So what exactly is this fire disc? Is this a standalone propane burner with wok?

The fire disc is a takeoff of a discada or cowboy wok. A used plow or cultivator disc when discarded was used by some in the southwest to cook over an open fire. The fire disc can be used as a griddle, fryer, for soups (holds 5 gal of liquid) and or wok to name a few uses. One can cook a single item or an entire meal on the disc.

We use ours primary as a wok but tonight I'm going to try smashed burgers and see that goes.

It is stand alone unit and comes equipped to use the 1 lb gas cylinders that you can get for around $3.50 each. So far, I have averaged 5-5.5 cooks per cylinder. They do offer a kit to allow the use of the 20 lb bottles.

They offer 24" and a 36" units. The disc is the same for both, 22" in diameter. All of their units are 3 piece construction, sturdy, and portable. They also offer a unit that has just the disc without the sides.

To clean after use, simply wipe down with damp towel and you are done with the clean up. Only time the disc is washed is prior to the first use.

It is concave. The disc is 22" in diameter and is 5" deep at the deepest point. It is not as deep as a standard wok and is made of a heavier material (carbon steel). It heats quickly and I believe I saw somewhere that it tops out at 450 degrees.

The two handles are in the not pictured area of the pic.

Ok, so it can be lifted off the burner itself?

Yes, the disc lifts off of the two piece base. The burner is part of one of the base pieces if that makes sense.

The base is slotted and no tools required for set up.

Keep in mind when I say it is sturdy, the disk weighs approximately 60 lbs. The base is not that heavy but is plenty strong/stable to handle the weight of the disc.

Al can talk wok, don't know if Al can cook wok.

Thought he and Heraldo were first cousins, you know Jewish-Puerto Rican

that looks great, Burner...you've mastered the technique of sliding cooked parts of the dish up to the cooler top, so their juices can flow down and mingle with the less-cooked portions while staying warm...looks like an authentic stir-fry...

Thanks, we have had it since Christmas and I am cooking with it twice a week. Still working on melding the right flavors. Can't get it to spicy or the wife cannot eat due to some stomach issues.

I've got a really well seasoned carbon steel wok that I love using. It's hard to beat a wok for an amazing variety of foods. I even deep fry in it. Gotta love it.

That's cool. I already own way too many smokers, grills and other outdoor cooking **** or I'd be tempted.

Nice. My blackstone 36" checks in at 120lbs, about 100 of that is the griddle top. Cooking on something with that much mass is great for even temps.

FWIW - I found a refill rig for the 1lb camping bottles that works well, I use mine alot.

You can either use their bottles or after you bend the plastic tab in where the bottle connects (to "prevent" you from using disposable bottles) with a set of small forceps to pull up on the schrader valve looking pin, you can fill the disposables. Just weigh them before and after.

If I had more space I would seriously consider the Blackstone and will keep it in the back of my mind if we do a porch expansion.

Thanks for the heads-up on the refill rig.

The Blackstone griddle is a godsend.

Got one for the camper and I don't use the propane grill anymore, doesn't make sense to use. I can grill brats/dogs on the open fire, everything else I cooked was on a cast iron plate put over the grill grates. I still keep my mini kettle for charcoal/wood cooking, but that's for flavor, not convenience.

I love it. I can't say enough good things about it. And coupled with an adapter hose to a 20lb propane cylinder, I cook hundreds of meals and don't ever run out. I fed 20 dudes 3x/day for 4 days, twice - at two events, and started with a partial cylinder still didn't run out.

It's the best cooktool I've ever owned.

This wok is seriously tempting. But it doesn't look like it lends much to portability.

I provided you a couple of links on the other thread. Portability is not a problem if you have the space. There are several u-tube videos on the uses of the disc. Also, turns out there is another company, RTIC that is offering an knockoff of the fire disc and appears it may cost less.
