Did you keep the dimensions of your adapter plate, for easier reproduction later? (the 3 hole pattern mostly)

Yea, are we gonna "Swag" these as a diy kit?

 

[Herzog]

Added some gusset tabs that I had laying around to keep the burner from floating around too much, this could be resolved by making the inner hole about that much smaller, but easy fix even though it wasn't necessary.
You can also see the wind block I added here

Works great! I heated up the dish to see how fast and how hot it would get. This is gonna be fun to use.

I was worried that the leg angles weren't steep enough to make it stable but it's really stable, no worries there.

Cheers.

You're now ready to enter the highest kingdom of Overlanding. Celestial Cuisine be upon you.

I feel like this thread is missing pictures with food in it. The one from @Hickey isn't cutting it. You have to really SHOW me why I need one.

 

[Herzog]

This thing rules!

 

[H-K]

Damn that looks tasty. I always see these things called "skottles" for sale on overland gear sites. Theheck's the difference between those and your creation?

About $200 and this one will cook better.

A Skottle is a thin disc like the one I built earlier in this thread. The center gets too hot and will burn food too easy. The disc herzog used is thick cast iron and will spread the heat more evenly.

 

[Herzog]

The center on this cast iron still does get hotter than the outer for obvious reasons but it definitely spreads the heat out better. Start things in the middle and slowly move them outward as you add more ingredients then finally mix it all together.

I do get the hype about the skottle now. But I still don’t get the $300 price tag for the popular brand.

Branding x Overlanding = $$$$$

Thats exactly what this thread was missing @Herzog. I hope it tasted as good as it looks.

That kiitos in the background is pretty good for a fruity beer. The old lady has been drinking it lately and it’s the go to when I run out.

That's an imperial red, more of an amber. Besides bewilder, kittos is a staple in my house besides tf on the small side

 

[Herzog]

Def an Amber. I love Amber Ales.

So where does a guy go to buy the adapter plate and some legs? I'm about to order the plate and I'm pretty sure I already have the burner from boy scout days of yore.

Yeah @Herzog , where does he get things like that?

 

[nnnnnate]

Seriously. I'm going to Palisades on the 22nd and need one by then.

 

[Herzog]

Yea I guess I better get to draw'n that up huh.

 

[Hickey]

The plate does come with some shorter legs. Go ahead and order it for now, and cut a few blocks of wood to space it up high enough for the burner and bottle to sit under it.

File is ready to cut whenever you're ready. 🙂
