The Skottle is 18" wide and 4" thick in the middle. The slot should be at least an inch or two bigger to make access easier.
Interesting name that. If you google it, you will find 'skottel'. It is Afrikaans for a dished plow ( skottel skaar ) and apparently this dish was removed from the plow ( or a spare one used ) and used to prepare food on in the fields. Cadac makes a very nice butane gas powered one very similar to the skottle and one tends yo under use it, but it is very handy
Well, it is TemboTusk Skottle Thursday!

Fried Apple Turnovers
From our friends at Blueridge Overland Gear
We’ve tried for a while now to come up with an original dessert for the TemboTusk Skottle. Something as easy to make on the trail as it is delicious.
So here is our version of an apple turnover. It only takes a few ingredients and a few minutes to make a dessert that’s sure to be a be a hit with all your favorite trail-blazers. While we used apples, canned peaches, cherries or blueberries would work just as nicely.
*Important note: We used canned fried apples in an attempt to simplify your trail cooking process. Feel free to use fresh apples. Just remember to peel, chop and cook them on the Skottle Grill ahead of time. If you aren’t using per-sweetened, canned fruit, throw in some cinnamon and sugar while simmering.
What you’ll need:
8″ flour tortillas – one per person
1 – 15 oz. can* or 1 lb. of fresh apples; prepared as mentioned above. (Apples cook down, so if you are using fresh apples, you’ll need about one apple per person).
*Important note: One 15oz. can of apples makes about three turnovers
1 stick of butter, softened.
Mildly flavored cooking oil as needed, such as vegetable or canola
Granulated table sugar and cinnamon to taste
Optional: serve a la mode – Top each turnover with a scoop of vanilla ice cream when serving.
The Process:
Place a few tablespoons of oil in the center of the Skottle and heat on a lower heat setting.
Place canned or fresh apples in the center of grill and Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Cook until tender.
Push apples to the outer rim of the Skottle to keep warm.
Add a small amount of cooking oil to the juices and cinnamon that are already in the Skottle from cooking the apples.
Coat one side of a flour tortilla with softened butter *Important note: One thing we didn’t consider until our second batch of turnovers: Before placing tortillas on Skottle, use fingers to dampen the outer edges of the tortilla just slightly with water (don’t soak the tortilla or it won’t stick). This allows you to press and seal the edges of the turnover with a spatula so that all the apple goodness inside doesn’t spill out when you flip them. Live an learn, right?
Place tortilla directly in center of Skottle when the oil is bubbling again.
Using a spatula, cover half of the tortilla with apple mixture.
Cook until one side of the tortilla is golden. Flip over with spatula and cook until the other side is also golden.
Place on a plate and top with vanilla ice cream.

We have a new recipe from our friends at Blueridge Overland Gear.
Brown sugar Ham
– What you’ll need:
Thick sliced, precooked ham, cut into 2″ pieces
Dark brown sugar
1 stick of butter
This part is pretty easy. Put skottle on a low heat setting. Place a couple slices of stick butter in the middle. When the butter is melted and bubbling, drop in ham slices. Cover each piece of ham with a dusting of brown sugar. Sizzle ham in brown sugar and butter until browned.
The meal can be served with Cheesy Hashbrowns and biscuits.

I used to use Mason jar lids for the eggs but I found something a gazillion times better...... onion rings! Find a nice sweet onion and slice the center section out to make the right size onion ring. Lay it in the pan and crack your egg into it. Flavor plus you don't have to fight the threads on the Mason jar lid. Enjoy!!
Myquestoyota, Great Idea with the onion rings! Will have to try it!
I have seen people cut the top and bottom out'a a tuna can. Got some eggs done that way while on a party boat, rock fishing off of Cali.
Yes, that is Pop Corn in the TemboTusk Skottle!
Coat the pan in oil and pour in the pop corn kernels.
Set to low heat and cover with a Skottle Lid.
Grab one leg and shake the Skottle to keep the kernels moving.
In one and half minutes you will have Pop Corn to share!

Is there a promo code for MUD members for a skottle on the Blue Ridge Overland Gear website? I'm a little late but would love this for a Father's Day gift
And Cruise,
Don't know if they have a promo code, you will need to talk to Blue Ridge Overland Gear.
Don't know if they have a promo code, you will need to talk to Blue Ridge Overland Gear.
One of the guys I went wheeling with this weekend had one of these. Definitely adding to my future purchase list.
NoOneBetter, You won't regret it! You'll never eat better camping!
I know this is an old tread but I purchased a Skottle at the NW Overland Rally and used it while I was there. I had brought a Camp Chef 2 burner stove and a BBQ box. After the purchase, I never used the Camp Chef stove again. I have used the skottle at home instead of my gas grill also. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

Nice to know, like I need one more thing to cook on. We were scheduled to attend the Rally but plans changed at the last minute. How was the overall experience? Do it again?
Absolutely! Next year for sure and maybe the BC Overland Rally the next weekend. Great vendors, great people and a great time. (Sorry for the highjack)
