Wok on the weber grills

[Jonas-Switzerland]

I love this forum. It will be the death of my yard space, but I love it.

I've been thinking that I do not really want a grill outside. I want an outdoor kitchen! What do I want to do in my outdoor kitchen? Well, one big thing woukd be stir frying with a wok. There are recipes I don't try, because they are too dirty to do inside.

Weber grills are advertised with being compatible with round bottom woks.

I believe a weber kettle can easily produce enough heat. But I doubt a spirit series has its flames concentrated enough. Has anybody tried hot frying/stir frying on a gas or kettle grill?

 

[Jeff Boudman]

I got my kettle up 550’ last week before I started closing the vents. That should be hot enough for stir fry.

I have numerous posts on this subject, I use the Vortex under the Wok & can get temps in the 600-700 degree range.

Here’s my setup, plow disc over top of the Vortex. Works great!

In addition to Eric and Duane, I, too, like to wok on the grill!

Wok on the Wild Side!

Told my partner that we may need a kettle. She was skeptical

I've had a kettle of some sort since 1982.

Is there a market for used Kettle's in Switzerland? If you can pick one up used for a small amount of money its worth it. If you were closer I'd give you one that I collected for free. edit: the suggestion for trying a used one is to see if you like it without spending too much money.

A warning though. A risk of getting a kettle is your gas grill may get lonely.

Just get a Performer and be done with it, they have the grates that hold a Wok, no stand needed.

I’ve been using my Blackstone for cooking stir fry.
It’s good and all that but I just think getting a wok pan and using my performer would be stepping up my game.

I’m not sure which wok pan to get.
Do you guys/gals have a preference?
Duane that plow disc looks awesome are those available?

I bought it from Agri Supply, I really like it, very heavy duty. Price has gone up considerably since I got mine

BBQ Dish Disc Blade, 22

Agri Supply carries the Carolina Cooker BBQ Disc Blade, sometimes called a discada or cowboy wok. The 22 inch steel surface is great for use outside.

I like a carbon steel wok myself. That is what I have. It's huge and a bit unwieldly but it sure does cook nicely

 

[DanHoo]

I had this bookmarked.

I'm thinking about getting a wok, any good input will be appreciated. Probably a flat bottom would be easier to use? I have a gas stove and my Weber charcoal burners.

I bought a lite cast iron from Walmart, it works well, Imusa 14"

I have the Imusa 14" in carbon steel, works like a charm on my kettle.

I own a few different ones, Andy. My favorite is this one. I've used it on the grill a few times with zero impact on the handle.
