Is it even legal to install 100k BTU burner in a residential application? I have a reasonably nice cooktop and the total BTUs of all burners is significantly less than 100k.



This thread is on an article about how removing gas stoves affects Chinese and Korean restaurants.


I wouldn't be surprised if there are places where it is, but I can't find any limit in my local ordinances. For consumers, you're just not going to get a 100k burner in general - I can find a few prosumer ranges that get up to 35k or so on a single burner, but nothing remotely close to what you would see in a professional Chinese kitchen.

For stir-frying I have a 270k BTU propane burner I use outside. I wouldn't want to dump that much heat into the inside of my house in general, unless it was winter I guess.
