Does this have an igniter? Do I need a wok ring? Do you remove the 3 sides to cook with a wok?

It has no ignite, you need a lighter to fire it. It works with flat bottom wok, not the ball shape bottom wok. You need a ring for a ball shape bottom wok. My wok is 12+ inch, I don't need to remove the 3 sides. The 3 sides will not block strong wind. I hope this helps.

No igniter and you would probably need to remove the sides to cook with a wok. Shouldn't be a problem, though.

There is no igniter. A $3 lighter is perfect. Wok Ring? Not really. This unit puts out some BTU's, a wok ring would keep it up from the flames. The three sides come right off. You should not need to take them off as the burner area is large. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. Just used it again tonight. I have bought three woks, one for me , 2 for gifts. Love it, love it, love it!

Sorry this is so late, I just got it. I would say no. I once bought a new ceramic stove it said not to use copper bottom and there was something aboutthe wok and wok ring that I thought I could not safely use it. I bought an electric wok and stopped using my Norpro. Now a decade plus later I am livingwhere I have a gas stove again and I bought the Norpro 10 piece wok set again this time from Amazon.

You have to Ignight the stove via match or lighter, no internal ignition system present

No, this wok doesn't smoke, but be sure you're using peanut oil or the equivalent. The wok needs to get very hot sometimes (depending on the recipe you're using) and corn oil or butter literally can't stand the heat, and will definitely smoke, I'm sure.

The BEW600XL Hot Wok™ is not designed to be heated until the oil smokes. As such, unless food is burned there should be no smoke coming from the wok.

All good questions. Yes, it is a bit unstable. Not only three legs, but the quality of the base structure isn't the best. No igniter at all, you have to crack the propane open and light it manually. I use a LONG BBQ lighter. Yes, your Coleman hose will work. Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't have a piezo igniter but you can buy a universal type igniter that you can install yourself or use a butane lighter with a long neck designed for bbqs. I currently use a butane on mine but they do make handheld piezo lighters that don't use butane or other gas. I'm still doing some research on this but so far I'm not impressed with what's out there in terms of quality or price. A butane lighter does work great. There's a hole in the side where you can insert the lighter and I've found it easy enough. The upside is that not having an igniter means one less thing to go wrong.

I have a gas stove but I would assume "a heat source" is all you need. Just keep it on the burner surface. The Wok gets very hot. Good luck.

In my opinion, flat bottom Woks are the best with any kind of cooking source. A round bottom Wok requires a ring to cook on whereas a flat bottom Wok does not. My preference would always be a flat bottom (5-6 inches) and a gas cooking stove.

The ring keeps the wok from resting on top of the burner or stove top, eliminating concentrated hot spots on the wok bottom by creating a bit of air space. Ring can be used small diameter up (more space) or small diameter down (less air space). I usually do small diameter up. Hope that helps.

I'm pretty sure it will work with a wok given my experience over the holidays. My companion has a wok-like skillet (flat-base over the burner but sloping sides rising from the base) and it worked fine when we twice made fried oysters. As noted in my review, I had some doubts over whether it would work with this sloping skillet but the sliding clip performed just fine, holding the thermometer just where we needed it.

I have not but BE AWARE THE HANDLE GETS AS HOT AS THE WOK AND IT IS HEAVY ....I would not have purchased it due to the burn hazard

Yes. You will likely have to remove the grate and use a wok ring in it's place. Having said that, many stove manufacturers sell wok rings specific to your stove. This is almost always a better option if they do make one as the fit is perfect.

Yes, mine came with a wok ring. You should also be able to email vendor to verify as well.

Yes. The sides are curved like a wok, but it has a nice flat bottom, which I beleive is necessary for an induction cook top.
