Product Description
Who says you can't enjoy your favorite stir-fry dish on the grill? Instead of cooking indoors, cook out using this wok. It's made of cast iron so it heats up evenly and stays hot for those flash-fry meals. Create an all-veggie dish or add something creative to the mix like barbecue chicken or marinated prawns. Two side handles are wide, offering enough room for grabbing even with cooking mitts on. Flat-bottomed, however not recommended for ceramic-top stoves.
Amazon.com Review
Much heavier than traditional steel woks, this solid cast-iron wok absorbs and retains heat at the high temperatures needed for superior stir-fry cooking. A flat bottom sits the wok securely on a stovetop, gas grill, or charcoal grill, while two loop handles allow for safe lifting with oven mitts. The wok measures 14 inches in diameter (17 inches with handles), and 4 inches deep--generous enough for a family-size meal. The wok must be seasoned before first use to create a nonstick patina that also helps prevent rusting. After washing, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat the wok for one hour. While the wok can be seasoned on a grill, an oven works best. Instructions for the seasoning process are included with the wok. After subsequent use, the wok should be washed by hand and dried before storing. Mr. Bar-B-Q covers the wok with a five-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Great wok October 24, 2008
I read all the warnings about broken woks, but I ordered anyway. Sure enough, it arrived at my door in two big pieces. However, Amazon is run the way you wish all companies were run. In less than 15 minutes I had the thing boxed up and labeled for a free trip back to Amazon. By the end of the week, I had my new wok, in one piece. That's service!
I had a devil of a time getting the factory coating off the thing. I ended up burning the heck out it in my outdoor BBQ. I highly recommend that method btw. Then I washed it thoroughly, and boiled water in it to really clean it up. Now it's on it's way to being well-seasoned.
This thing is a really big chunk of cast iron and it gets HOT, which is great for stir-frying. I'd give it a five, except that it's not perfectly round on the bottom, though it's very close. But for the price, I'm very happy with it.
 Best Wok I Own October 7, 2008
This Wok is one of the top 5 items in my kitchen - fabulous! No problems with shipping, cleaning, or seasoning! Chow
Great Wok October 6, 2008
I love the cast iron wok. It cleans up easily and cooks like a dream.
Still a wok in progress September 23, 2008
I really like this wok, but it's going to take a while to get it to the seasoning stage I want and keep it there. It sure beats the old, thin metal wok I used for years.
Nice wok, bad packaging September 5, 2008
First wok arrived broken into 3 pieces. This is actually the second cast iron object that UPS managed to shatter into pieces on me, the first being a subwoofer with a cast iron basket. You know how Amazon always totally overdoes it on the packaging, with a box 3 times bigger than the item and stuffed full of air bags? Well, these woks seem to have been packaged by a kid.. the wok is thrown into a box barely big enough for it, atop of some crumpled paper. I dont get it.
Second wok arrived packed the same way, but not broken. Seasoned well, cooked well. Only used it once but it seems really nice. Bottom is flat for stability but curved inside so holds heat nicely. You will definitely want a big flame for this, I am using the Bayou Classic propane burner I bought on Amazon a year ago. So for the money, this is a really great wok, just dont be surprised if it arrives broken.
