If it costs 5 dollars each disk? Yea right. I can get a 20lb bag of Kingsford charcoal for about 7 bucks at my local Wal-Mart. (Even cheaper if it's a holiday or something and they're having a b1g1free sale@ lowes) Pair that up with a one time cost of 20 bucks for a chimney charcoal starter and consider the fact that I can grill probably about At least 7-10x with that one bag of charcoal. A BIT is a little under-exaggerating, don't you think? Just for curiosity sake, I'm going to try this "flamedisk" if I ever come across it at the store, but if the taste isn't as good or better than using charcoal and if the convenience of the product doesn't make up for it being about 5x more expensive than using charcoal, then I wont try it again. I grill mostly just burgers, kabobs, chicken, and finishing ribs (i bake the ribs to cook them 3/4ths of the way and then finish them on the grill while saucing them for the grilled taste and look) Just a BIT more expensive than charcoal grilling?

I can't find it in Tom Thumb, Kroger, or Walmart, for that matter. Not my local sports equipment place either.

I've had great luck with the product, but as I've disclosed before I work for the makers; so please don't take my word for it. Look at independent reviews like the Bite of the Best has above or maybe Cooking Outdoors http://www.cooking-outdoors.com/flamedisk-fast-easy-and-clean-grilling-heat or Tailgating Ideas http://www.tailgatingideas.com/flamedisk/ We also filmed actual FlameDisk users at a tailgating events around Wisconsin last year.

They sear the food without grilling from heat. Anything greasy just makes the flames worse. They cook hot dogs just fine, but try brats or a good fatty steak and it is flame city! If you put the lid on the grill for a true barbeque type finish, the flames will extinguish. I have tried every type of food with these and hot dogs are the only thing that cooks half way descent. I used the rest of mine to light campfires. If you can prove me wrong, I'd love to see it. Grilled 2 filet mignons with these and they destroyed them. I believe in green and alternate fuels, but these are not the answer. I love mesquite and hickory flavoring but you just cannot do it like a conventional grill with charcoal. These are a great idea, but just don't "cut the mustard". Not badmouthing them, just don't work as they are described. You guys are nuts! They sear the food without grilling from heat.

As state above, I work for Sologear, the makers of the FlameDisk, and after researching how most people use grills and the types of foods most commonly grilled we decided that a 45 minute burn time would be optimal for most grilling occasions. This amount of time is great for a couple of rounds of food like burgers, brats, and chicken. I think most foods, even those grilled in foil, are going to be pretty well done after 45 minutes over the FlameDisk. If you have any other questions please email me at info@sologearcorp.com. Sincerely, Morgan Hello J Adamo,

Does anyone have any recommendation for what to do when you want to BBQ something for one hour or longer? (Like food wrapped in tinfoil?) Do I just remove the first disk and put a new one in?

It is fine for other cooking options where one would use a can of Sterno. A neat concept, but constant flare ups from dripping graese cause excessively high flames and charring. It will never replace the experience or taste of true charcoal gtilling. This product sears the food and does not impart a true grilled taste.

Our first response was to scoff at the solid state fuel source for grilling but after reading the package we decided to try it out. I am an avid grill person and love to cook outdoors at every chance I can. After reading the instructions I opened the cardboard packaging and removed the "disk". I removed the metallic cover (I had a little trouble with it at first) and placed it in my Weber charcoal grill. I noticed that the packaging states that the "Flamedisk" needs four minutes before it is ready to cook food, however the product seems to need more like eight to ten minutes to reach optimal temperature. After the grill was hot enough I started to cook some sausage and hotdogs. I must say the "Flamedisk" worked great and cooked the food quickly with no after taste. Clean-up was a cinch (the "Flamedisk" took a bit longer than 45 minutes to cool completely) as I picked up the used disk and put it into the trash. I am fully impressed with the "Flamedisk" and will recommend it to my family and friends. Thanks! Great product! While in the supermarket recently, my wife and I noticed the “Flamedisk” on display.
