Cooking on a Discada

Wish you would have posted a pic. I like seeing what others discada looks like. Did you make yours or buy it?

Please do add some pictures.

I had to look that one up. It looks like a wok with an attached heat source.

I had a friend that made one from an old disc blade. It worked great.

A buddy and I made a few with the tractor blade and horseshoes.

That is real cool.............I think I have all the stuff to make that! And I'm usually not critical about descriptions........but I'm a farm boy, that is a disc blade, not a tractor blade......

What happens with the holes? In the disk?

Some have a square hole and just require a piece of flat stock be welded in to fill the hole. Round hole, some washers work to fill the hole.

Dave is right on the money. Weld up and grind smooth.

I made my first and second Discada's.
1st was a 22" with traditional Horseshoe handles. Sold it to a friend.
2nd was a 18" with traditional Horseshoe handles. (Still have it)

I have located a 24", but haven't decided on the build.
My buddy the Welder got a promotion to City Attorney, and has
reduced time now...

The 24" has lots of sideboard room for Tortillas plus lots of room for cooking. Only a matter of time till I have a larger one again.

I have cooked on Discada's since sometime in the 90s.
I saw some Mexicans cooking on one out in Southern Arizona, and we built my first one when I returned home. I located the components, and my welder made us two. (I love cooking on em)
