Versatile, durable, portable outdoor cooking
You know, there's an undeniable allure to the call of the open road. The gravel crunching beneath your tires, the rush of wind through the open window, the scent of pine and fresh air. Every journey begins with a destination, but the real joy is found in the experiences along the way. And one of the quintessential elements of any adventure? Well, it's breaking bread together, enjoying a meal as the sun sets, a symphony of crickets providing the soundtrack.
Here's where the ORIS cooking system Skottle kit enters the narrative. It's the portable hearth, the hub around which laughter, stories, and maybe a little bit of that ghost pepper hot sauce get shared.
First off, the system is sturdy. Built like a proverbial tank, the ORIS stand is a testament to resilience and functionality. This hefty all-steel, powder-coated behemoth can support up to 150 pounds. That's a serious amount of weight for any culinary endeavor, whether you're whipping up a sizable pot of chilli to feed a small army of friends or grilling some mouth-watering steaks to celebrate reaching the summit.
The cooking surface itself is a versatile piece of cast-iron perfection. 17 inches of well-crafted griddle space that can be effortlessly detached via three thumb screws. It's a breeze to clean and even simpler to store. But what's most enchanting is the sheer range of meals you can prepare. Morning? Crackle some bacon, scramble some eggs. Evening? Stir-fry a chicken dinner that would put any restaurant to shame. This skottle kit lets you take your kitchen creativity with you, wherever you decide to roam.
What truly resonates with me is the ORIS system's roots in resourcefulness. A nod to South African farmers who, out of necessity, transformed their harrow discs into cooking surfaces. It's a humble beginning that has blossomed into a symbol of adventurous cooking, thanks in part to the popularity of Skottle grills on Instagram and at the Overland Expo. This system carries the spirit of adaptability and innovation inherent to a life on the road.
Whether you're an intrepid explorer, a camping enthusiast, or just someone who savors a good meal alfresco, the ORIS cooking system Skottle kit is a companion that will never let you down. It's compact, easy to transport, and ruggedly constructed, serving as the epitome of culinary freedom.
In my book, there's an unspoken rule about life: you should eat well, no matter where you are. The ORIS Skottle kit makes that rule so easy to follow, it's almost cheating.
Pros:
- Versatility: The ORIS Skottle kit is a Swiss Army Knife of culinary tools. You can sauté, grill, boil, and more all on one platform. That kind of flexibility is invaluable when you're out in the wild or simply enjoying a backyard cookout.
- Durability: With its heavy-duty steel construction, the ORIS Skottle kit is built to last. Whether you're on the trail or in the comfort of your backyard, this robust cooking system can withstand the elements and the test of time.
- Portability: With detachable legs and cooking surface, this kit is built to be on the move. From beach days to camping nights, the ORIS Skottle kit can accompany you with ease, adding gourmet capabilities to your outdoor adventure.
- Ease of Use and Maintenance: This system doesn't just deliver on the cooking front – it's also a breeze to set up, pack down, and clean, making your outdoor cooking experiences that much more enjoyable.
Cons:
- Price: At $299, the ORIS Skottle kit is a significant investment. While its quality and versatility might justify the cost for many, it's worth considering if this aligns with your budget and how often you'll use it.
- No Included Propane Bottle: You'll need to buy a propane bottle separately for this kit, adding an extra purchase to your list and possibly limiting your use of the kit if you can't get one in time.
- Potential for Rust: Despite its powder-coating, the steel structure of the ORIS Skottle kit could be vulnerable to rust if the coating is compromised. Proper care is essential to ensure its longevity.
- Size and Weight: The ORIS Skottle kit stands 32″ tall and its heavy-duty construction isn't exactly featherweight. While it's certainly portable, it may not be the best fit for more minimalist or lightweight camping setups.
- Heat Control: While the 10,000 BTU single burner can definitely bring the heat, finer temperature adjustments for more delicate or intricate cooking tasks may prove challenging.
