Where to order Tembo Tusk Skottle (in stock)?

[peepers]

Headed out camping for the next 3 weekends and wanted to pick up a Tembo Tusk. I can't find one in stock, ready to ship anywhere. Does anyone know where I might be able to pick one up in short order?

I've beat the hell out of various Google searches and haven't found one yet. Please help.

I bought mine last spring from www.jackcovers.com which is now www.step22gear.com
I got the upgraded black colored bag, cover for the Skottle when outdoors, windshield for the burner, and the domed lid to seal in the juices when cooking.

The above is the kit I have, and it does look like Tembo Tusk is out of stock for a bit.
Could be on account of Expo Overland East that ended last weekend, I bet a lot were bought.
It states end of October, you could get a hold of Jerry too at Tembo Tusk to nail it down when they will be shipping again.

Just an FYI

Tembo Tusk is introducing a new shorter version. Write up in issue 23 of new September/October Outdoor X4, 12 inches tall and 12 inches dia. Uses the MSR Dragonfly stove so might be good for bikers and other light weight camper/travelers.
Cost is $260.....

I built my own and made it so that it works well sitting on a table top and also works on the ground where you can just sit in your camp chair and cook. Ron

Thanks for the help folks. I ended up going with this option:

While not as versatile as the skottle, I can at least grill up shichkabob and what not. Also, I'll just use the cast iron skillet on top for eggs in the AM.

Pricey little item, but then anything that works and satisfies your needs is good. my issue is that it is a fire and often I camp where no fires are allowed so the propane cookers work the best for me as the rangers have no issue with them.

Amazing how well propane campfires are accepted as well.

I gave up on the skottle, as a wok works better and a skillet is by far more versatile.

Call Expedition Exchange, they still might have some for sale.

If you have the room, this is better and cheaper than a skottle....

Nifty bit of kit, but not really the same animal at all, since the flat griddle with a drain hole will not cook the same kinds of wet-foods that the dish of a skottle will.

But this isn't the thread to debate the merits of the Skottle or competitors. To the OP: TemboTusk announced in IG this week that all the skottle models are back in stock. Check their webpage directly!

Of course it will, with the addition of a simple flat pot placed onto the cook top... Anything you can do on a skottle can be done on a griddle but the griddle can do it better.

Ya beat me to it
I saw Jerry announce that too earlier today on IG.

I think the Skottle rocks, or I would not be using it nearly every weekend since I got it last spring.
And I agree, with the dish being curved, it holds a lot of juice that comes off of the food.

This was from a few weeks back.
I always make extra so I have some for the first few days at work for lunch.
