Discado cooker

[nikonron]

Didn't like the cost of buying one of these so I gathered up materials and built my own. It's a great way to cook while out camping. I made it to use on the table top or ground, I may shorten it a few inches yet. Ron

Build thread?

Sorry, didn't take pics of build. I already had the Coleman single burner. Found the 18" steel disc on Ebay for $19.00. Ron

Nice and cheaper than my Skottle I'll bet, They are nice to cook with camping for sure.

Yes Charlie, alot cheaper than the Skottle, I couldn't justify what they wanted for theirs. Also wanted to make it shorter with aluminum legs. I have ordered the Blue Ridge Overland carrying bag though. Ron

The carry bag is nice and I'll bet your legs fit in it too whereas the Skottle legs are too long. My wife uses the lid a lot too but I'd imagine you could find the equivalent easily enough.

Nice job.

Looks like www.southwestdisk.com is a good option and about 100+ cheaper then the SKOTTLE. Has anyone here used one by chance?

I liked those also, but I didn't see an 18" size. They are reasonable on their pricing. Ron

I've got a friend who makes them out of tractor plow discs. Great for asada and pastor tacos!

Simple is best. Nice job. I farmed for many years and had a pile of used blades in the trees. I cleaned up the scrap iron a few years ago and of course they went. I had one left, but it is what is called a cone blade. Cone because it has steeper sides resulting in deeper dish. I made a discada from it, it works but is too deep and heat concentrates in the center too much. I will search neighbors scrap iron for a normal blade.
