Cowboy cooker

I had seen several firepits for cooking. This is my version. Would love to hear your comments and opinions(even the negative ones).

Cool idea and nice work - but where does the fire go - in the big pan? Isn't that a little close to the wood panels? Planning on charcoal or wood or both?

This was my question. It looks gorgeous. I'm looking at it, eyes wide thinking "I want to cook on THAT, but how the hell do i do it??

It is made out of a harrow disc with a rim welded on. There is a removable ash pan underneath the disc. Note handle at front. I've had the biggest fire you could build in it and no problems with scorching. Most of the heat goes straight up. You can use wood or charcoal in it. Here in Texas we use mostly hickory or pecan. I just got hold of some 30" dia discs and will build some bigger ones.

That sure looks neat, but I gotta say "All cooker, no meat"? kinda like "All hat, no cattle"? Throw some meat on that thing, yummy.

Agree 100% with the Milkman. Pics/vids or it didn't happen. Looking forward to seeing some actual cooking/recipes with this...
