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.

That has a non-stick interior. High heat and non-stick coatings do not mix.
It will also kill some pets, like birds. The fumes are more toxic for animals than humans.

Thanks. I have an electric range. I love wok food. Is this wok a good choice for that?

They have flat bottom woks that work better on electric, but I have used a regular one like this on an electric it's just hard. Season your wok before you use it rub it with olive oil or whatever oil and bake it in.

Did you even bother to check the product page? It's answered there, not to mention several times in this thread..

Got a hexclad wok, for non stick wok cooking purposes, and don't suggest using it on high heat. I know... I know... different price range, but something to consider. if you want a non stick wok. Tired of throwing out the lower end non stick pans every year. Hope this Hexclad lasts. Costco sells them too.

does it have 14 gauge cs, flat bottom & detachable handle? do they ship?
yes, yes and yes (limited distance by the store or whatever instacart does). it's exactly like the one in the picture here without any marking or label except a sticker at the bottom listing details of the cs wok itself and MIT

up until last year, it also came with free cs wok cover as well, but they dropped the free cover pairing after covid lock down

even if the wok was feature identical, a b&m store will charge at least $8-10 for statewide shipping, plus you're probably not getting a warranty or easy returns with a no-name brand.

do you expect cs wok to break and needs warranty down the road?

i've seen reviews of other woks that complained the rivets came loose after oven seasoning. hopefully that won't be a problem with this one, but if it did i'd be glad to have the warranty.

got it today, first impression is that it's well constructed and attractive, 14" seems plenty of space to cook with and it fits well on top of my electric range (16" would probably be too large). lifting by the handle it feels solid but light enough to toss food. looking forward to getting this baby seasoned and start making stir-fry! for those asking, it weighs almost exactly 4lbs.
