That’s fair. I tried to under estimate the wok BTUs, since commercial units can have 3-4 times the output, to make it a little more fair of a comparison though.
Pedantry:
Technically the gas is about 100% efficient at turning gas into heat, but not all of that heat makes it to the pan whereas the induction transmits like 99% of the energy used into the pan directly.
I feel the ideal setup would be to use induction for most things, and then have a separate 100k BTU propane burner outside for wok cooking. It’s more than you’d be able to get from a residential unit.
You can’t compare the energy directly like that since induction has a higher efficiency.
