Petromax Fire Bridge – for controlled fire, grilling and cooking outdoors
When several pots hang over the fire at the same time, vegetables sizzle on the grill, and the scent of wood smoke drifts through the camp, true campfire cooking comes to life. It is precisely for such situations that the Petromax Fire Bridge was developed – a stable outdoor cooking station that allows you to cook, grill, and prepare several dishes simultaneously over an open fire.
The robust construction made of powder-coated steel spans your fire pit with a 115 cm long crossbar. Three hooks of different lengths allow you to hang fire pots, kettles, or coffee pots at varying heights over the fire. This allows you to directly regulate the heat – from intense searing to slow simmering.
In addition, the Fire Bridge has a variably suspended grill grate. On it, you can grill meat, vegetables, or bread directly over the embers or keep finished dishes warm.
Why this product?
Cooking over fire works best when heat, distance, and fuel are controlled. Functional fire pit accessories are crucial for this.
- more control over embers and heat
- more stable setup for pots, pans, or grilled food
- better flow for campfire cooking and camp cooking
Practical tip: Embers are more predictable than flames
For many dishes, even embers are better than an open flame. First build up a bed of embers and then work with distance, airflow, and adding more fuel.

Our Assessment (Practical Added Value)
The Fire Bridge transforms a simple fire pit into a complete outdoor kitchen. While a fire pot stews over the embers, meat or vegetables can be prepared simultaneously on the grill grate.
The different lengths of the hooks are particularly practical. This allows cookware to be positioned closer to or further from the fire. One pot can be heated intensely, while another only simmers gently – just like on a stove with multiple cooking zones.
With a maximum load of up to 70 kg, the construction is also suitable for large fire pots or several heavy cast iron pots at the same time.
Tips from Outdoor Practice
Utilize multiple temperature zones
Hang large fire pots closer to the embers for vigorous searing. Higher positions are suitable for slow simmering or keeping warm.
Combine multiple fire pits
Due to the long crossbar, even two small fire pits can be used under the bridge – ideal for larger cooking activities.
Use the grill grate also for keeping warm
The grill grate is not only suitable for grilling, but also as a storage surface for keeping finished dishes warm.
Perfect for Dutch Ovens
The Fire Bridge is ideal for stably hanging fire pots over the fire – especially for slow simmering of stews or goulash.
