COOKING
Cooking with your FireDisc
®
is really quite easy. For food items that do not contain much
moisture or are not naturally oily, start by adding a small amount of cooking oil. Fire up the
cooker, add your food, adjust your temperature and cook away! There are three concentric heat
rings or zones on your FireDisc
®
. You can cook in the center and keep other items warm around
the perimeter. Or, cook your meats in the center zone and veggies in the second zone. Also, the
FireDisc
®
surface was designed at an angle so grease fl ows to the middle while your food stays put.
See our website for lots of recipes and cooking tips. There are also a few recipes in this manual.
CLEAN UP
Cleaning your FireDisc
®
is similar to cleaning a cast-iron skillet. When done cooking, scrape out
any food (use our cooking “weapons” or any non-abrasive tool, i.e., not steel wool), rinse with
water and wipe out the disc. Yes, it’s that easy! That’s why it’s perfect for cooking on the go.
If you burn food onto the disc or it needs serious cleaning, heat it (empty) on high for 5 to 8
minutes,carefully add COLD water and bring to a boil for up to 10 minutes. Turn off and let cool
and then dump out the water. This should clean up your FireDisc
®
.
STORAGE
When done cooking and after cleanup, wipe your FireDisc
®
with a small amount of cooking oil to
guard against surface rust. Do not leave FireDisc
®
out in the elements or, if you must, cover it or
remove the disc from the stand and lean it, so it can’t collect moisture. For long-term storage or
transport, disassemble the three sections, stack, and keep out of the elements.

LIGHTING
Step 1: Before lighting your FireDisc
®
, you’ll need to screw on a propane canister.
Step 2: To light (be sure to keep face and hands away from burner at all times), turn the gas
regulator to the LOW position. Light with long lighter, placing the fl ame directly over
the burner. Safely adjust knob (low/medium/high) as needed for appropriate
cooking temperature.
Step 3: To turn off, turn gas regulator to the OFF position. The knob will pop up when securely in
OFF position. Make sure regulator is in OFF position at all times when fi nished cooking or
when the FireDisc
®
cooker is not in use.
SEASONING
Your FireDisc
®
cooker is similar to a quality cast-iron skillet in that it must be seasoned before use.
Seasoning will help prevent rust, keep food from burning or sticking to the surface, and will also
enhance the fl avor of your food.
Step 1: Wash your FireDisc
®
with soap and water (this will be the only time you’ll use soap in your
FireDisc
®
) and then rinse and dry.
Step 2: Light your FireDisc
®
, and put it on HIGH heat for 8 minutes.
Step 3: Add 2 tbsp. of lard or canola oil, and, using a paper towel grasped by a pair of kitchen
tongs, spread the lard/oil around entire surface of the cooker. DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS!
Step 4: Wipe away excess lard/oil, turn off the heat and let the disc cool.
TIP: Sprinkle with coarse sea salt to reduce smoke.
Step 5: To season well, repeat Steps 2–4 three or four times.
Step 6: When fi nally cooled, wipe dry, and you’re ready to cook.
