I love this thing but I'm going to have to learn how to use it better. My first (and so far only) cook with it was a couple weeks ago. Fresh caught walleye. I didn't get the oil hot enough and the fish just wasn't crispy enough to our liking. I've decided to try pairing this with the gasser kettle so that I don't have to mess with moving the hot pan to add briquettes.

That is a beauty.
Nice- that's the same setup Dazzo uses. I think he's missing the cup too. ;)
I think thats the first up close shot i've seen of the old wok and all i can say is Wow! I had no idea it had the grate tab style attachment hooks to hold it up off the kettle like that. No wonder these things are the grail of accessories.

Yep! And they are compatible with the 18" and 22" kettles

It's a work of art!
Gummi is right. The tabs are made to fit both. Pic of red 18 with wok.

Oil was at about 350, which is pretty easy to get with a medium pile of lump.......
It was totally rusted all over, so blasting was it.....then the season.....

Dale, that one looks grate !!!
Brand new !!! Yeah, go with the gasser......Dazzo uses his to really great effect.....I just have an 18 sitting right there with charcoal burning to keep the heat up while reloading the 22-1/2........it's real easy to jump them back & forth......the clips seems to find their mark easily...............
Here's a few cookups, if that helps....

Great pics and posts. Yes, very helpful. Thanks much for that Buckie.
Yeah, the gasser is the way to go.
It lets you concentrate on the wok cook without worrying about the fire. Although some day I'll try charcoal just for fun.
Use the direct setting, or no baffle.
Get it seasoned and then check out the "Wok Throw down" thread.
You too buckie
I think we'll be doing some pancit again this weekend at the mini meet.
Nice setup by the way. I have that same gasser, sans cup, and cup ring.

That is one clean wok Dale!
I dump a full chimney of lit into a 22.5 and it gets hot and stays hot long enough to cook a full meal.
Not sure what you do, but I wash mine and then wipe the whole thing down with olive oil before it gets hung up for storage.
Did you get the original hand hammered tools too?

The wok was 'NIB' (although the box was pretty tattered so I didn't feel bad about making it a 'cooker'), but no tools came with it.
Thanks for the tips Harbormaster.
What tools does do you all use with the wok?
I've tried SS but find they scratch the seasoning and I've used the weber timber wok tools and ended up burning half of the tools on my first use😡
So I've gone back to SS and put up with the scratches in the seasoning
I have a really nice set of SS, but like you I scratch the seasoning.
Found a nice set of Bamboo...

Maybe I don't get hot enough to burn them.
Here's another one deep from the archives. I'm sure most haven't seen this one.
