Commercial Wok Ranges Seattle

Commercial Wok Range Buying Guide for Seattle Restaurants

Real wok cooking needs far more heat than a standard range burner can give. A commercial wok range puts a high-output jet burner directly under a wok ring, so you get the fast, intense heat behind fried rice, stir fries, chow mein, pad thai and the smoky "wok hei" flavor customers come back for.

Many Seattle owners start by looking for a used wok range, and many found the original Encore Seattle that way when it sold used restaurant equipment. Today Encore Seattle sells only new Atosa equipment. This guide explains why new is the better buy, then covers ring size, gas, installation and care.

Find Your Wok Range Fast

New vs. Used Wok Ranges

Wok ranges work harder than almost anything in the kitchen: full flame, oil, sauces and water, all day long.

What wears out on a used wok range

• Jet burner: clogged or cracked jets give weak, uneven or yellow flames and less heat.
• Wok ring: warped or cracked rings don't hold the wok steady.
• Valves and pilot: worn valves stick, and pilots won't stay lit.
• Body: heat, water and grease rust and warp the frame.
• The wrong gas type: converting between natural gas and propane needs a technician and parts.

The warranty gap

Most used wok ranges are sold as-is. Every new Atosa wok range on this page carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty (US only).

The real cost of a used wok range

If you still buy used, check this first

• Light the burner and check for a strong, even blue flame at full fire.
• Check the wok ring for cracks and warping.
• Make sure the pilot stays lit and the valve adjusts smoothly.
• Confirm the gas type and have a licensed technician install it.

Compare Every Atosa Wok Range

Both models are freestanding stainless steel single wok ranges with a duck jet burner, a standing pilot, an adjustable valve and adjustable legs. They carry a 1-year parts and labor warranty, and the propane models keep the full BTU rating.

Atosa's spec sheet doesn't list the gas connection size for these wok ranges. Call or text us to confirm it before your gas line is run.

13" or 16" Wok Ring?

• 13" ring (ATW-13): fits the smaller woks most kitchens use for single orders of stir fry and fried rice. Faster to toss.
• 16" ring (ATW-16): for larger woks and bigger batches, with 15,000 more BTU.

Match your woks to the ring size before you order.

Installation, Gas and Ventilation

• Use a licensed technician for installation and gas hookup. Not for outdoor use.
• Install under an exhaust hood as local code requires. Wok cooking puts out a lot of heat, smoke and grease.
• Set it on a level, non-combustible floor, and level it with the adjustable legs.
• Check your gas supply. Each wok range adds 95,000 to 110,000 BTU per hour of gas demand. Have your plumber or propane supplier confirm the line or tank can handle it.

Cleaning and Care

• Turn off the gas and let it cool before cleaning.
• Wipe the top and body daily with a mild detergent.
• Keep food and grease out of the burner so the jets stay clear.
• No abrasive or corrosive cleaners on stainless steel.
• Have it checked by a licensed technician once a year.

If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve, put out all flames and call 911.
