If you are a caterer or own a restaurant,then you probably can effectively use the 22" wok. I loved the idea of a huge wok, but failed to anticipate the challenges it brings:
1. I couldn't season it in a standard oven. I had to resort to using the burner to season it by turning it. It was a laborious experience.
2. I can't easily clean it in a standard sink. Good thing I'm cooking next to the hose.

Get the 18", or search Amazon for "Wok Shop" and get a 14" or 16".

Just got the this wok delivered. I'm surprised on how thin the metal wall actually is and hope this doesn't affect the product performance. The handles are very poorly attached to the wok so I would not use it to carry the wok with anything heavy on it. Going to cook with it soon and will post a new review.

This wok came as part of a kit with our Big Kahuna outdoor burner. It is very thin and fairly lightweight, which turns out to be a good thing as it makes it easier to handle this huge wok while cleaning. Cooking in this wok is a breeze, the oil heats quickly and the food cooks beautifully. Clean up has been very easy and simple with just soap, water, and a sponge. Clean up only occasionally requires an SOS pad to remove some of the oil e.g. from carmelizing onions; foods do not stick to the wok. The large size makes it very easy to cook, with the only complaint being that it is a little hard to rinse in the kitchen sink due to the wide diameter. For that reason alone, it may be worth it to get the smaller 18" stainless steel wok. Other than that, we couldn't be happier with the 22" stainless steel wok and the Big Kahuna burner! Too bad they don't make a semi-circular drainage rack that fits this size wok.....
