does that wok burner have a pilot light??
that was a "must-have" when I was shopping. I grew up in the Chinese restaurant. I know the woks are fire up, turned off, fired up..all the time. lack of pilot light was a non-starter..(hey, kinda a pun!!!)

I don't think it would be too hard to rig up the same gas control arrangement that a wok stove uses. You could probably source all of the same components.

Great pic as usual and that sounds really good. I have to get frying some fish soon.
Played around with the flame on the burner. When you want it hot, pan gets hot nearly instantly so you can do 30 second bursts of 3/4 flame and then turn it down. Fajitas today with the steak. Love the burner, going to find/make a custom cart for it.

I got it a year ago on Wayfair. Same one here on Walmart.
I am so far impressed with it. Can't wait to make paella, thanks for the reminder. Jambalaya too. Ktaxon 200,000 BTU Propane Single Burner 0-20 PSI Adjustable Regulator Square

Paella pan has been acquired. Not a true pan but I'm going to venture to say better, maybe. Getting a crust on the bottom should be a breeze this 20" and 34 lb of cast iron goodness.

wow. that is a cast iron paella pan!!
mine is carbon steel and is a fickle B. but I like how responsive the heat adjust is..you will need to anticipate your needs more.  (your shallow pan fried chicken game will be able to handle a crowd!)

Saffron ordered, will put together a dinner party next week/end time permitting. Agreed on the heating process, I think the turn on high blast for 20 seconds and turn down for several minutes will work well.
Hadn't thought about fried chicken. Have a Krups deep fryer that I love but this would cook a lot more chicken at once. Limited to 3 thighs for quality frying in the Krups, this could double that. I see Korean fried chicken dinner party in the future too. I could see using both together. Pan for first fry, fryer for high temp second fry.
