This is a great looking Wok that performs as well as it looks. Something you won’t mind leaving on the stove. The cast iron has a slight texture to it allowing food to “rest” on the sides while allowing other foods to cook at the bottom. i prefer this to smooth sided modern woks. My fear was this would be too heavy to use. It’s lighter than expected at 8lbs 14 ounces. Not super light but easy enough to get in and out of the cupboard. For comparison my enameled Dutch oven is 9.5lbs without the lid. One tip when seasoning, If the oil is still tacky crank the heat up to 400 and put it back in the oven until it stops smoking. Seasoning in the oven makes a lot of smoke so be sure to have good ventilation. I used coconut oil which works well to season. You can also season over an open flame outside or on the BBQ if you can get it hot enough. Being black I don’t have to obsess with getting it to look shiny. On my gas stove the Wok stays very hot even with a lot of food in it. I was able to sear 2lbs of beef and 1lbs of mushrooms all at once without it steaming the beef. Mushrooms came out perfect. I like my vegetables slightly seared but a little crisp. This wok accomplishes that without using too much oil. The wok is very versatile. Since you may leave it on the stove may as well learn to cook all sorts of things with it. The flat bottom acts like a 6 inch sauté pan. Use it for scrambling eggs, frying a burger or chicken breast. My 12 inch sauté lid rests about half way up making it useful for simmering sauces or soups or stews. Also works great for frying. The sides are nice and high but the bottom is only 6 inches in diameter so you can do a few pieces of food without using too much oil. I plan to use this camping over a wood fire. The kids will love to cook their own food. since it cooks quickly everyone can customize a stir fry to their liking. I bet it would work great over a rocket stove. Be sure to get a spider strainer and a wok spatula. Being cast iron you can use metal utensils without the fear of damaging the wok. Its very tough. Woks were were designed to be portable and cook all sorts of foods so get creative!
