Just a quick pic maybe I can get a better one or two
I have never understood the whole cast iron wok thing. Cast iron defeats the design of a wok. The wok was designed to heat fast in a small area and cook food with a minimum of fuel, hammer steel is ideal. Cast iron sucks for that.
I replaced my Coleman grill with a Skottle from TemboTusk an it's amazing! It doesn't take up any table space, easier to clean than the grill, and no need for pans! And since it uses a simple single burner I can still make coffee first thing in the morning.
That's exactly what I thought. My buddy was pretty jazzed about getting me a deal I said ok and gave him the $20. You are right about the cast iron having hot spots and all. I understand that its best at resisting temperature changes. As long as you have time to let it heat up it's great. Woks were designed to use very little fuel, thus the thin metal. Once heated, the cast iron keeps that nice hotspot in the center and cools toward the rim.
Scored a Griswold dutch oven, the lid hinges up and separated is another skillet and a Griswold griddle at a flea market last weekend. Both were clean and well cared for and both were cheaper than new. Also cleaned up my two CI bean pots. Need to find a 10" lid for them.
Discada's are cool implements, but I cannot see any reason to attach the legs directly to the skillet..
A burner and this would be easier IMHO BBQ Dish Disc Blade With Handles 22" x 3.5mm
Ohh boy.. Now I want a chili roaster..

It looks like it is fairly common to attach the legs for those who cook directly on wood fires. (At least based on watching youtube videos of discada cooking anyway.) I could see welding pipe floor flanges to the discada so it could be used over a fire and still break down for transport or use on a stove.
