Default BTU cooking table?

The P24WKBS Thermador 24'' Single Burner gets up to 30,000 BTUs but
requires it be built in to the countertop as a surface burners or
stoves are. True professional wok burners get in the 100,000 BTU
range, but require special plumbing and are often against local codes
and insurance companies will void homeowner policies because of them.
That was what I found out in both MAssachusetts and New Jersey.

I ended up with the 30,000 BTYU Thermador and am very happy with it.
Just doubling the BTUs found on regular cooktops makes a significant
difference. On some dishes I can even get aromas and tastes of the
famed wok hay. On all dishes it is much superior to cooktop burners.

If you are redoing a kitchen and can accommodate a 30" additional
cabinet next to the stove, by all means add the Thermador wok burner.

Don't forget that you will also have to get a much larger exhaust
system to cover the range and wok burner.
