Just another one for the display, this looks excellent and I can't wait to knock up a few stews/soups in it.

Just go in and fleece it Muzz! Tell him anything, just get it & don't take no for an answer. Try to bribe your Sister, that can work too. ;)

I saw one of those on ebay. They wanted a bit for it. Mostly like my ovens for camping, so I'll wait until I can talk the minister into a fire pit at home to look at something like that. Would like to give one a try all the same, good pickup Skip.

Thats another beauty Skip. I could just see it full of soup or other comfort food.

I'm sorta getting attached to this Potjie. It reminds me a bit of a Witch's Cauldron. I might try and whip up a potion or antidote for this cast iron affliction we all seem to suffer with :)
Here she is in all her night clothing. Two goes in the BBQ is all that was required she really took the seasoning well.

Friends,
       Just in case your interested, there is a lady in Stafford Brisbane that imports these Pots from South Africa. She trades under "SATOOZ"-have a look ;D ;D
http://www.satooz.com/   and look under Potjie Pots. ;D ;D

Interesting site.  What did you think of the Bake Pot.

I think it looks great and I also think you should get one. I bought 2 of the Potjies (swapped one for the Furphy 12") and freight was only $8.80 to the coast & same day.

Regards Skip

Buy buy buy  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for that Skip...will get one..very soon.
Skip what sort of oil do you use for seasoning?
Muzz

I only use Olive Oil Muzz. I also find rubbing the oil into the iron with a paper towel is the best for me. I do the seasoning thing twice in the BBQ at about 400 Deg F I know this is more than recommended but I reckon it's the best finish that I've found. If the pot has been seasoned before & a bit crappy I cremate it in the BBQ at about 550-600 deg until it is all burnt off and is waiting to be redone. A quick wire brush is all that is required. Then off you go.

Regards Skip

Thanks Skip
I have been using pressure pack spray on oil.... I think (and looking at yours) it is not concentrated (or pure enough) to give an even coating..thank you for your tips...can you do a step by step instructions.. under a different heading and a few photos..
Thanks Muzz  

Will do Muzz, I have a new pot ;D coming tomorrow and will report on the process that I use! Stay posted.

Interesting website from South Africa.  http://funkymunky.co.za/potjiekos.html  Check out his recipes.  The sheeps head looks cool.  ;D ;D ;D

Look at the size of the Potjie on the front page.

Here is a company that sells them in South Africa http://www.biltongmakers.com/

The biggest mother of all weighs 85 kgs, holds 95 litres and sells for around $480 AUD.  :o

Grouse site-bloody big pots hey!
I am cooking a curry/stewy sort of thing tomorrow night in the Potjie. I am all set to buy the number 4.I've been trying to talk myself out of it but I'm not sure that I can. ;D
The potjie seems to be a very versatile pot that will suit Aussies well. Have you ever made anything in one Derek?

All the best
Skip

I don't own one yet and am very reluctant to start buying them. Once you do you never know where it will lead.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You only need one mate :)
