This wok shown shown in the video by the king is probably a standard 14" carbon steel wok. Please take note the 3 rivets holding the handle to the wok, this is a must for such a size and frequent movement. Most woks comes with only 2 rivets, if small its ok but 14" I'd say don't compromise.

Carbon steel is a good choice as it conducts heat quickly and also can be non-stick when seasoned. (Stainless steel sticks, Cast iron conducts heat slow and keeps heat)

This type of quality wok don't come cheap, you can order online just google carbon steel wok 14" price can vary according to thickness so don't think you are getting a good deal when price is cheap it could be very thin. And don't think you are cheated if you paid more cos it could be thick wok. I recommend not less than 1.65mm.

for example - https://www.lazada.co.th/products/traditional-hand-hammered-carbon-steel-pow-wok-with-wooden-and-steel-helper-handle-14-inch-round-bottom-731w88-by-craft-wok-middle-sized-i265921719-s414088472.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.5.5509187dtVBwlo&search=1

By the way a comfortable stove to work with this wok will be one with a  large grate base and preferably deep as well.

It will be perfect on my stove the left burner.

many restaurants and chefs go there to buy their supplies

they are more expensive than buying online but sometimes it's important to see and feel the actual product

buy online sometimes feel scammed when the actual product arrives and it's not as good as you expected
