Been looking for a good quality, flat bottom, coating-free, thick carbon steel wok (as recommended on many review sites for home woking). Every wok matching these features was either sold by third-party sellers or required expensive shipping. Finally came across this item on sale today with free shipping and it appears to be exactly what I wanted: reviewers in the comments report it is constructed out of 14 gauge carbon steel and the wood handle can be removed when oven seasoning.

Description:
Our exclusive carbon-steel wok is perfect for stir-frying meats and veggies, deep-frying tempura, steaming with bamboo inserts and more. Traditional carbon-steel construction ensures quick, efficient heating and exceptional heat transfer in a light, easy to maneuver pan. Wok features a sturdy maple handle for easy, safe stirring and flipping and a flat bottom for even results on a variety of cooking surfaces. Safe for use with metal utensils. Carbon steel will rust if not properly seasoned and stored.
  • Suitable for gas, electric, ceramic and induction stovetops
  • Carbon steel heats quickly and efficiently, and is perfect for high-heat cooking
  • Manufacturer: Sur La Table
  • Material: Carbon steel
  • Dimensions: 14" diameter
  • Made in Taiwan

$7 savings...not that big of a discount
For reference, the only other comparable woks I could find were:

Origins K Wok, 14", Black
$30.46
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JLWU8A
*uses plastic handle that can't be removed (prevents oven seasoning).

Joyce Chen Flat Bottom Wok, Standard, Metal
Sold Out, normally runs around $35
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0001VQIP4
*removable plastic handle, attached with 2 rivets (vs 3 on this model).

Carbon Steel Wok With Metal Side Handle
$39.95 plus $25 (!!!) shipping inside the continental U.S.
https://www.wokshop.com/newstore/...de-handle/
*this would be my ideal design, featuring removable wood handle and welded (rivet-free) attachments, but no way in hell am I paying $25 for shipping. laugh out loud
It's my understanding that all carbon steel woks will develop a dark, non-stick coating after being properly seasoned.

Quote from LivelyMusic493 :
well, it's debated whether one can wok properly at all without a 100k BTU flame. nevertheless, people still wok on their relatively low heat gas/electric stoves. most of the wok review/roundup articles that I've come across recommend a thick (14 gauge) flat bottomed carbon steel wok as the best option for electric ranges, properly seasoned of course. whether the results are satisfying depends on your own taste, but the reviewers seemed to suggest that with the right wok electric ranges are sufficient.

You don't need 100K BTU to combust oil. You can get wok hei at 75K BTU and probably a bit lower than that.

Good find. In 4 1. This will be a good wok to replace my 12' wok.
Thank you.

non-stick coatings will eventually degrade or flake off into your food, no matter how well you treat it, especially at wok temperatures.

for the electric range users, one other tip I came across is to wok with smaller food portions if possible. you want to cook at the highest temp possible but dumping too much food in at once will cause a big drop and most of the cooking will be done by steam.

I hate having an electric range...

Get a removable gas burner for $80 and put on top of your electric range. Use propane and save on electricity.

Exactly, it's not a real wok if it's non-stick.

Thanks OP, ordered one. Wish it was made in the US but at least it's Taiwan.

I've thought of doing this, but then I'm reminded of everything that could go wrong. LMAO
