Petromax

Petromax – German quality for cooking over an open fire

Nothing beats the taste of food cooked over a crackling campfire. Petromax specialises in outdoor cooking gear. With more than 100 years of experience, they combine traditional design with modern function. We carry Petromax because their cast iron and lanterns are made for people who value gear that never wears out. Whether you are on a survival trip with your paracord or relaxing in camp after a game day, Petromax lifts the experience.

Iconic cast iron: Dutch ovens and pans

At the heart of Petromax is their heavy cast iron, which gives a uniquely even heat distribution:

• Dutch ovens (FT series): The classic campfire pot. The lid can even be turned over and used as a pan. Perfect for everything from slow-cooked stews to fresh bread in the forest.

• Cast iron pans: Give meat a proper sear that ordinary pans cannot match. They only get better and more "non-stick" the more you use them.

• Fire bowls and Atago: Clever solutions for lighting a fire safely and efficiently, wherever you camp in your Pentagon Tactical gear.

Light in the dark with paraffin lamps

Petromax started with their well-known pressure lamps, which are still a symbol of reliability:

1. HK500 lamp: A piece of engineering that delivers an extremely bright light. It is indispensable at base camp when darkness falls and you need to keep track of your kit.

2. Hurricane lanterns: Simple, robust and wind-resistant lanterns that create just the right mood by the tent or in the garden.

Looking after your Petromax gear

Cast iron needs a little love, but do it right and you have a companion for life:

• Cleaning: Never wash your cast iron with soap! Use hot water and a brush. If food is stuck, you can use a chainmail scrubber designed for cast iron.

• Care: After washing, dry the cast iron thoroughly and apply a thin layer of care paste or neutral oil. Find everything you need in our cleaning and maintenance collection.

• Seasoning: Most Petromax products come pre-seasoned from the factory, but regular re-seasoning keeps the surface in perfect condition.
