Has anyone used this for a wok with a wok ring? Is the carrying case sturdy?

I've never cooked with a wok on the Camp Chef, so I couldn't give a fair answer to that question. Yes the carrying case is sturdy, so long as you don't throw it around, LOL! .....just make sure you close the case completely then you should be OK!

I have not used it with a wok ring. The case arrived with a large crack and corner broken away. Amazon worked to give me a credit for the damage. I used duct tape to keep the case together but I would not call it an especially sturdy case. I always keep it in the case inside another container.

Never used it with a wok. The case is a little on the flimsy side. The stove has to be perfectly seated in the case for it to close. Stove itself is good. They could have spent a few pennies more designing the case and making it a tad sturdier.

This is at least 1/8" thick. It is very sturdy and very well made. I use it for stir fry, pasta dishes, shrimp deep fried. There are many uses for this wok.

I've been using mine for sometime in a shop, with no issues. It woks great.

I own one for two years. Not that bad, as weight is concerned. I'm a female w/o strong wrist, I can handle with one hand. If I do a full wok of heavy stuff, I'll scoop some out first before lift the whole wok. It's iron, no coating, sustain heat much better. It's just healthier way of cooking. My hubby likes the dishes I made out of this wok better. I guess it's because I would be able to fully heat up the oil before stir fry. I don't worry about the coating damage and chemical release due to heating any more.

The bottom is completely rounded so a ring is advisable. The wok does tend to rust a bit in the center bottom if you don't keep it dry and/or oiled but that's what you'd expect from carbon steel and it's easily prevented. It really is a great wok and heats quickly and evenly and you can't beat it at twice the price.

It is quite sturdy. I use it for my crocheting equipment and i would purchase again.

Yes very sturdy. Overall it was a good case. the case just started peeling on me recently after a year. Although, I fly every week so I haven't been the easiest on it.

The ring gives the wok a stable surface on which to sit. The ring also distributes the heat appropriately and from accumulating under the wok--hence the holes in the ring.

This wok is heavy, and to me it's effective to manipulate the wok and clean it with one hand. The wooden handle still in perfect shape after a couple years, I use it on a ceramic stove top. I never had or used a wok with steel handles, so I can't compare.

Very well. Handles our Wagner large fry pans with no problem at all. It's very well built and very sturdy.Oh, it also holds our large cast iron pot for a long day of slow cooking with no worries what so ever.

It's best to use with a WOK. I don't let it touch any water. It will be safe against the metal as it heats. The steam from the water keeps it moist during steaming.

The case is pretty sturdy. It's made of canvas with a snap closure. I usually don't carry them with the case however. Pretty good quality hand irons as well.

i've never not used a wok. It's hard to answer because it fits so nicely with one.

I agree with the other commenter. I just took a look at mine and I would think most lids would fit, if the diameter was similar to the wok.

Good question, Randi. I fill these containers with hard cover books, to the top, and though the cover sometimes bends from the weight when I lift it, it has never come loose. It seems heavy items do put pressure on the lid and handle and I sometimes wondered if it can withstand the weight; I've been lucky so far. But if I drop a case of books, it's a pain, nothing serious; if you drop costly food supplies, though, it cold be costly and messy. These probably will work for you, but be careful about loading too much.

Yes, you need to use pot holders or glofes. The handles are seamlessly cast iron, like the body of the wok.

The wok has a flat base that stis nicely on our older model gas range. It is heavy. So, its weight will help keep it from wobbling. It is the only wok I have ever used that did not require one hand to hold while I was stirring.
