Anyone use a Skottle or an iKamper Disco?

I have the Skottle and love the cooking versatility. If you have used cast iron cookware, you are already a master outdoor chef. I use the Skottle while camping in the woods and at the beach. I cook most of our meals on the Skottle. Clean up is a breeze, just like cast iron. For fuel, I have used the small green 1# cans and the 20# tanks, both work great. I'm not familiar with the iKamper Disco. Good luck.

Thanks for the response.

The Disco (dumb name) is pretty much the same as a Skottle but with an enamel cast iron skillet instead of a standard cast iron. It supposedly makes clean up and maintenance much easier since it does not need to be seasoned.

iKamper is proud of their products and the Disco is no exception as it's $100+ more expensive than most Skottle's but it does have some cool and unique features.

Ahhh. Like cast iron, I seasoned the Skottle once and then lightly wipe the cook surface down with oil before putting it away. I'm confident that you can't go wrong with either. Give the Disco a try and keep the group posted as to your cooking success.

Cooking and success are 2 words that should never be used together when describing my cooking skills.. Unless nobody getting food poisoning is considered a cooking success. 😜

Just another option. I use one of these. same type of principal but the Disco is more like a wok than this. but you can cook just about anything on these.

Hey, that‘s called survival food! 😋 🥸

I know @SlashRacer was looking at the skottle but dang they are proud of that thing.

I got my Skottle just over a week ago. I’m still getting used to cooking on it.

I cooked for 4 people on it this past weekend. Cooking for 4 people on it can be challenging. I also used a camp stove with a frying pan.

The Skottle is 18” and the center 8-10” is where most of the heat is at. It was challenge cooking 4 ribeye steaks at once on it. The Philly cheese sandwiches wasn’t bad. I will adjust the meals to something smaller and easier to make.

I have also found if making scrambled eggs for a group of folks it was easier to scramble the 8 eggs then pour about a 1/4 on to the cooking surface and cook that till done then transfer to a plate then cook the next batch when that is done move it to the plate and so on. It seems to cook faster with far better results than pouring the whole batch in at once.

I am still kicking the idea of a Disco around.. I think I'll go with it as I am lazy and it does not need to be seasoned..

I won't be doing any off roading and camping for a few more months due to the weather but I will probably pick one up here in a few months..

I went ahead and ordered the iKamper Disco.. Yes it was more expensive than a Skottle but I really like the fact that the Disco (again, dumb name) does not need to be seasoned..

Hopefully the weather gets better soon and I can put this bad boy to use..

Well maybe not LOL..

iKamper and UPS do not know where the package is. iKamper says it was picked up by UPS on the 5th but UPS says they do not have the package..

iKamper said they have filed claim with UPS so I just told them to cancel the order and refund me. I'm not interested in waiting for UPS and iKamper to do their investigations on who lost, or stole, the shipment..

My guess is that iKamper never actually shipped it. While I could wait as I am not really in any rush to get, I think I'll just move on and call it a day..

Good grief, how hard can it be to pack, ship and deliver a package these days?
