Here are some pictures of a handy b-b-q addition. It turns out that a 16" wok just fits perfectly into a Webber b-b-q if the handles are cut off and re-welded in the vertical position. This makes it easy to transport if you are already carrying a Webber.
The wok was obtained from http://www.wokshop.com/HTML/products/woks/woks_ci_china.html
and was under $20. Watchout! The handles must be re-oriented for it to fit into the Webber.
If you are feeding a large group, a wok based dinner is really the way to go. A great deal of food can be prepared at one time.
First picture shows wok in the b-b-que. Heat supplied by charcoals but could be wood as smoke doesn't matter. After the food cooks it can be kept warm by lifting the wok from the b-b-que, placing the usual b-b-q grill and then setting the wok back down. We also carry a square vegetable tray designed for grilling veggies on a b-b-que (last pic). It turns out to be just the right size to set the wok in for stability when dispensing food.
Second and third pictures show wok used on a stove. The stove in use is a little larger than the usual camping stove and was selected due to its immense heat capacity. Good for a wok but mostly selected to heat shower water quickly. Last pics are a different dinner.
We've made many meals. You see in the first pic meat strips being grilled for tacos. Next two show more mundane hot dogs. We simply poured chili over the dogs after they browned. In a minute or two everything was warm. Quick and easy. Last two are a sausage, chicken, left-over steak cube stir-fried with peppers main course which we placed on dry noodles. Bacon comes out great as do scrambled eggs. Ground beef for tacos or sloppy joes. Whatever needs browning works great.
After dinner the wok is filled with warm (over the b-b-q coals) dish water, and becomes a sink for washing up. The best thing about a cast iron wok is the worse you treat it the better it works. Heat transfer is really good and nothing sticks if you prep it with a burned-fat patina. The wok is actually quite thin and very light which helps my already too burdened Jeep's gas mileage a little.
After dinner the wok is lifted out and wood tossed in. The burning coals light it and we've a camp fire. Controllable since the Webber lid can be placed on at any time. Better heat radiation than a ground fire so we save on precious wood (no space to carry much). It's hard to tell in the pics but we've cut up the normal Webber stand, tossing the wheels and cutting the legs in half. In the morning it's all burned out and we can pour the ash into a trash bag and pack it out. \
