Would be nice if we could unfuck the US, also if we could take a bit of money from the military to get heat pumps and induction stoves, and just skip the gas

I agree on the gas for health reasons.

I really want an outdoor wok burner, because my induction stove just doesn't get hot enough. I'm used to working with a professional stove that will go up to 700° F. The induction stove won't get my wok above 500° F.

It’s expensive and not available yet, but this might do it: https://www.impulselabs.com/

It has a built in battery so it can have a higher peak power output without upgrading your electricity supply.

I have questions. They specifically say that once available it will run on a 120w or standard outlet, or low power 220w outlet. I don't know that it would be possible to hit 700° F without a high power 220 outlet.

It charges its internal battery from whatever supply you have over the course of a day, then when you are cooking it can operate off the battery alone. So it doesn’t really matter how good your supply is because most home users won’t be cooking all day, so it will charge its battery slowly.

It has a 3kwh battery, I’m not sure how powerful the inverter is and it depends on supply but it might take an hour or two to charge from flat.

But it probably couldn’t maintain 700F for an extended period of time. I guess most people won’t need that heat for a long time.

They make a standalone induction burner specifically for a wok (mine came with a wok, but the one I already had works). It's nice because you don't have to use a flat bottom one, but it still maxes out at like 550°.
