The wok burner isn't always in the middle on the 5 burner cook tops. The
one we had, the wok burner was on the bottom right, which meant it was easy
to control the work. The burners were arranged with 2 on the right and 2 on
the left, with a long burner (for fish kettles, long griddles etc) down the
middle.

We have moved and have gone back to 4 burners and I really miss the space
that came with 5 burners - it's impossible to have 2 large pots or pans side
by side now. I can see a kitchen remodelling coming on!
