We’ve cooked with a lot of different gear over the years, but the LifeSpace Cast Iron #1/4 African Potjie Pot 2-Pack has quickly become a staple in our live fire cooking kit. Right out of the box we cleaned and seasoned these pots like we do with all our cast iron, and they’ve only gotten better with every cook.

What really sets these potjies (aka mini pots) apart is the built-in legs. They let you set the pot directly into coals or right over burnt-down wood without worrying about it tipping or becoming unbalanced – a big win when you’re working in a live fire setup instead of a stovetop. We also found these are excellent starter tools to help learn live fire cooking process…especially learning how much heat is too much or not enough with the different dishes you are preparing.

We’ve put these straight over charcoal heat and smoldering wood embers, and they perform beautifully. They’re rugged, hold heat like a champ, and the cast iron flavor that is revealed is unmatched after several different cooking sessions.

Chili and super-easy soups have been our go-to test dishes, and these pots nail them every time. But honestly? There’s no limit to what you can create — from stews to beans to one-pot feasts for a crowd.

If you’re building a live-fire cooking setup that’s versatile and tough, these potjies deserve a spot next to your kettle and Dutch oven. You can find these here https://bit.ly/4qULPN0. Here’s a video that shows a better look as well: https://youtu.be/hWUWd_hQVII?si=dGUwjQSG66eLd2NN
