Why Add a Lid to Your Standard Skottle?
The Tembo Tusk Skottle Grill Lid is a simple accessory that meaningfully expands what your standard Skottle can do. Without a lid, the Skottle is an open cooking surface — excellent for searing, stir-frying, and griddling, but limited when it comes to steaming, melting, braising, or holding heat. Adding the lid traps heat and moisture, which lets you steam vegetables, warm tortillas, melt cheese, speed up cook times in cold weather, and keep food warm while you prep the rest of a meal.
This lid is designed for the standard Tembo Tusk Skottle Grill only — it does not fit the Adventure Skottle, which uses its own smaller lid. The stainless steel construction is durable and easy to clean, and the hanging loop keeps it accessible without taking up prep space. If you want to further upgrade this lid, the Collapsible Skottle Lid Handle is a popular aftermarket upgrade that replaces the stock Bakelite handle with a more durable, collapsible alternative that stores flat in your carry bag.

Key Features
🥘
Expands Cooking Versatility
Steam vegetables, braise proteins, melt toppings, and keep food warm — the lid unlocks techniques that an open Skottle surface alone cannot achieve.
🔩
Stainless Steel Build
Constructed from stainless steel for long-lasting durability that holds up to regular outdoor use, camp grime, and high heat without degrading.
🪡
Hanging Loop Included
Features a built-in loop so you can hang the lid off your setup when it is not covering the grill, keeping your cooking area clear and the lid off the ground.
✅
Standard Skottle Fit
Sized specifically for the standard Tembo Tusk Skottle Grill with a 13-inch wide by 3.5-inch deep usable area. Not designed for the Adventure Skottle.
The Standard Skottle Lid — Made for the Full-Size Skottle Grill
This is the lid for the standard Tembo Tusk Skottle Grill — the original, full-size model. If you have the smaller Adventure Skottle, that model uses a separate 9-inch lid with a pop-up knob. This standard lid measures 13 inches wide by 3.5 inches deep, sized to sit flush over the full cooking surface of the standard Skottle.
The lid ships with a heat-resistant Bakelite handle that lets you lift and remove it safely while cooking. A popular upgrade is the Collapsible Skottle Lid Handle — a USA-made replacement handle that collapses flat for compact storage inside your carry bag and is more durable than the stock Bakelite option.

How to Use the Skottle Lid
Steam Vegetables
Add a small amount of water or broth to the Skottle surface, place vegetables in the center, and cover with the lid to steam quickly at camp.
Melt & Finish
Cover proteins and dishes during the final minutes of cooking to melt cheese or finish braised dishes without drying them out.
Keep Food Warm
Place the lid over finished food while you finish preparing the rest of your meal — traps heat and moisture to keep everything ready to serve.
Use the Bakelite handle to safely lift and set the lid aside. When the lid is not in use, hang it from your setup using the built-in hanging loop to keep your camp kitchen organized. The lid is compatible only with the standard Tembo Tusk Skottle Grill — not the Adventure Skottle.
Want a more packable handle option? The Collapsible Skottle Lid Handle is a USA-made upgrade that swaps out the Bakelite handle for a design that collapses flat and fits inside your Skottle carry bag.
