Primus CampFire Stainless Steel Stock Pot 5L

The Primus CampFire Stainless Steel Stock Pot 5L is a food-grade 18/8 stainless steel camp pot built for open-fire cooking and camp stove use, sized to feed a full group with room for seconds. The folding bail handle, integrated colander lid with leather pull tab, and included cotton storage sack make it a complete, packable solution for group camp cooking.

Built for Open Fire and Camp Stove Alike

The Primus CampFire Pot 5L is constructed from food-grade 18/8 stainless steel, which tolerates direct flame without leaching flavors or degrading over seasons of use. The same pot that hangs over a campfire grate on Friday night can sit on a camp stove burner Saturday morning, with no separate cookware needed for different heat sources.

A Lid That Does Two Jobs

The lid on the CampFire Pot 5L includes an integrated colander, so draining pasta or rinsing vegetables happens in the pot itself rather than with a separate piece of gear. The leather pull tab lets you lift the lid without a hot pad, a small detail that matters when the pot is full and the fire is still going.

Ready to Pack Without Cleaning the Rest of Your Kit

The included cotton storage sack keeps campfire soot and food residue contained after cooking, so the pot stows in a pack or bin without marking other gear. The large bail handle folds flat when not in use, reducing the pot's footprint during transport and storage.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Primus CampFire Pot 5L suits group campers, overlanders, and car campers who cook large-batch meals (soups, stews, pasta) over an open fire or a camp stove and want a single pot that handles both heat sources and packs cleanly.

This pot is not a solo or ultralight option; the 5L capacity and stainless steel construction are sized and weighted for group cooking, not minimalist backpacking. Fuel and a gas canister are not included.

Common Questions

Can the Primus CampFire Pot 5L be used directly over an open campfire?

Yes. The Primus CampFire Pot 5L is made from food-grade 18/8 stainless steel and is designed for direct open-fire use. The folding bail handle allows the pot to hang over a fire grate, and the same pot works on a camp stove burner when an open fire is not available.

What does the lid's integrated colander do?

The lid of the Primus CampFire Pot 5L includes built-in colander holes, allowing you to drain water directly through the lid without a separate strainer. A leather pull tab on the lid lets you lift it safely while the pot is hot, without needing a separate hot pad or cloth.

What is included with the Primus CampFire Pot 5L?

The Primus CampFire Pot 5L includes the pot, its integrated colander lid, and a cotton storage sack. The storage sack keeps campfire soot and food residue contained so the pot can be packed with other gear without marking it. Fuel and a gas canister are not included.

How does the handle work during transport?

The Primus CampFire Pot 5L has a large bail-style metal handle that folds down flat against the pot when not in use, reducing its profile for packing. When cooking, the handle can be raised to hang the pot over a fire or to carry it.
