For this reason (liquid accumulation) I have all but given up on wok
cooking. My biggest burner is also 12,000 BTU and it isn't even close to
heating the wok hot enough. As I mentioned in my origianl post, I have
considered getting a turkey frying to use with my wok. I keep looking for
one on deep clearance that has the pot missing. I wouldn't be afraid of
using the burning with the wok on my deck which is right outside my kitchen.
It wouldn't be at all inconvenient except when it is raining or snowing.
