Has anyone used this with a wok ring and a wok? If so, how did it work? If not, what problems do you think may occur?

I would not put a wok ring on this.... It is too unstable and small really.... If you want a wok ring, get the larger single burner butane models or the larger propane model like they used to carry at cabela's ( they might still have it). This little burner is kinda tippy due to the angled gas tube attachment.

I have used it with a flat bottomed wok while camping and it did work. Now, as for a ring, it may or may not be stable enough for that. I would recommend surrounding it with bricks and setting the ring on that so the bottom of the wok is almost on the flame. If this does not work, go to your local Asian market and get a portable butane burner for $20-30. They are meant for woks. Not sure of the BTU rating of this little burner, but it is adequate for a wok.

I have a cooktop and I would suggest you order the ring. The wok is perfectly round on the bottom and wobbles on the flat surface. I was surprised at how heavy it is and nicely hammered. The bottom measures 20" from side to side.

Yes, I frequently use a stainless steel slotted spoon in my cast iron wok. The wok has not been "washed" in the traditional way since first cleaned and seasoned. The seasoning has built up and held up well and any minor abrasion from the metal spoon or a spatula has no noticeable effect. After use I wipe the surfaces clean and then apply a thin coat of Crisco. This has worked well for several years and I plan to keep it in use for many more. Happy cooking, Dave

I agree with the other commenter. I just took a look at mine and I would think most lids would fit, if the diameter was similar to the wok.

You must use a wok ring no matter what kind of stove you have. We got the cheap one here on amazon and have used it almost every day for over a year...The key is to use aluminum foil to cover the holes so no heat escapes. It is hard on your stove and makes a blackened circle but who cares about that when good food is coming off it. You may kill a heating element but they are cheap...we have replaced 1 in a year and who knows if it was the wok ring or not...imho totally worth it.

I wouldn't but it might work, it says some where what sizes wok and what sizes not to use it might scratch the barrel up really bad my two cents,

I love my wok, but make sure you properly season it. I have only used mine a few times and it did stick when I put honey in my sauce.

a wok normally has a curved bottom. induction cooktops work much better with a flat bottom, I don't think a wok would work very well.

Sorry I cannot help :( I had to return this wok 3 times due to a cracked handle when it arrived. I really wanted to use this wok since I already purchased the lid and waited too long to return it.

I haven't done it but I see no reason not to. You may have to adjust your timing and add veggies last sine they take less time to cook. Hope it will wok out for you

Yes, a wok works the best. Just enough for some steam to last while cooking.

If the picture is not showing the wok it will not come with the ring. thanks

I agree with Seppi below. Great wok. We only use the lid if we are steaming vegetables or to keep the finished meal warm, so it doesn't get crazy hot. It is metal, so you may need a pot holder, but it is a nice shape to grip with a hot pad.

it doesn't work very well with woks because of its curvature. you won't be able to fix it to the side. the same applies to all saucepans that are not straight, even a small curvature will make it difficult. it works great with different heights.

The helper handle is great. The wok can be heavy when it is full, so the helper handle is a lifesaver. The handle does get as hot with the wooden handle. The wok is great quality
