You need a burner that sounds like a jet engine to achieve 镬气 , wok hei "breath of the wok"
Watching some really talented Chinese Chef is like watching performance art, The heat control for the burner is usually controlled by the knee, and often the heat is kept at afterburner levels, and the wok is moved nearer and further from the heat as needed...

Thanks Tim, I'll check out a few of the local Asian markets.
My stove burns propane and it gets hotter than natural gas, so I may be in luck there. I can get the grate to glow easily.
