The Block Burner Max

Wow! This this is powerful! The flame sounds like and looks like a rocket. I love it!

I usually not write reviews but I liked this product to the extent I could not avoid letting all of you out there my assessment. For the price, you can not go wrong using this product. It is well made, sturdy, and its BTU output (do not know how t measure it) is way more than a regular outdoor stove. Beats your home range. You are almost getting so much heat as if you are having a log fire under your ports. I tried cooking Chinese style rice and it came out darn good - so long local Chinese take out. Even cooking steaks on your cast iron skillets is a breeze! Set up was easy, controls were a lot different from what I was used to but makes sense to me. The only thing I did not like was that the openings where your ports rest could use a portable grill to set smaller ports on it - without it they will need your holding. Also, the ends of the center burner space where the pot-support is and you would set your pots have sharp edges that may end up really scratching pots that are concave such as my wok. I did not mind with my old and beat up wok but my newer and trendy types are still like new and those scratches scratched my heart!! Nasty!!!. Anyways, You can do serious french fries, deep fry chicken goodies and even tempura goodies. You’ve got the heat with this product, I hope you got the meats!!

This burner is amazing. Unfortunately the first unit I ordered arrived and the burner prongs on the one side were uneven and caused my pan to wobble. I contacted concord directly and explained the problem and they sent me a new unit likketty split and they made sure the new burner prongs were even. Problem solved..amazing customer service. I live in a studio and I only have a small induction burner in my kitchen and I needed this for frying and cooking larger projects. Great to do all the frying outside instead of in the home. Last night I stir fried using the wok ring and it absolutely produced plenty of heat for wokking. Had to be careful not to use too much flame to avoid burning my chicken wings. It's awesome!!

Is there a wind guard accessory for this product? I need it! I use it outside and if there is wind, it absolutely cannot work

After weeks of research, I decided to order this not just for its review but also for this being a double burner and most importantly, it was returnable unlike the others. I received one which had a slight manufacturing defect. One of the four square tubes on the left side burner was lower than the rest three which made the cooking pot little unstable. So I returned it and Amazon shipped the replacement before they had UPS pick up the defective one. The replacement had the same defect as well, but not as bad as the first one. So I decided to keep it. Positives: 1) There is plenty of space between the two burners even after placing the two largest pots I have. 2) Excellent temperature control. 3) Has a built in wok ring on the right side burner. 4) Sturdy construction. 5) Best product for its value. I have a minor recommendation for the manufacturer to make sure that all four square tubes on the left side burner are welded with the same height so that they all touch the bottom of a pot at the same time. I highly recommend this product and would buy it again, but not in the next few years as this one is going to last for quite some time.

Bought it for a wok... Super powerful... Stable... And its a double! I even have to turn the burner way low as it cooks super fast and that will save gas... 10 inch burners are useless... You dont want heat pouring over the sides of anything... Its wasted. Plus handle burns up. This burner size is perfect and if you want, turn it up and it comes out like a jet engine.

Works well but we are worried about the threads long term. We take close care to do these. This sucker can do well on heating food up. We almost always use it on low to medium. Prodigious heating power. It super heavy but has good heft, design is cool because you have a wok ring built in for those of you with Asian cuisine desires, and it seems to be fairly durable if taken care of. Decent value.

This stove is so damn nice. I am a sucker for a nice stove. Its not light but its not as heavy as some others. Has an eye for a wok and one for pots and pans. I bought a cast iron trivet and burner to place over that for using my tea kettle for hot water for my coffee. Very nice design with some intense heat.
