Building a Wok Burner on a Budget

[Leon]

Hello everyone. Newbie here with another exciting thread (sigh). With a low budget of less than $300, I had a hard time hunting for a decent wok burner/table for outdoor, backyard use. The ones I really liked costs at least $800. So with some hard labor, and few hours of playing with mortar mixes, I built a stand for my burner. If you've done something similar in the past, I would like to hear it.

The wok ring is built for an APW hot plate, but it fits nicely on my setup.

This burner is from an old wok burner I bought from outdoorstirfy. Only 50,000 BTU but it will work for now. If I need more BTU's, it can easily be swapped with another burner from my Bayou SP10.

All I need to do is to drill a hole for the LP gas line and few holes for ventilation and I'm good to go.

Out of curiosity, what was your objection to the Big Kahuna? (I'm biased, of course, since that's what I have, but it's got plenty of power for my needs)

I think the Kahuna is great for a portable burner. I've read plenty of good reviews about it. I'm more into wok rings that you see in the kitchens of Chinese restaurants. I think it is more stable for a wok to sit inside rather than sitting on top of the ring.
