This product is everything you need an outdoor wok to be. Easily cooks for 8 people. It is fun to cook near the table and be part of the party. It provides the high heat necessary to make the flash cooked, crisp and tender vegetables in Chinese stir-fry cooking. We cook one dish right after another with ease. It is a real joy to use this wok. I wish I had one in my kitchen. We keep it on the lania and use it everyday.

The unit operates well and makes excellent stir-fry. The "manual" however is confusing, and the illustrations don't match the parts sent. Had to call them to get accurate assembly instructions. Inconsiderate to customers, that.

I got this specifically for stir frying. My wife likes the taste of stir frys but didn't like the smoke created by indoor high temperature stir frying. The King Kooker improved the taste further with even higher temperatures and moved the smoke outside. Nice simple, relatively inexpensive solution.

The unit i received not the same as the picture shown, the wind guard is haft the height of what show on the picture. Not easy put it together. i did some test cooking, the gas head is about 10 inches away from the bottom of the wok and low wind guard, it will not heat wok to high temperature, little breeze would stop cooking completely.

Not for outdoor cooking. don't buy it.

While the heat blast on this thing is impressive, the frame for the cooker is just so-so. But, at ~$85 it's well worth the money. I made Pad Thai in ~5 minutes and some killer stir-fry in less than 8 minutes. I love this thing but do with the frame were a bit more substantial If you want to use "smaller" pots for the device (clearly it was made to use the wok and not much else), get the grill grate for the small Weber grill (the table top size); it fits perfectly and can support all size saucepans. But, be forewarned: the handle will get REALLY hot!

This is an excellent product. The best value on Amazon. Took about 1 hour to put it all together and get it set up in the outdoor kitchen. Fried rice and Teriyaki chicken for dinner this evening. Great carbon steel Wok.

worked ok for awhile, then gas flame much lower, not sure if problem w regulator or blocked hose. Then I got a real outdoor wok stove from wokshop in SF. Completely different experience--a real wok stove, only $89, works incredibly, self igniting, good burner control, excellent heat distribution (the king cooker seemed to only heat one circular area of the wok very high, the wokstove I found at the wokshop heats the whole wok evenly.

They shipped a different item than what is pictured. Instead I received the 18" Bolt Together Portable Propane Outdoor Cooker (which they also sell alone)... and they threw in a wok and accessories. On top of that, there were just bolts, and no nuts that came with the cooker so I had to buy my own from the hardware store. So basically, i received the wrong item... and it was also missing pieces.

Easy to use, plenty hot enough to do Chinese dishes. The wok is big for those who enjoy eating a veggies. We've had fun eating the dishes this summer.

very disappointing product for a multitude of reasons:

- height of the product is stupid, just over knee-height, i.e. too tall to put on a table, way too low to have on the ground. Subsequently, the gas bottle does not fit below the burner and has to stand on the side. HELLO - does the guy who designs this thing actually tries the product? How much more expensive would it be to make it a bit taller?

- assembly instructions are pathetically bad, makes every China-made product look excellent (the King Cooker claims to be US made): no step by step instructions, one single unconclusive picture

- Product that shipped is different that product on the picture, wind-guard is about 3" tall only. (This metal ring (it is not a windguard) clearly was not made for the product as hole for gas pipe does not fit for burner
