In a fast-paced commercial kitchen, efficiency and precision are everything. Whether you’re stir-frying, deep-frying, or simmering sauces, the wok burner is one of the most essential pieces of equipment you’ll ever own. With the right wok burner, your chefs can create consistent, high-quality dishes with speed and control — a must for busy restaurants, cafés, and catering venues.
At Hospitality Connect, we supply a wide selection of premium wok burners from leading brands such as Black Series and K+ Cobra, built to meet the demands of modern Australian kitchens. From compact single-burner units to heavy-duty multi-ring systems, we’ll help you find the perfect fit for your business.
What Is a Wok?
A wok is a versatile, round-bottomed cooking pan traditionally used in Asian cuisine. Its sloped sides allow for fast, even heat distribution, making it ideal for stir-frying, searing, and deep-frying.
Modern commercial kitchens use high-powered wok burners designed to handle this demanding style of cooking — reaching extremely high temperatures for rapid, flavourful results.
6 Key Factors When Choosing a Commercial Wok Burner
Size and Compatibility
Choosing the right size is crucial. Measure the diameter of your wok and ensure it matches your burner’s ring. Common commercial wok burner rings are 14-inch or 18-inch.
When in doubt, choose a slightly larger size — it’s better to have more heat coverage than not enough.
Black Series wok burners are designed with universal tops, allowing for both small and large woks, while K+ Cobra wok ranges feature ergonomic stainless steel frames suitable for heavy-duty commercial use.
BTU Rating (Power and Performance)
Heat is everything in wok cooking. To achieve the signature sear and smoky flavour (“wok hei”), your burner must reach high BTU levels — typically between 90,000 and 120,000 BTUs for commercial use.
-
Standard stovetops: 10,000–20,000 BTUs
-
Commercial wok burners: 30,000–150,000 BTUs
A higher BTU means faster heating and better performance during peak service hours. Both Black Series and K+ Cobra wok burners deliver exceptional heat output for professional-grade results.
Fuel Type: Gas or Propane?
Decide between natural gas and propane (LPG):
-
Natural Gas: Cost-effective long-term and ideal for fixed commercial kitchens connected to a gas line.
-
Propane (LPG): Portable and perfect for mobile catering, events, or food stalls.
Black Series wok burners offer both gas types for flexibility in installation and use.
Types of Wok Burners
Commercial wok burners come in several designs depending on your kitchen’s workflow:
-
Single or Double Burner Ranges: Ideal for restaurants serving multiple stir-fried dishes.
-
Bench-Top or Portable Wok Burners: Perfect for smaller kitchens or catering setups.
-
High-Pressure Units: For high-heat Asian cuisine that requires quick searing and flash cooking.
K+ Cobra wok ranges combine precision controls, removable burner rings, and stainless steel bodies for easy cleaning and long-lasting performance — a popular choice among chefs across Australia.
Wok Accessories and Add-Ons
Optimise your wok setup with essential accessories designed to boost performance and efficiency:
-
Wok Rings: Stabilise round-bottomed woks on flat surfaces.
-
Wok Tops: Replacement components for universal cooktops.
-
Wok Brushes: Maintain your wok’s seasoning and cleanliness.
-
Wok Lids: Trap heat and moisture during simmering or steaming.
-
Wok Bases: Create portable wok cooking stations for events.
Black Series wok stations are compatible with a wide range of accessories to enhance usability, while K+ Cobra’s modular systems allow seamless integration with other kitchen equipment like fryers, benches, and chargrills.
