In typical cast iron fashion, it only tastes better the more you cook on it.
Whether it was scrambles for breakfast, orange chicken for dinner, or even spaghetti and meatballs, the Skottle cooked it all. Two meals later he was asking me how much my Skottle cost… From that point forward, the Skottle made every meal. “Besides he said, how are you going to cook in something that’s curved anyway?” Meanwhile I set up the Skottle in half the time it took him, and had it cleaned and was enjoying the fire while he was still trying to pull his grease trap out. When we first arrived at camp, my friend Austin immediately called out my “hipster wok.” After goading me, he began to set up his griddle, which he insisted was far superior to my hyped up disc. To assemble, simply slide the legs into the holes under the Skottle, secure them with the provided wing nuts, and slide the burner into place. It even has room for multiple propane bottles. If you ditch the legs, everything you need fits in the single Skottle carrying bag. It also comes with a neat little plastic stand that attaches to your propane bottle so you can forgo the legs for ultra compact traveling. Included in the kit is the pre-seasoned Carbon Steel Skottle, four legs and wing nuts, a Coleman style 10,000 BTU burner and well made carrying cases for the legs and Skottle. Along with their line of camping accessories, like fridge slides, Tembo Tusk offers the Skottle in two sizes: a 12” compact Adventure Skottle, and the 18” Skottle Grille kit, which is what we reviewed here. From seasoning to welding, it all happens in house at Tembo Tusk. He takes pride in creating an entirely American made product right in his own facility. He ran with the Skottle design and adopted it to the camping world. Tembo Tusk is a small Southern California company founded by owner Jerry L’Ecuyer. It’s like having pots, pans and a griddle all in one. If you’re really clever, you can even do things like boil pasta in the center while cooking chicken and veggies on the side.
From my really fast calculation a 22 inch disk provides about 125 inches more cooking area than an 18 inch disk.The concave form also means that meats cook in their own juices, yielding more flavor and better results. I know a lot of people on this forum like the Skottle, but at 18 inches how many people does it cook for? Has anyone had experience with both of them? Does one provide more benefits than the other? I want the versatility to be able to cook meals for 12-15 people, but when my family camps I normally cook for 4-8 people. I have a tundra, so space isn't an issue. The one thing I like about the Skottle is that it comes in a more compacted package. I also like that I can take the disk off the propane stand. Right now, I'm leaning more toward the southwest disk because they come in 22 inch and 24 inch sizes. It looks like they are comparable in price. I'm currently torn between the Southwest disk and the Tembo Tusk Skottle. I'm looking at camping stove options, and I'm sold on the skottle/discada system. I've been a Long time lurker, and this is my first post.
