Wok Burners

Choosing the Right Commercial Wok Burner

Chimney vs Duckbill Burner

A chimney burner produces a tight upward flame ideal for stir-frying and achieving wok hei. A duckbill burner spreads heat wider, better suited for stockpots, broths, and soups. Most Asian restaurant kitchens run at least one of each.

Consider MJ Output

Standard commercial cooktops produce around 28 MJ/h per burner, which is not enough for proper wok cooking. A commercial wok burner should output at least 90 MJ/h. High-volume kitchens typically need 120 to 180 MJ/h to maintain heat recovery through a continuous service.

Choose Between LPG vs Natural Gas Wok Burner

Most models are available in both LPG and natural gas configurations. LPG suits kitchens without mains gas access. Natural gas is a practical choice where a mains connection exists and is generally cheaper to run long term. Always confirm your gas type before ordering.

Heavy-duty Wok Stoves For Chinese & Asian Restaurants

Chinese and Asian restaurants are the primary users of commercial wok burners. A stir-fry focused menu cannot be properly executed on a standard commercial cooktop because the heat output simply is not high enough. Vietnamese restaurants, Thai kitchens, Malaysian and Sichuan restaurants, and any venue with a wok-cooked menu need a dedicated high-output wok burner as the centrepiece of their kitchen.

Takeaway shops and noodle bars rely on wok burners to cook quickly and consistently through a busy service. Food courts and Asian food stalls at markets and events also commonly use portable or bench-mounted wok burner setups. Hotel kitchens running Asian banquet menus and catering companies cooking for large events are also regular buyers of commercial wok burners in Australia.
