My solution was to buy a wok burner. Available online or at Asian restaurant supply stores, they come in propane and natural gas models. My particular one is rated at 130k BTUs. I never take it that high though.

There also exist induction wok burners. They are fitted to round bottom woks. I have no experience with them and assume they are expensive.

Curious how those would work. 100-150k BTUs would be 30k-41k watts, which is a) dramatically more than any of the ones I've seen out there, and b) would presumably deform a carbon steel wok pretty badly? Not sure.

The math definitely isn't as linear as I'd like to be, so I'm super curious to hear how well it works in the real world. Best of luck!
