Wok burners are high output gas ranges. Clearly, if you use a wok burner inside, it is a risky affair. But if you really need to use it indoors then please follow safety procedures like well ventilation, keeping a fire extinguisher handy, keeping your kids and elders at a distance from the gas, and a good quality indoor wok burner with automatic shut-off technology, so that when it senses pressure changes or overheating it quickly switch off the gas. Given you are following all the mentioned protocols and safety standards, you can use a wok burner indoors.

Wok cooking needs to be done on very high heat. An outdoor wok burner can produce up to 200k BTU and for an indoor wok burner 10k to 15k BTU heat is safe to use. A regular gas range can produce up to 7k BTU. Clearly, to cook the perfect stir fry, you need a dedicated wok burner for your wok cooking. Read more here.

You need a wok burner that produces at least 100k BTU – 150K BTU heat. If you want to use a wok burner indoors, then 10k BTU – 15K BTU should be the safe choice. Other than that you need a burner that works on butane gas or propane gas, is usually made of high-quality aluminum, and comes with many safety features like automatic shut off, windbreaker, no locking levers, etc. Iwatani offers the best indoor wok burner.

You need around 100k-150k BTU for cooking the perfect stir fry on wok if cooking outside. But inside the kitchen stick between 10k-15k BTU. On low heat, that our normal gas range produces, your stir fry will turn out to be soggy and boiled. That’s why you need a good wok burner to do the job.

As compared to a cheap $20 model, a good quality wok burner from a reputed brand comes with several safety features. No wok burner is completely safe but if you are following the security procedures and using a wok burner that is manufactured with the latest safety standards, you are good.

A dual fuel wok burner can be used with a butane gas canister or you can use the hose to fit in a propane cylinder. This feature makes the wok burner a multitasker.

It depends on how much BTU wok burner you are purchasing. The higher the BTU the hotter it will get. Our regular gas range produces 7k BTU whereas an outdoor wok burner can produce up to 200K BTU.

Indoor wok burners can fit up to an 11-inch pan. In some small wok burners, 9-inch diameter is the limit. Make sure your pan is not touching the gas canister, otherwise it can blast. To use bigger pans, pick a duel fuel wok burner. In that case, the pan will not touch the gas can as you will be able to attach the burner with a propane cylinder.

Yes, you can hook up an indoor wok burner with a regular propane tank given the gas burner is a duel fuel range. If the manufacturer is stating it as both a Butane and Propane gas burner, there is no problem in attaching it with a propane tank.

If you are using the wok burner in the highest heat dial and the highest output of the burner is 15k BTU then the canister of Butane will last you up to 3hrs.

Not all brand offers a warranty. You can check the manual of your indoor wok burner for that or contact the seller. But usually defective parts are covered for one year.

Although indoor wok burners are not meant for simmering but rather for high heat cooking. You can simmer for low-temperature cooking. But it will not give the best performance.

It depends on the quality of the wok burner and the materials used to manufacture it. The best indoor wok burner sold by Iwatani has a very sturdy aluminum body hence compared to a cheap burner it will definitely take heavyweights. For exact details please contact the respective seller.
