damn. i just gave a spare wok away!!

carbon steel for sure. its lighter so you can do that wok toss thing.
Lid. i like a lid. for steaming..but to be honest - mostly popcorn. but the exaggerated dome of a wok lid makes is a very good steamer.
i like a wok with a post type handle. wok toss. but my stepdad tossed a wok with those tiny helper handles, so this is more of an issue with my splindly hands.
a 14" wok is my sweet spot. cooking for 1-3 people.
i paid $40 for mine off Amazon. the Craftwok version. its fine. not fancy, but it works fine.
