Matador at Rural King
« on: December 16, 2017, 12:51:34 PM »
Stopped by my local Rural King to pick up some LumbarJack and was surprised to see Rec Tec's newest grill offering...the Matador.  For those not familiar the Matador is a simple gas fired wok style grill.  Can also be used as a deep fryer per Rec Tec's videos.   

I was surprised at the size of the main wok pan.  It's huge!  I could see myself getting this to add to my outside grilling arsenal.
I'm also glad to see Rec Tec getting into the brick & mortar stores.

Here are a couple pics I took.

Looks like you could make a nice paella in that.

They've posted a few videos on Facebook of it in use.  Looks pretty cool.

I am a good cook, but I do not create so I am not a Chef...Not even sure what I would use this for to cook, other then mass amounts of soups or stews or the afore mentioned Spanish dish!

If any of you was given this, what would you cook in it?

I don't get it.  Wouldn't a wok on a turkey fryer server the same purpose?

Sure..... but that wouldn't make RecTec any money. [ Invalid Attachment ]

Unfortunately the pan is stainless rather than carbon steel, so it is not the best choice for paella.

I'm with Lew, I don't get it.  I would rather have a solid stand alone burner for cast iron, seafood, fried turkey, wok or discada cooking.

You would not get quite as even a heat from SS, but you certainly could use it for that.

It's very similar to a turkey fryer but taller.  Maybe stainless steel is more forgiving than carbon steel for outdoor use?

I like that it's portable, so if you go tailgating or even camping it might come in handy. I agree though, I would rather use a fryer or a wok at home.

I saw these today at rural king. They looked pretty good. A little heavy and less portable that these fire discs they sell at the hardware store. I think if my main goal was portability I'd rather have the fire disc



Also, always kind of liked the mojoe griddle
