I have found a very good alternative to a wok burner.
To make some curries you need to get a good high flame all around the wok and this is hard to achieve when using a conventional gas hob.
The Spanish use them to make their paellas, but I have found it is great for wok cooking.
There is a link to one here http://www.eatpaella.co.uk/350mm-gas-burner-12-p.asp
If you are considering purchasing one of these I would recommend trying them out first to ensure that your wok fits correctly as there are many different variations out there and some of them don't support a wok very well.
The one that I use has two rings which can be separately controlled so the heat can be turned up really high when you need it.
They are supposed to be used for outdoor use, but a friend of mine has set his up in the kitchen. If you do use one indoors I would recommend placing them on a fire resistant surface as they do through a lot of heat out from below.
