    My new toy

    Click image for larger version  Name:	20180830_165025.jpg Views:	1 Size:	1.41 MB ID:	558155 So after eyeing the arteflame for quite sometime and realizing I wanted something more versatile than it or a Blackstone, but love using griddles. After watching countless you tube videos most needing a interpreter and my love of Mexican food I Click image for larger version  Name:	20180830_165046.jpg Views:	1 Size:	1.27 MB ID:	558156Click image for larger version  Name:	20180830_165052.jpg Views:	1 Size:	1.60 MB ID:	558157Click image for larger version  Name:	20180830_165118.jpg Views:	1 Size:	1.48 MB ID:	558158Click image for larger version  Name:	20180830_165122.jpg Views:	1 Size:	1.75 MB ID:	558159 decided to go with a Discada. This is the 22 inch model and is pictured sitting in my 26 inch kettle. As you can see in the shape it will be quite versatile from a griddle to deep frying or soup and chili. Time to get it seasoned up with lard and a weber chimney. Done had to use the vortex and a firebrick to keep it at a angle Click image for larger version

    Thats it! I am buying one! Is that exactly 22" across? I was looking at the 24" model for my WSCGC. Now I am wondering if I should just get the 22". It looks huge!

      Thank you brother! That will fit nicely on my 24. Glad I didn't go bigger.

      I have an 18” carbon wok I’ve never used. 24” would be monstrous.

      Mr. Bones most seem to use them on a propane style camp stove,will be here tomorrow. I may try putting a couple of fire bricks around it for now to see how it works out. Planning on doing breakfast on it tomorrow

      customtrim , Cool Beans!
      I seen their burners on th website, also familiar with Camp Chef, etc...
      Jus wonderin out loud if anybody here had run one on a kettle...???
      Were I to purchase one, that would be my initial intent.
      If that didn't work out so well, reckon I'd jus buy me a burner stove stand kinda thing...

    Sweet! I've got a few old rusty discs from a big tilling tractor machine in the backyard I've been thinking of turning into one!

      Yep that's where they come from. Very common down here.

      Ahumadora that's awesome! I had no idea that's actually what they originate from.

      My buddy's in-laws are from NM and they all have some version of these. Breakfast seems to be the most popular cook they do, but I think wokking Asian or sizzling fajitas would be way fun with this!

        That is cool! I'm not a fan of getting a griddle, not my style, but this gorgeous disk may just sway me in the right direction. I love that you place it directly on the grill (i.e. no electricity required).

            Mr. Bones it is wobbly if you just set it on the grate. My solution is 4 split fire bricks spaced on the outside of the vortex on top of the grate, then set the discada on top of the brick. The brick runs me about 1.50 each I think and this gives you the clearance for proper air flow to the vortex and allows the sides to get warm. Much cheaper than a camp stove Click image for larger version
