Whats your cooking source

[South_Puget_Sound_OL]

So I've been using an old Coleman twin burner white gas. 2 years ago I picked one up in propane. I would love to find one of those wok style propane set ups with legs but I don't want to break the bank or know were to look. Any of the OB family know where to look?

Cabala’s, Big 5, Dicks, Amazon, eBay, just to name a few places.

Do an internt search for 'DIY Skottle'. They are fairly simple to build. A DIY one will cost about $65 as opposed to $200 - $400 brand new. Used ones seem to go for around $150.

There are actually a few threads on here that talk about building your own. Some will call them 'cowboy cooker' or 'cowboy wok'.

I’m guessing the horseshoes gave it away.

Nice... you should post the thread link.

Following is the main one I was thinking of, as well as a more recent build and others. There is a rather massive thread on here - somewhere - that showcases several DIY versions of it. One is absolutely massive and intended to be used for a crowd.

Homemade skottle

This was today's project. I picked up an 18" disc blade at a agricultural dealership since I don't have access to used ones anymore. These things have gone up in price, $30 and they have a thick paint job now. I sandblasted the disc on both sides, then cut a piece to fill in the hole. Then I...

Homemade portable skottle

I made this out of a plow disc and some scrap I had lying around today. It seems to work pretty good. I put a windshield around the burner that helps it heat up a lot faster! I’ll be cooking with it in Silverton this weekend.

On the fence - push me over: buy or build a skottle?

Totally a first-world moment here. :wink: I'm waffling on whether I should just buy a new Skottle (love the idea, would get over the price/don't like the price)...or if I should build a Skottle (I like building things (I build guitars), price is much better). I tend to prefer things to be...

Alot of Mexican markets and flea markets sell them also. We called them discos. My family's had one since I was a kid

Partner Steel 1 burner stove, small griddle, and 5lb small propane tank. Small, compact, sturdy, but pricey.

I love my partner stove, they are the best. A Scotty is not a wok, to get the btu’s you need for a wok is hard for commercial stove. A wok needs tons of heat.

Soon to be Skottle, one pan for all your cooking and easy clean-up. I will use my Jetboil for Coffee and Soup only. I used to use a 2 burner Coolman, but when you cook burgers or greasy food it is a pain in the you know what to clean.

In 1983, I bought a 2 burner Coleman stove as my father had used a similar one for the family for many years past. After using mine for a couple of years, I purchased a propane replacement generator for it, because of the EASE of use on cold mornings. The convenience was night and day better. I used it with a Coleman 'TREE' along with a lantern set on top for ease of cooking and general camp lighting. It's been a nice camp combo ever since.

I keep the original red tank, stored with it, for back-up, thus having a redundancy while in the boonies. White gas is very stable (sealed), unlike unleaded in multi-fuel setup equipment. This avoids fuel additives (around cooking) and ethanol issues with long term storage.

The Bayou Classic 7488 shows up on Amazon from time to time @ $25-30. My Coleman 533 single burner fits nicely under it as a heat source when cooking on a picnic table and I've also used it over a bed of campfire embers. I still prefer my old liquid fuel 413E Coleman with Lodge frying pan and/or griddle.

I can't seem to find it in me to replace the old stuff I've been using for years. I actually bought a newer Coleman stove to replace this one because it's getting a little bit worn out, but ended up getting rid of it because it just wasn't to same. Ended up just replacing all of the seals end parts needed on the old one and have been continuing to use it.

I have one of these.. Good stove to have.

Just like my air fryer I am still trying to figure out what my use cases would be for a skottle. I'm just not used to cooking a variety of food on a wok-type or air fryer type setup. So I just have a single burner propane/butane camping stove. I also have a Camp Chief dual burner grill setup.
