theplayer... it is confusing. Here is what I have learned: The old style looking RCS with the slotted vents on the front were configured with the simmer, 2x15k and an 18k burner. The new style RCS without the slotted vents in the front (like I bought) have a simmer and 3x15k burners as a way to cut costs. When we were in the process of purchasing this new style RCS the on-site BlueStar rep was hawking the new style range as having the simmer, 2x15k and an 18k burner... the rep was apparently not educated on the new style burner layout and telling us the burner layout was the same and did not change from the old style RCS. Since the 18k burner was the selling point for us to buy this new style range, along with the new look, we held the appliance store to the rep's word. In short, the new style RCS does not come with an 18k burner unless it is ordered as an upgrade.

Thanks for everyoneâÂÂs reply @weissman @homepro01 May be I should provide more info on my budget. I am looking to spend about $2000 (absolute max $2500 if I can get something like RNB, Dacor, ARP, CC at this price) So separate wok burner is kind of out of the question. I will have a separate thread soon looking for recommendation for a range that suits my need but I will try to keep this thread to wok temperature comparison. It would be great if you can provide temperature of wok at those separate hob as well. @gtadross Would you mind measuring the temperature in your wok? I know it is blazing hot but just want to compare with what the gadget can achieve @kaseki I agree with you but the max temperature measurement is more of a indirect comparison on the recovery of temperature at the bottom of wok after ingredient is added. @trevor Thanks for the measurement. I can understand how a great patina is worth more than gold lol @ctycdm Thanks for measuring. Is it a 15k/18k/22k burner you are using? Is that temperature the max you can get?

Thanks for the comment little buggy! They're soft like, they don't spread because they've been on those particular leaves for about 3-4 weeks. Sorry I should've gotten a better pictures.

Sorry about your Emanuelle! Here is mine flowering in summer. I got it as a mislabel three years ago and it looked a bit like yours then. It flowered but it didn't root and all leaves died shortly after emerging. It was then sitting without doing anything for about a year before it started growing roots and leaves. Now it is a healthy bulb with many offsets :-) I think there is hope for your bulb! My Caramel from RC opened yesterday and looks more orange. I'll post a picture tomorrow... Anja
