Anyone bought a TemboTusk Skottle and have a recommendation on the best price retailer? Do Overland Bound members get any sort of discount? @administrator @TemboTusk

Thanks, I knew the price through Tembo Tusk. I was asking if anyone had found a good deal or discounts through other vendors, of it you (@administrator ) had finagled a discount for us Overland Bound Members or Contributors. I want to order on for my trip to Florida in February. Thanks!
[EDIT] The killer is shipping! I'm finding prices of $50-55 to ship a $125 item, which is crazy!

I have had luck in the past calling the vendor directly and asking about potentially free shipping or a discounted rate, just say "I really would like to buy it from you but the shipping is a killer!!" Has worked for me numerous times, I think I am on about a 60% success rate on it lol Used it on a tire/wheel package that they wanted $150 to ship, I got them to do free shipping and mount/balance the tires on the rims before they ship them.

Best price for the full kit I found was from Road Truckers, at $209 plus $20 shipping.

My @TemboTusk Skottle arrived today. I got the full kit, which includes the Skottle, the Blue Ridge Overland Gear carry bags, and the Coleman single-burner stove. Wow, is that a nice setup, and the packaging was superb! (I did quite a bit of packaging design in a previous life.) It uses the 1 pound propane bottles I have in the gear shelf in the garage, so I'm all set there. If I find I use it a lot, I might see splurging for one of those 5 pound bottles discussed in another thread.
I can already taste that shrimp on the beach during our upcoming Florida trip! Thanks for introducing us to these, @administrator

Those Skottle prices are criminal hipster nonsense. Pick up a King Kooker propane wok rig and a shallow carbon steel wok to fit. Should be less than $80USD.

Do they usually sell these at the Overlander Expos? The shipping is just crazy high. Since I will be going to the one on the East Coast, I can just wait to get one if this is the case.
