My brother inlaw told me he saw Alton Browne use the base part of a
turkey frier as a burner for a wok. I decided to give it a try and man
does it work well!. Heat much higher than your gas stove can attain!
Chi. rest. have a 10" gas pipe coming in. That gets real hot. The
turky burner gets close. Of course it should only be used outside.

Also, IMHO, Wok popcorn. More, faster, cheaper, than any microwave
bag!
