The Tembo Tusk Skottle is one of the most recognizable camp cooking systems in the overland world.

Each kit arrives pre-seasoned with the burner, legs, and carry bag you need to cook on your first night out.

What Is a Tembo Tusk Skottle?
The Tembo Tusk Skottle is a portable, disc-style outdoor cooking system built for overlanding, camping, and vehicle-based travel. Instead of a narrow burner grate, you cook on a broad pre-seasoned disc that gives you one large surface for an entire meal.
A complete kit pairs that disc with a propane burner, adjustable legs that collapse for transport, and a carry bag. The legs adjust for uneven ground, so the Skottle sets up level at a dispersed campsite as easily as it does on a driveway.
Tembo Tusk fabricates the Skottle in the USA, and the original design is covered by US Patent 9,993,112. It is the piece most Tembo Tusk camp kitchens are built around.
Why Choose a Tembo Tusk Skottle?
One Surface, Full Meals
The wide cooking disc lets you run eggs, bacon, vegetables, and proteins at the same time, so you can feed a group without juggling multiple pans.
Packs Down for the Trail
Legs collapse and the whole system stores in the included carry bag, so the Skottle fits into a drawer system, cargo area, or roof box between trips.
Pre-Seasoned and Ready
Every Skottle kit ships pre-seasoned with a burner and adapter included, so there is no extra shopping list before your first cook.

Tembo Tusk Skottle FAQ
What is the Tembo Tusk Skottle?
The Skottle is a portable outdoor cooking system built around a pre-seasoned disc cooking surface on adjustable legs, paired with a propane burner. It is designed for overlanding, camping, and vehicle-based travel.
What is the difference between the Skottle Grill Kit and the Adventure Skottle?
The Skottle Grill Kit uses an 18-inch disc with adjustable legs that lock at 29 or 36 inches, which suits group cooking and base camps. The Adventure Skottle uses a 12-inch cast iron surface and stands 12.5 inches tall with legs installed, making it a better fit for smaller rigs and lighter packing.
Do I need to season a new Skottle before using it?
No. Tembo Tusk Skottle kits ship pre-seasoned and are ready to cook on out of the box. Ongoing care is similar to cast iron, so keeping the surface oiled after cleaning helps maintain it.
What accessories should I add to my Skottle first?
Common first upgrades are a lid, a wind guard, and a table top or leg table for prep space. You can browse the full range on our Tembo Tusk Accessories page.
