The Block Burner Max

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!!

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.

The 100k BTU burners work great and it has enough separation between the burners for big pots and pans. Brings a big pot of water to a boil quick while frying in a large pan next to it.Suggested modifications,1. Had to add rubber feet so it doesn’t slide on my SS table.2. Moved the handle to the other side, where it works much better.3. Added sheet metal on 3 sides for wind control.4. Add igniters.

Awesome, value for the money

Would give it a 5 if the controls were more user friendly. Burns hot and fits my wok perfectly. I use the other burner to heat a griddle that came off an 18” Blackstone propane griddle.

First, it is very sturdy. I love to cook Cajun and Creole foods… They require high heat for searing and blackening. The Concord The Block Burner Max works amazingly good for this! Warning!!! I have already had friends want to borrow it!😳

This is my second review. I've owned mine for six months and it is still holding up and I purchased the table for this. I use it a lot because my flat top stove SUCK. This will boil water in no time. Use a skillet and can cook or fry in no time. Love the other side to use a wok. I had this on my wish for a year or two and finally ordered this.
