the base won't wobble or hold a grown man if need be. A little bit of assembly is required for the base so make sure you test it for leaks and sturdy connections.
Wifey did the assembly and she broke 0 nails and assembled in 15 minutes.
This item is a cheap alternative to a pro wok-stove like the restaurants use. We love cooking in it and have found our meals to be healthier and faster.
This also comes with 2 heavy uality wok utensils.
EXCELLENT DEAL. |
