I've made a lot of stir fry in my wok, starting to get a real patina going. I'll have to post some pics.

I too have been running the Cen Ro Wok on my outside Propane Burner...I am now turning out restaurant quality stir fry. It really is a great WOK, and I love using it. It is like bam bam bam and your done in about 5 to 10 minutes. Everything needs to be prepped ahead of time and ready to go NOW.
After each use I use a natural fiber brush and water to wash out the Wok after which I heat it on the stove to dry and then put a teaspoon of Lard to re lubricate. Using a paper towel to soak up the excess. Recently I found a Helen Chen cast iron WOK for $8.00 at a Thrift. I took one of my Chinese carbon steel flat bottoms back to the Thrift and sold off an Atlas Spinning Co WOK from SF. I just didn't need all those Woks. The cast Iron works well on a low btu gas burner, because it holds the heat. So when the weather turns too cold to WOK outside I have an alternate means.

Aaron who got the woks for us was here a month ago. We had a good time for a day and a half. He loved having real lobster. He was also amazed at how the clean the air is here. Both West Coast and Boston.

I got this email just now. If anyone has an extra wok they want to sell, PM me and I'll give you his email address. I'm keeping my 2
Hello, I came accross an old pelican thread discussing the cen brothers wok journey where several works were acquired. I realize this was a few years ago and I am very late to the game. I would like to know if anyone still had an extra wok and would they be interested in selling it? I am a retired chef and a purest I developed a love for stirfry and been making it with inferior tools quite a long time. I don't fly so traveling to get a wok has always been out of the question. I'm not a pelican parts member, I simply stumbled onto the thread and desperately want to find myself a cen wok for wok cooking. Thank you for taking the time to read my email and please have a wonderful weekend. Kindest regards Cris

I'm still enjoying mine! Last I saw on Ebay they were going for $400-500. There is a FB page "Wok Wednesdays" where I've seen some people who own a few, he might check there.
Also this guy on Etsy seems pretty popular..... https://www.etsy.com/listing/607288194/carbon-steel-wok-hand-hammered-cookware?ref=shop_home_active_9&frs=1
