The best product I've found that has the high output and is specifically made for wok cooking (so it can handle round bottom woks) is the PowerFlamer from OutdoorStirFry.com. I love the fact that you get serious power for a decent price. After all, you can always turn down the heat if you want, but if you have a wimpy burner, you just can't turn it up more!

I've been thinking of getting one but have been considering nonstick instead because I could see my somewhat-germ-phobic partner being concerned that a seasoned wok is not scrubbed really well (this is the guy whose comment on wooden and bamboo cooking utensils is something like "wow, way to have something porous that'll hold onto germs!). Is it possible that the patina could hold germs? How clean does a seasoned wok get?

I keep scrubbing it and scrubbing it... but whenever I wipe its surface with a wet paper towel, a bunch of black grease still comes off. What am I doing wrong?
