Disc Campfire Cooker Build

[YOLO]

I was bummed not being able to make the desert bar weekend camp out. What I did realize is that many of you thought the "Disc plow cooker thing" was cool. My friend and I whipped a couple up this weekend. Here you go!

A couple old used up disc blades 24" +/-


Big ass band saw cutting 1 7/16" bar stock to fill the 1 1/2" center hole


Big ass band saw cutting 10" casing


Center it up and glue it together. A three legged stool never wobbles? All thread works good and much cheaper than bolts of equal length


Grind down and polish up the center of the disc. Nice to be able to put over a fire.


Legs detached so that it will easily fit on a burner. The casing on the bottom keeps it stable.


Warning: This project may produce incredible thirst that may last through the duration of the project, into the evening, and possibly early hours of the morning. Have plenty of cold beverages on hand to quench this parched state!

Nicely done.
Now you just need to fill it with Chorizo, eggs, potatoes, fresh tortillas and invite everyone over to admire it.

A buddy of mine has one of those. He made a big handle (similar to a frying pan) out of square stock he twisted. Everyone we camp with threatens to steal that thing. It is awesome to cook on and to fry seafood at the coast. :thumbup:

Cool thing about this one is I only have about $20 bucks in it and will last a lifetime.

Ours has horseshoes on the sides as handles. I think the way they are welded on they are meant to not get hot. One of our handles still gets hot. The other is touchable throughout cooking. I had a blast cooking breakfast on it for everyone. Thinking of making fajitas on ours this week. Anyone else have ideas of what to cook on them?

Exactly what they are.....Rig welders have been churning them out for years. Some of the best fajitas and carne asada to grace the earth have been grilled on disc woks.:thumbsup:thumbsup

Work great to fry/saute fish and shrimp also. Clean up is just turning up the heat and burning off the thin layer of oil.:thumbsup

Yes sir. We cook fajitas, breakfast and stir fry stuff all the time.

Best way to cook tripas is with a disco!

Just like cast iron pans. You need to produce a patina coating for non-stick. Watch the second half of this. It take hours to do this. Havasteve can tell you the best way. His cast iron is glass smooth and shiny.
