What It Is
The Petromax Cast Iron Potato Roaster is a durable, double-halved cast-iron roaster that transforms your campfire into a rustic oven—no aluminum foil needed. It excels at baking potatoes, vegetables, or even small casseroles with rich, smoky flavor.
Smart Tilt-Lock Mechanism
A standout feature is its tilt-lock: as soon as you lift the roaster with a lid lifter, the halves clamp together firmly—keeping your food safely enclosed and preventing spills.
Built-In Top Heat Control
The raised rim on the lid doubles as a coal shelf, allowing you to place embers or briquettes for controlled top-down heat—perfect for browning or gratinating.
An integrated bar along the base ensures steady placement—whether buried in embers, resting on a grill, or used in the oven. It also prevents tipping when opening the roaster.
