12 FIREDISC Cookers Disrupts the Portable Cooker Market Black Friday was the biggest shopping day of 2019, and the makers of FIREDISC® Cookers were among those who benefited. The company sold out of its flagship Fireman Red Original portable cookers and announced at the beginning of December that customers would have to be satisfied with its Black and Brick Red cookers until the company could restock Fireman Red in February. In 2010, armed with a plow disc from a tractor and a welding shop for hire, Griff and Hunter Jaggard set out to design an entirely new category of cooker that was portable yet bullet-proof, and could out- cook and outlast any other gas cooker on the market. Out of that passion and perseverance to create a high-tech outdoor cooking innovation, the first FIREDISC was born. Now, almost 10 years later, FIREDISC ranks among the country's fastest-growing private companies. "Since being introduced to the FIREDISC in 2016, my enthusiasm about this cooker and the food I prepare on it continues to grow," said Willy Braun, lead singer of the Grammy-winning group, Reckless Kelly. "FIREDISC Cookers are heating up across the country and these guys are continuing to revolutionize the outdoor cooking marketplace with their innovative product line." Many outdoor enthusiasts across the country seem to agree, as sales of FIREDISC Cookers are spreading from the initial south Texas market to 44 states spanning both U.S. coasts. Company Founders Griff and Hunter Jaggard have answered the needs of anglers, hunters, campers, and tailgaters who want to easily prepare quick meals for large groups anywhere in the outdoors by delivering this efficient and highly portable cooking platform. This growth has also allowed the company to expand its "give back" philosophy. Today, the company not only helps provide for MS research and support, FIREDISC Cookers also helps raise funds for many other national foundations dedicated to assisting medical research and aiding those in need.
