I just made the change in the post. Sorry if I mislead you. It's STILL powerful because the heat is focused in the center (perfect for 15" wok) vs the wide burner on most residential stoves. Plus there's a limitation on how much "oompf" you can get from the gas company.

Wow, you're very observant. You're absolutely RIGHT, Iwatani swapped out the 10,000 for a 20,000! Serious heat. Need to change my website to reflect this, thnx for reminder.

I know it's all about the btus so, what should he do? I'm like a little kid this year. I can't wait for Santa to come. I really, really was a good girl and I want my wok star kit and my honkin' butane stove!<br /><br Marilyn Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578009759145511888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027082182211175110.post-88607605334275268582009-11-22T00:18:34.757-05:002009-11-22T00:18:34.757-05:00Thanks for sharing your Taiwan experience Katy.

But your comments about American food chains adapt to Chinese culture - the McDonald's in Taiwan do stuff like Rice Burger and etc, basically rolled in rice instead of buns - a variation of Sushi perhpas! They also do deseserts that suit the locals. I think some of them also use sweet potato instead of potato as an option.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246933986145917300noreply@blogger.com
