Gear / Accessories Le Rock Wok DIY

[Hickey]

Needed parts:

- 1 plow disc, discada, or flat but not too flat metal plate.
- 3 1/2" pipe couplers
- 3 1/2"x 16" or 18" pipe nipples
- 2' of 1.5" angle iron for the burner cradle
- 1 Ozark Trail single burner stove

After cleaning the ever-loving snot out of your plow disc (or whatever) you have to layout your pipe coupler locations. I just kept drawing lines until I saw 3 that sorta looked evenly spaced.



All of those extra lines will make it easier to center your burner cradle.



Now take the angle iron and cut it into 3 pieces at 7.5". Weld them into a U shape and weld that sucker to the bottom of your future taco burner. Make roundy grooves for the burner to drop into.




Season your new Rock Wok on your gas grille. After seasoning, thread your nipples on to your welded pipe couplers and slide your burner into the cradle. Attach 1 lbs bottle of propane and light that baby.



Now make tacos.



The center will get hot as hell. Don't burn your tacos.

This one would be make a better setup, but it is cast iron, so no welding. It does come with threaded holes for the included legs, just need to make a plate that uses those holes to suspend the burner below.

I'm gonna make a variation of this soon. Very cool! And it doesn't cost $300+

 

[Hickey]

if you can source that Bayou Classic above it could be less than $65.

You said nipples.

HUGE nipples.

That is AWESOME Jeremy. I've been wanting to get a Skottle to carry in the coach and try it out but haven't done so yet. I may have to steal your idea.

I don't know if I'd call it my idea, but you're welcome to it! If you can source a better cook top it would be better. This one was a lot of prep, and then it welds terribly.

 

[Spork]

what would you recommend looking for in a cook top? (used/polished work better?)

I feel like Kevin has room for one of these in the back of his truck so we don't have to make my crappy skillet tacos anymore.

 

[Kevin B.]

Why not use an actual wok? I don't know how weldable that steel is, but a wok stand over a propane burner would work just as well if not better.

You make it I'll haul it.

An actual wok is quite a bit more dished.

 

[Hickey]

Something like this might work, though it's quite a bit larger.

Discada, BBQ Disc Blade, Cowboy Wok

This discada, or disc blade, is the cutting edge of skillet cooking. For use outdoors, this modified disc blade is great for searing, grilling, frying and more.

This one might be better.

BBQ Dish Disc Blade, 22

Agri Supply carries the Carolina Cooker BBQ Disc Blade, sometimes called a discada or cowboy wok. The 22 inch steel surface is great for use outside.

This one would be ideal, except you can't weld to it. You would have to attach something to the legs.

I think i'm gonna start with that one. The legs look threaded in and so you can make the burner mount attach to those casted in threads and go from there!

So my Rock Wok is just meh. The disc is just too thin and too concave.

Shane and I have both ordered the Carolina Cooker, and let me tell you... It's the way of the future. Y'all should order one just to have its glory in your presence. They are cheap!

We will be working on an adapter to hang a single burner under it soon.

So I ended up with the Bayou Classic 7488 17" Cast Iron Campfire Griddle and finally had time to make progress on my Rock Wok (tm) by Hickey Enterprises (c)

Because the legs screw in at a slight angle I decided to cheat and use a piece of plastic to mark and draw out a template

Close enough

Then I used some occult magick to find center and draw a 3.25" radius circle for the burner to sit

Plasma cut it out with my super steady hands

Made it look decent with a grinder

I then used some small just over 3/8" ID tube for the bolts. The plate is threaded some metric bolt size, I can't remember what I ended up with.

Burner will be about an inch away from the bottom when it sits. Next I just need to grind down the heads of the bolts and weld some 3/4" tube for legs. I'll post more when I finish.

Do you have a bag to store that in or is the dirt considered a flavor enhancement?
