The Tembo Tusk Adventure Skottle Grill Kit is the compact, all-in-one answer to camp cooking for overlanders, van lifers, and backyard chefs who want the full Skottle experience in a smaller, more packable format. Where the standard 18-inch Skottle is built for group cooking and base camps, the Adventure Skottle delivers the same cast iron cooking performance in a 12-inch format that fits tighter spaces and lighter rigs. The kit arrives pre-seasoned and ready to cook on day one — no seasoning required before your first meal. The included GSI Glacier Camp 10,000 BTU Stove with adapter provides plenty of heat, and the BlueRidge Overland Gear carry bag keeps everything organized for transport. If you are looking for a compact camp kitchen that handles breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between, this is it.

The 12-inch cast iron cooking surface arrives pre-seasoned and ready to use immediately — no prep needed before your first cook at camp.
The GSI Glacier Camp 10,000 BTU Stove with adapter is included in the kit, giving you consistent, powerful heat output right out of the box.
The BlueRidge Overland Gear carry bag is included so your entire kit travels together in one organized, protected package — ready to grab and go.
At just 12 inches across and 12.5 inches tall with legs installed, the Adventure Skottle fits easily in trucks, vans, and smaller rigs where the standard 18-inch Skottle would not.

The Adventure Skottle is not just a scaled-down version of the standard Skottle — it is a purpose-built compact cooker for people who move light and need gear that keeps up. The 12-inch pre-seasoned cast iron surface handles the same range of foods you would cook on a full-size Skottle: eggs, bacon, stir fry, sautéed vegetables, smash burgers, and more. Cast iron retains heat evenly across the surface and holds up to daily camp use without losing performance.
Maintenance is simple — wipe, oil, and store. Over time, the seasoning builds up and the cooking surface only improves. Pair it with the full range of Tembo Tusk Skottles or add Adventure Skottle accessories like the wind guard and lid to get even more from your kit.
The Adventure Skottle arrives pre-seasoned, so there is no need to season before your first use. Unpack the grill, attach the legs, connect the GSI stove with the included adapter, and you are ready to cook. The cast iron surface heats up quickly and holds temperature well, so you can move from cold to cooking in just a few minutes.
After cooking, let the surface cool, wipe it clean with a cloth or paper towel, apply a light coat of oil, and store in the carry bag. Regular use and proper oiling will only improve the non-stick surface over time. For questions, contact us and we will be happy to help.

The Adventure Skottle has a 12-inch cast iron cooking surface and stands 12.5 inches tall with legs installed. The standard Tembo Tusk Skottle has an 18-inch cooking surface and is larger overall. The Adventure is designed for overlanders and travelers who need a compact, packable option. Both use cast iron and work with a propane stove, but they use different accessories — the Adventure wind guard and lid are not interchangeable with standard Skottle accessories.
