I like to cook outside using wood, this drum cooker works as a fryer or a very intense direct grill.

Like the look of that! Have you tried cooking paella in it? Have been thinking of getting a paella pan to try cooking this on my Kamado.

If you are after a Paella pan try these guys.

I get all my stuff from them, next day delivery, never had a problem, excellant service.
For a quick steak, on my own, I will often fire up the Paella gas burner, with a griddle on, and hey presto.
Mind you I have yet to cook a Paella over coals, as gazz_46 has suggested..

Yep - that's the company I found also - am planning on using over charcoal rather than the gas burner. Good to hear you've had a positive experience with them.

Sorry for the hijack, but I would like a wok burner, a gas one putting out a million BTUs or whatever (ok probably not that much). Anybody bought one? Domestic gas cookers are just a joke in terms of putting out heat, and I believe the real Chinese wok burners will get hotter than than wood or coal.

Have been dreaming of one for about a decade now but it's never seemed practical.

I guess this would have enough power

Any experiences?
