Got a Thai charcoal cooker
While picking up a 20" wok at The Wok Shop to use in my XL BGE, I found this Thai charcoal cooker:
I'd seen a similar cooker earlier in some posts elsewhere by Brethren member Woodmonkey and he recommended them for wok cooking. When I saw this cooker in person I had to get it. I've been having fun with it and with some different recipes! I tried my 12" wok on it with K briquettes and found the heat a little lacking (even after removing the insert to allow more air in under the Wok): Experimented using some hanging tender(hanger steak) meat instead of flank (won't do this again - too tender & texture didn't seem right): Put my 10" CI grate from my Mini BGE onto the cooker & seared the last of the hanging tender: We enjoyed the grilled hangar steak with the meal: I've found lump burns hotter in the cooker and have no problems keeping my. 16" wok hot: Chicken, shallots, fermented black bean sauce, & asparagus: This was cooked in 2 batches to avoid overloading the wok & combined at the end: To shut it down & save an unused lump, I put the cooker into the XL BGE and close it up. The cooker has worked out great so far, especially for some mid-week quick cooks. Thx for looking!

That looks like a great piece of kit for cooking but not heating up the kitchen, especially in the summer time (not to mention all the smoke and smells that go along with it)!

I saw that on the wokshop.com website and it looked very interesting. Thanks for the report. I need many more BTUs than I can get on my LP kitchen range top.
Tane has suggested a 32,000 BTU portable wok burner that they carry, but that looks very good too.

That is cool! I gave up using the wok on my glass top electric stove. Tried the side burner on my gasser, but still not enough heat. That cooker would do wonderfully. I will have to keep my eyes open for one.

Very cool! Where did you find it, and can I ask how much it was?
