Mine always worked fine on the electric stove, but I can't figure out
how to not be annoyed with it on gas. If I put the ring on top of the
grate, too much heat is lost and all it does is balance the wok. If I
remove the grate, the wok sits on whatever that metal thing is called
and the wok ring doesn't seem like it's doing anything.

True and I find myself using my skillets instead of the wok. I need
more room on the pot rack and I'm at the point where I'm questioning
why I still hang on to it.
