[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 260780, member: 704"] I guess I was cheep when it comes to griddles. I have one that fits my Coleman stove, but my favorite is mad from a 20 inch disc from one of my relatives old farm disk. I welded the center hole shut and wire brushed the entire disk. I also welded an eye on two sides for a handle. To heat I have used a turkey fryer, a variety of camp stoves, and hot coals. When center heated it works much like w wok. It works great for me when making breakfast because I can keep onions and hash browns warm along the edge while I fry eggs in the center. I was surprised how thick those disks are, and how well they hold heat. A little tip if you try this. I destroyed two disks before I caught on. I welded the hole shut, then as I looked at it TINK a large crack split the disk half way across. The disks are tempered and must cool very slow. I used the cracked disk to heat up sand, then used it to pour over and covers newly welded disk quickly before it cracked. Thought I would mention it in the event some of you may have an old disc junked out. [/QUOTE]
