Kalahari Potjie Cooker is a charcoal cooker, which is designed to be economical, durable and practical. It is manufactured using volcanic ash liner, which insulates heat inside the cooker and concentrates the heat on the cooking utensil with minimum heat loss. With a minimum amount of charcoal, the cooker manages to retain heat for up to 8 hours. It is much easier to use than an open fire heat source and temperature regulation is more effective because of liner retaining heat in combination with 2 air vents to control charcoal burn rate.

It can be used with potjies, frying pans, pots and woks. The Kalahari Potjie Cooker is easy to use, economical, safe, and portable, even when in use.
