I LOVE my Tembo Tusk for traveling... its light, simple and compact but the Moab Rim being permanently set up at the house is replacing my BBQ grill.
Tembo tusk, who has one?

We love our skottle. We have the coleman stove, but never use it. We cook everything on our skottle!

I didn't purchase the Tembo Tusk. I bought a larger version of it. Can't wait to try it out.

Nice piece, I'd love to have a larger one like that but went with skottle for portability/space factor. This one looks like it can cook a meal for 10 or more!

Do you all recommend an adapter hose to be able to use a 20 lb LP tank with the Coleman single burner? Something like this... I have a 20 lb tank at home which doesn't see any use since I prefer charcoal grilling. I don't see lugging it around when we camp so I'll probably want to pick up a 5 lb tank. Are the fittings the same on a 20 lb vs a 5 lb?
Yes, you can use a 20lb propane tank with the Skottle burner. It will take an adapter readily available at Home Depot, Lowes, any trailer supply company or even an adapter from Mr. Buddy Heaters. Many people do this. The adapter is for a Coleman burner or stove. Don’t buy the $10 ones on Amazon. Pay at least $20 for a better quality adapter hose.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check out the local brick and mortar first. Do you know if the fittings are the same on the 20 lb vs the 5 lb tanks?
Hey guys, been looking into a Tembo and curious about a couple things...
First, how much does the full size kit weigh? I’ve seen that the smaller 12 inch version only weighs like 3 lbs but can’t find definite weigh on the 18 inch...
Also wondering if anyone has used a bigger burner for it than the 10k BTU? I like doin stir fry type cooking and think maybe a 20k might work better. Anyone?

I can weigh mine for you when I get home. As far as the burner is concerned, 10k is more than enough for the skottle. A common mistake is actually turning up the heat too high. Definitely preheat on med-high and use some cooking oil and cook on medium heat.
Hey sorry I got distracted and then totally forgot about this. Including the legs and a Coleman propane bottle or two, it weighs approximately 20 lbs in the carry bags.
