My car camping stove is a Gas One GS-3900P. It simmers well, but I got it because it puts out an incredible amount of heat. If you want to save on bulk, you can use a butane canister inside it instead of using an external propane tank, but keep in mind that butane has some downsides compared to propane.
Yeah while you don't need a jet engine to stir-fry, I do think gas is preferable to electric. People make do, but I personally just can't stand electric ranges.
This's the burner we use, more or less. It seems slightly different (perhaps even a bit stronger? When I converted our stove's KwH to BTUs I got something a shade over 9k but that one says its 12k), but it's the same company and the same model name.
If you opt for something a shade stronger like this one, 15k BTUs is like literally exactly what a Chinese home kitchen stove is. Smack a wok ring on that for a nice large round bottomed wok and you got basically an ideal set-up imo.
Try it out yourself.

I got later one. Super practical, I can take it outside to cook. Mostly use Butane. You can buy 12 bottles on amazon.
One bottle gets me about one-two weeks of use.

> Are you suggesting that I NOT get something like this or this to hook up to the Walmart disposable 1lb ones?
The Coleman is great, easy to use. Propane only. Do you know how much you'll use the 2nd burner? I love to cook, yet rarely use more than one burner while camping. But I'm camping, not full time. I never though about going the next decade of my life without a second burner. Maybe this is the stove for you?
The second stove is exactly what I was going to recommend. They have added the hose and the stand to use propane, but if you buy the "screwgate" "china town" butane canisters they will work too. And the 4 for $5 canisters are the cheapest disposable fuel you can buy. better pix here
I use a backpacking stove, myself. But instead of paying $5 for one can of special backpacking fuel, I use the china town butane. This is an option if you see backpacking in your future.
>Are those canisters even recyclable?
Depends on who you ask, but probably no. If you can punch a hole in them and flatten them they should be acceptable. Find out on your county's government website.
> Do I need a heater?
Lurking, I see L.A. Craigslist in your history. I'm in 40 degree weather right now on the other coast. Sorry, I have no idea.
If you were going to do the "surf to ski bum nomadic lifestyle" I'd say yes. I was in a van in CA a decade ago and was OK in Yosemite in May, but wanted a little heat by the time I hit Yellowstone. Snow at Devils Tower. I had no pets at the time. Sorry, outside my expertise.
