Meet the Bushman Fire Potjie Cooker β€” Inspired by Tradition, Built for Adventure

Deep in the Kalahari, the San people β€” known as the Bushmen β€” mastered a way of life centred around fire, warmth and survival. They carried their fire with them wherever they travelled.
This ancient knowledge inspired a modern marvel:
πŸ”₯ The Bushman Fire Potjie Cooker β€” a rugged, reliable, economical cooking system designed for the wild, the backyard, and everywhere in between.


πŸ”₯ A Cooker Built on Tradition & Toughness

Crafted from durable mild steel and lined with volcanic rock, the Bushman Fire isn’t your average outdoor cooking unit.
The volcanic-rock insulation traps heat like a natural oven, delivering stable cooking power for hours β€” without needing constant replenishment.

This clever design means:
βœ… Up to 4–6 hours of cooking using just 500g of charcoal briquettes
βœ… Complete heat insulation
βœ… Lower fuel consumption (saving time and money)

It's a smarter, fuss-free way to cook outdoors.

Whether you’re preparing a nostalgic potjie or testing a new campfire recipe, the Bushman Fire adapts beautifully.

Use it with:
🍲 Potjies
πŸ”₯ Dutch ovens
🍳 Pans
βš’οΈ Woks
πŸ₯˜ Skillets
πŸ₯£ Pots
β˜• Even a kettle

From stews to stir-fries to boiling water for your morning coffee, this cooker does it all.


🚚 Portability That Goes Anywhere

The Bushman Fire Potjie Cooker is fully portable β€” a true companion for adventurers.

Set it up on any surface, including grass, sand, concrete… even plastic.
No scorching, no melting, no mess.

Take it camping, to the bush, on fishing weekends, to the beach, or simply to the backyard for a relaxed Saturday potjie.
Where you go, your fire goes.
