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


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.

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.
