Primus OpenFire Pan Large Open-Fire Grill and Griddle

The Primus OpenFire Pan Large is a three-layer stainless steel and aluminum open-fire cooking pan designed for camp cooking directly over a campfire or on any grill. Its three-layer construction (two outer layers of stainless steel bonded to an aluminum core) distributes heat evenly across the full cooking surface. The pan ships as a single variant weighing 9.7 lb with detachable legs included.

One Pan, Four Cooking Styles

The Primus OpenFire Pan Large handles wok-style stir fry, pan frying, grilling, and flat griddle cooking without swapping equipment. The rounded edges and slight center depression let you work eggs and pancakes on one side while searing a steak on the other, or run a full mixed breakfast across the surface at once. Fewer pieces to pack, fewer pieces to wash, and no decision about which pan to bring.

Even Heat Across the Whole Surface

The aluminum core between the two stainless steel layers conducts heat laterally so the edges of the OpenFire Pan Large stay nearly as hot as the center. Over an open fire where heat is uneven and directional, that matters: food cooks through rather than scorching in one spot while sitting cold in another. The stainless steel exterior resists corrosion and scratching and cleans without the seasoning maintenance that cast iron requires.

Legs That Work Two Ways

The detachable legs screw on to raise the OpenFire Pan Large directly over a fire without a separate grate. When attached from above rather than below, the same legs function as additional handles for moving the pan. The lug attachment point is designed to resist soot buildup, and the rectangular crosscut profile on each leg gives a positive grip when threading them on or off with camp-dirty hands. Remove the legs entirely and the pan packs down to 2 inches deep, flat enough to slide into a pack or cargo box alongside other gear.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Primus OpenFire Pan Large suits camp cooks who cook over an open fire or an existing grill and want one pan that handles multiple cooking styles across a large surface. It works with the Primus Kamoto Large fire pit.

The OpenFire Pan Large is not designed for use on gas or electric camp stoves. At 9.7 lb and 18.5 x 29.9 inches packed, it is not a backpacking or ultralight option. A fuel source is not included.

Common Questions

Does the Primus OpenFire Pan Large work on a standard camp grill grate?

Yes. The Primus OpenFire Pan Large can be placed directly on any grill grate. The detachable legs are only needed when placing the pan directly over an open fire without a grate; with the legs removed, the pan rests flat on any existing grill surface.

How do the detachable legs attach, and do they stay secure over a fire?

The legs thread onto lug attachment points on the underside of the Primus OpenFire Pan Large. The lug design resists soot clogging, and the rectangular crosscut profile on each leg provides a firm grip for tightening and loosening even with dirty or gloved hands.

Does the stainless steel surface require seasoning like cast iron?

No. The Primus OpenFire Pan Large uses a stainless steel exterior that is corrosion and scratch resistant and does not require seasoning. It can be cleaned without the conditioning routine that cast iron cookware demands.

How compact does the Primus OpenFire Pan Large pack?

With the legs removed, the Primus OpenFire Pan Large packs to 18.5 x 29.9 x 2 inches. The legs store separately and add no height to the packed pan.

Is the Primus OpenFire Pan Large compatible with the Primus Kamoto fire pit?

Yes. The OpenFire Pan Large is designed to fit the Primus Kamoto Large fire pit. The Kamoto Large is sold separately.
