can you use this as wok burner too?

yes I think it would work fine is that I would be real sturdy and durable real good n heats up fast

Yes, in fact I suspect it was basically designed for woks. However, a small wok might sit too deeply in it and get too close to the burner jets. My 16" wok works great.

Yes; I do on the smallest burner. It's a great product... you won't be disappointed!

I don't know the answer, however, the aroma from the burner makes me question the same thing. If you do purchase the burner, use it in a well ventilated space. Perhaps propane, or as you're asking "gas stove" might work. The flame is very small and the unit may not do well on a gas stove. Must be watched. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can. It's Carbon Steel; but I don't think you are going to get the heat intended for this wok. This is a great heavy gauge wok; if anything is going to give you good results, this one will. The Wok Shop is great, email them with any other questions, they provide great support.

We have a glass top stove, and this did not work with it - even using the burner ring. Putting it directly on the burner, only a small portion on the bottom would get very hot, but the sides would not. I'm not the cook, but I was told it was not suitable for normal wok cooking. We are now looking for a handhammered flat bottom wok to replace this one.

I would expect not. It is very rounded and requires a ring to stabilize it. This wok shape is best used with gas burners. For your application I recommend a flat bottom wok and use a burner that matches the bottom diameter.

If you are using over an outside high heat wok burner, 35K BTU's and up, yes the handle will get too hot to touch. On a household range, electric or gas, it should not be a problem--unless making a dish that takes a long stir fry time (which is unusual). But for under 4 minute stir fries, I never had a problem on household ranges (ie. 5K-10K BTU's).

Most likely yes. Try putting a magnet to it. If the magnet sticks the pan should work with the burner. I love mine!

Yes. You will likely have to remove the grate and use a wok ring in it's place. Having said that, many stove manufacturers sell wok rings specific to your stove. This is almost always a better option if they do make one as the fit is perfect.

I am a vegan and cook in this wok constantly. Love it. Always watch what you are cooking so it doesn't burn. You don't want to use high heat. Use middle heat on a gas burner. I don't have electric so I don't know how that would work. Hopes this helps you make your decision. Great wok

I never tried it, but there does not seem to be any reason why you can't unless it boils over and messes up your burner. I would call REC TEC, they are very responsive and would have a better answer.

Haven't done it myself, but don't see why not. Would definitely need to sit on just one burner andwould still need to monitor for temperature regulation.

Yes it can. We have a flat top glass stove and it works just fine. The bottom is flat, not rounded as other woks are.

No, you cannot do this. For this purpose I suggest you to use butane burner, which you can buy separately

I wouldn't try it. The issue I had with the pan was with my flat top stove. The burner heats the part of the pan that touches it so quickly and the part that overhang the burner stays cool causing the pan to warp.

I think you could but I have this piece and the top piece is nice and heavy so you don't have to worry about burning your food...but, if you don't have the top pan that goes with bottom unit..give it a try....good luck!
