A disco for deer camp

GF · Posted: Thu Nov 24 11 2:15 am Post subject: A disco for deer camp

At the last minute I decided to make a disc and stand to bring up to deer camp. I wanted a small cooker that folds down with no tools involved. here is what I came up with after going through the spare parts piles.

Here is a few pics from camp making venison fajitas.

We also took it out for lunch.

Had to do bananas foster for dessert.

Thanks for looking.

killswitch, I agree. Very Happy

Kurt_W, The camp is in Maine. Shocked

KAKid, why wait till spring? I'm liking the fold down, easy transport factor. Very Happy

it just struck me funny to see flour tortillas heating up on a disc in New England. Very Happy

but with the net and globaliztion and all I'd bet a person could find tortillas in Taiwan.
nice looking camp, BTW.

KAKid, seems like a fair explanation to me. Smile

Kurt_W, it is kinda funny, I've gotten a few "what am I eating and how?" questions over the years. Very Happy

Very Cool GF! I like the tear down aspect of the cooker. I am wanting to put one together for camping as well and that should work out just fine and dandy. Nice work Very Happy

TrailerBuilder, Thank you. The easy tear down and no small parts to loose would make it easy for camping. Cool

GF, got a question on your invention, I would also like to make something like yours. I was wondering does yours wobble at all, it doesn't look like the black pipe goes very deep into the holes made on the bottom. I mocked mine up today and it was a little wobbly. Thanks in advance and nice build. Ron

rhollar, thank you.
The black pipe legs don't go into the bottom. I put a 3" piece of 5/8" round bar into it and drilled the angle iron on the rim to that size.
The pipe sits on top like a shoulder.
If you have any other questions, just say so, I'll try to help. Very Happy

lay that disc in a big pile of coals(we use mesquite, but any hardwood's good) cut up a buncha mare guts about 10/12 in, season w/ salt,pepper, garlic and boil them w/ a beer. when the beer's boiled off the renderd fat fry's 'em. fry to taste(crispy or less) put that ina tortilla w/ Tobasco.
another option is to grill 'em till hot , greasy and slightly crisp and put a piece in white bread. also Tobasco.they render alot of fat while grillin', so keep lotsa coals handy to keep yer heat.
now before yall freak.. mare guts is a local term for fresh smalls from a fresh butchered young beef. corruppted from marrow gut. if yer particular, you can rince em' before cookin'.

Thanks Maniac, The easy breakdown was the main goal, and for once, it actually worked. Shocked

The bottom pics are heating up lunch about 5-6 rocky miles from the camp.
The handles work pretty well, they don't get hot and the chain was free. Very Happy
