Thought I'd post this little baby for you all.
http://www.gardenbliss.co.uk/products/index.asp?TID=901&ID=2905
It is available everywere, this link is just an example so you know what it looks like, do a search & you will find loads & at very differing prices, eBay was the cheepest the last time i looked.
This is an amazing little piece of kit for those of us who don't have Gas Cookers & like myself prefer to cook outside (even in the Winter).
I have contacted the actual Manufactures & they have replied & confirm that this is a 7kw Gas Burner (i had my doubts & still do, I'm sure some of you peeps here will be able to clarify).
It is supposed to be an equivalent to a 7000 Watt Cooker, does this necessarily mean it is 7kw in Gas terms.
Cheers for now.
.....DARTHPHALL..... :)

Looks like the real deal Darth, my first thought was 30 cm pan isnt so large.. but thats actually larger than the pan i sometimes use for my curries at home.
Here is a little more information: http://www.eurocosm.com/Application/Products/Cooking-products/hot-wok-GB.asp (http://www.eurocosm.com/Application/Products/Cooking-products/hot-wok-GB.asp)
Nice find and reasonable price

This is certainly the baby! I saw ones similar to these out in the Middle East and SE Asia, and you can see they are very effective and feel can really the heat from them even out there. I might invest in one for the next kitchen. Thanks Darth, your the Yoda!
Happy Cooking

Hi Darthphall,
I presume 7 kW (ie 7000 watts) is the power consumption of the burner using propane gas. This equates to an energy consumption of approximately 25 megajoules per hour (ie 25 MJ/h), by my reckoning.
I know that the wok burner on my barbecue has an energy consumption of about 18MJ/h??so I?d say that a power consumption of about 7kW (ie 25 MJ/h) sounds about right for this burner.
Anyway, who cares, as long as it gets bloody hot and the curry catches alight! ;D
?..I?m going for a 59 MJ/h (approximately 16 kW) burner!!!!!!!!!! ??..whoooooooooooooooooooooosh! :o
-
I am awating with baited breath! I bet we will see it on Google Earth!

Just for completeness, I checked the energy consumption of my (bog standard) domestic gas cooker (natural gas), as follows:
- Smallest burner = 4 MJ/h (1.1 kW)
- Medium burner = 7 MJ/h (1.9 kW)
- Largest burner = 12 MJ/h (3.3 kW)
I think I read somewhere that Mark J thinks that a typical restaurant burner is about 4.5 kW?
So, thereafter:
- Typical barbecue wok burner = 18 MJ/h (5.0 kW)
- Darth's "Hot Wok" = 25 MJ/h (7 kW)
- My "soon-to-be toy" = 59 MJ/h (16 kW)
To try to put things into some perspective, I notice that those large, outdoor, free-standing, propane driven, patio heaters typically consume about 18 to 40 MJ/h

You don't half Gas on Cory Ander :D Hehehehe :D ;D
Have got a link to your 16 Kw burner (is it's an outside one Gas burner similar to the Hot Wok?).
Cheers from .....DARTHPHALL..... :P

Thats the real deal Darth, exaclty what they used in all Takeaways in New Zealand.
Alas i am back in the UK now, jet lag is almost gone, ive had 3 curries already, its good to be back.
Why dont we see if we can form a little buying club for this product, if we can get an idea of numbers of people that might want to purchase i can approach them for a bulk discount....it may be worth as shot.
Stew ;D

EXCELLENT idea Stew ;)
"I want one for Christams Santa"!
We need to shop around for a good seller as there are many who sell it & the price can vary considerably.
Keep in touch.
Welcome back to "rip off Britain" AHEM ...sorry welcome home STU lol ;D
-
A great suggestion Stu, yes and welcome back to rip off Britain and that's putting it mildly. I would probably be up for one if the price is right, I don't really need one but what the heck!
I have just been trying the process to emigrate to NZ and open a BIR but they told me to Naff off as I was too old. :(
BTW Darth, I have told you before that there is no Santa, and its not PC anymore anyway ::) Just come to terms with it old son and hold those tears back :'(. Its better to seek the HG isn't it?
Any party that says it will release the BIR secret in their manifesto gets my vote.
Happy Cooking

I like being.........."not politically correct".... being PC is it this ?.... "hi I'm a dehumanised, spineless product of the 21st century" ;D
Santa Clause is real & Mermaids sit in Tree's eating Pencils & Mittens, am i the only sane man left ;D :P blubaa blubaa where's my chilled Phall sauce?
Anyhow Hot Woks all round i see, good, Stew do your magic mate & it will be "oooh look what Santa Brought"! :D
-
Hey I'm not PC these days, got fed up with it because no one else was PC, especially those who yell PC everytime we put our foot in it.....
I guess you will be telling me you believe in Yoda and Jawas next. Hmmm.... maybe cold phall is what you need Darth! ;D
keep on cookin'

where's my chilled Phall sauce?
I'm glad im not the only one who sneaks to the fridge for a spoonfull of that mind blowing tasty chilled Phall sauce, when ever i order a ruby, i always get em to make a phall sauce(no meat or veg)
You got a good recipe for it yet?
-
Hi John, Yes i can make a Phall 100% correct (now there's a boast).
But i must point out, IMHO All the Phall's I've ever bought from Bir's are so full of chilli powder (i like it :D) that they seem different to vindalloo & Tindalloo Curries even though they may not be.
If you want the recipe matey just Pm me okee.
I will get round to posting it soon too. ;)
-
One of my favorites is cold curry for breakfast, especially if I have had a few beers the night before. I either eat it neat, or grab a couple of end crusts and make a sarnie. It is mind blowing but it sure sorts the system out and clears the fuzzy head!

& keeps ya regular :o

The Dominator, a popular cooker for catering is 5.8 Kw per burner; but the more expensive ones can go up to around 7Kw. You need a very big gas pipe and a huge gas meter to go with them! One of the reasons we try to manage with a domestic range cooker (Ugh!), can't affor ?3k for a new supply!
CP

Hence ?60 or less for the Hot wok & ?14 for a bottle of Gas.
You can do it outside & be as professional as you like.
(Oil & curry everywhere) & no burnt Ceiling ;) :D ;D 8) Sorted.
-
These were circa ?60 last year and now if you want one the min I can find is about ?115
Anyone know where to get them cheaper?
-
hi donnie if you go to www.hamlitongasproductsltd.co.uk or go to www.ebay.co.uk and type in boiling rings there are 2 burners about 30 pounds 1 is about 3kw but there is also an 8kw burner for about the same price jerrym bought on last year and has never looked back! :) and they are a 1/3 of the price of the hot wok 8)
kind regards and welcome

Hi Parker21
Thanks. Funnily enough I was looking at those today.
I've seen two that are about 8kW. Any idea which is the better of the two?
-
hi donnie they do a square 1 too which i believe would be more suitable, but if i had to choose 1 it would be the orange 1 for stablility. it depends what you are going to use it for and where you are going to use it. jerry bought the 2.5 kw burner and then bore out to give himself about 8kw i think? i found another 1 on ebay from chaplebaits which they have it up for 39.99gbp
hope this helps
regards

ps if you go into the hints tips section then into cooking equipment there is a posting you might be interseted in in starting with the 7.0kw hot wok kit ;)
-
the high output is a must for me - somewhere around 7 to 8kw.
i too would say a square one is best - u need to be able to put your pan on it comfortably without thinking it might wobble off.
my pan is 8" on the underside. the stove 9" square and being cast iron has a little weight to it which makes it feel solid.
