Ordered the 18" version from southwestdisk.com and the burner from Amazon.  Of course they arrived as I was getting ready to move so hadn't had a chance to use it until last weekend.  Looking forward to using it out on trips one of these days.

These Tembo Tusks are $275!!  Why not just put a small wok on a Coleman Bottle Top Propane Stove or some other heat source? A lot cheaper.

These look promising and more versatile for taking in a pop-up camper. https://www.volcanogrills.com/

Can use wood, charcoal, propane fuels, and wok, Dutch oven, grill or griddle. Don’t have one but am considering one.

I got one of the Cobb grills but found it oversold what one can do with 8 charcoal briquettes plus it was difficult to clean when camping. In fairness, after having to borrow a grill to complete cooking chicken dinner the first time, I have not invested much time in trying to “master” its use.

With the price of those trendy overland products I'd try the tried and true budget version first.

 

I have one of those Coleman single burners and a two burner stove. Never needed more but I'm usually only cooking for 1-4 at the most. With 4 being few and far between. I recently discovered Trangia alcohol stoves and they are quite addicting. On my recent trip to Death Valley the wind was blowing hard and with the minimal windbreak of a truck tire I heated precooked burgers on the Trangia and had a great lunch without having to break out my whole camp kitchen set up.

There are indeed many ways to cook and many choices for stoves, etc. I'm not to sure I would trust myself with a wok with boiling hot oil atop that Coleman burner, especially since wok cooking usually involves a lot of action with a wok spatula, stirring everything and flipping ingredients in the hot oil. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen but to each his own. That's what I like about the Southwest setup, pictured above on its tripod burner. It is sturdy, and you can really "work it" with a proper spatula. And, in addition, the tripod can be setup away from the picnic table where a camp chef can flail about with impunity. YMMV

Awesome! I love my wok & use it almost every day. 1st off, season it.

Now for recipes, have a look at the recipes in these links, I'm sure you'll find something you & your family will like.

You're not limited to cooking just Asian food in your wok, I've made fish & chips, beef stroganoff, various soups, pastas and even doughnuts. The wok & stir-frying techniques are so versatile, you can easily adapt many recipes to the wok. Just keep it seasoned & oiled, the woks I've used tend to rust easily if you don't.

Same here.  We bought a 22” and love it.  Is your disk stable on that stove?

[greenheadsmt]

I feel very comfy with our disc on the power stove.

How much does the powerstove weigh?  I'm considering the Partner Steel Blaster but 120K BTU is way too much for my needs and this seems perfect.
