What Is the Petromax Griddle & Fire Bowl?
This innovative tool combines a griddle plate and a fire bowl into one functional unit. Built from durable steel in Germany, it’s essentially a wide, shallow cooking surface with three detachable legs that let you either elevate the griddle above a fire or stack another griddle underneath for a contained campfire
Features & Advantages
Cooking Flexibility
Three heat zones: The center heats up more intensely—perfect for searing meats—while the outer edge remains cooler for vegetables or warming dishes.
Plancha-style cooking: Excellent for frying, grilling, or prepping multiple items simultaneously.
Fire Utility
Fire bowl mode: Stack two griddles (or use one with feet) to build a fire inside the lower bowl—ideal for warmth or ambiance—while maintaining a safe cooking surface above.
Protection for ground surfaces: Elevating the cooking surface prevents damage to grass or delicate terrain.
Practicality & Portability
Detachable legs: Each of the three legs is removable for effortless transport and storage.
Optional leg extensions: Available separately to increase the height and allow larger fires underneath.
Durable Construction
Material: Made from robust, weather-resistant steel that naturally develops a non-stick patina when seasoned.
Easy to maintain: After seasoning, the griddle heats quickly and is simple to cook
