    I don’t use it as often as I would like but works great for large group camping trips. I started with a legit tractor disc and welded the axle hole closed. Added horseshoes for handles. Then it was time to season with several oil rubs and a hot trip in the oven.

    That should hold heat real well. What do you call it?….Mega Wok?

    If you were ever so inclined to make more of those, I would be interested in buying one!

    Hey! You’re messing up perfectly good replacement discs. Geeze, if you’ve got all these discs just burning a hole in your pocket, well, I’ve got a disc that needs a few busted ones replaced.

    Kids these days. Turning perfectly good farm implements into cooking appliances. Too much damn Food Network, if you ask me. Turn off the boob tube and get outside.

    LMAO! Senility is a terrible thing. Grouse, this “cooking appliance” was made outside to be used outside. Doh!

    BTW, these were made with used, worn out discs, so, technically, it was recycling. ;-)

    I saw this in a Field and Stream magazine a few years back. Looks cool to me!

    cool idea, need to check with some of my farming bud’s to see what they have laying around. So you weld the hole shut add some horse shoes, then grind it smooth, and polish it out? Of course I know how to season it up. I’m looking for an old wrought iron outdoor table, cut out a hole in the middle to nestle a small smokey joe webber in and paint it all up new. Can have different meats in marinades and hand out scewers to have kind of a fondue party, but with a grill.

    Heres a “plan B” to your disc. I use an aluminum lid off an old (really old) Maytag wash machine. Clean it up, heat and soak it up with cooking oil. Heats evenly and works miracles on bacon, hash browns and eggs for a crew. Nearly one pan cooking for shore lunches, etc. jerr

    Chomps, just lay a washer or a small piece of bar stock in the hole and use some welding rod or feed wire to fill it in. Then just hit it with the grinding wheel.
