Exactly what insurance agency that writes policies in NJ told you you can't
have a high-power wok burner in a home? And what municipality in NJ said it
was against their building codes? Not all building codes in NJ are uniform.

And what person tells his or her insurance agency what kind of appliances
they have in their own home?

Special plumbing - if your home already is set-up for gas appliances like a
hot water heater, clothes dryer or a house heater, more likely than not
you've got sufficient gas line capacity for a 100k wok burner.
