Outdoor Cooking - Stop smelling your house up!!!

Cooking anything at high heat inside is very likely to set off smoke detectors and make your house smell bad. If you have tried to use a Wok inside you know that it simply doesn't work; Stove burners don't produce nearly enough heat even if you have a fancy pro-style range. I have tried putting a skillet on a propane grill or on a burner that is part of my Weber grill. The results were disappointing; There isn't nearly enough heat to get the job done. I have found the solution, and it is soooo good! A burner like the one below puts out 59,000 btu which is about 3 x what a stove puts out.  It isn't expensive and will quickly pay for itself! How is this possible? As soon as you try Korean fried chicken. You will eat at home instead of going out to dinner on several occasions. You will not get more flavorful tacos anywhere!

 The stand is very sturdy and it is easy to use. It hooks up to a standard propane tank for grills. 

I use a Wok ring like this.

I might modify it to make it a bit more stable like this Improve Wok Ring

Searing scallops, frying chicken or fish, and getting a great crust on steaks is easy; AND IT DOESN"T SMELL YOUR HOUSE UP! An iron skillet is perfect for this.
