Frequently asked questions
No — it’s made from 3mm Corten Steel, also known as weathering steel. It naturally forms a protective outer patina (protective crust) that shields the steel beneath. This means no paint to peel, no coatings to crack, and no structural rust. It’s a feature, not a flaw — and it’s why your Bush Mate gets better with age.
Yes. Both the Original Bush Mate & XL are built as a complete cooking platform — not just a fire pit. They include a cooking area that can fit a hot plate and grill plate, and it’s rotisserie-adapter ready. You can sear steaks, fry pancakes, roast veggies, or even slow-cook a curry over coals.
Both the Original and XL have the same functions, however the XL is twice the size of the Original.
Bush Mate Original ($229): Compact, folds flat, comes with rotisserie-ready arms. Made for solo travellers or couples. Ideal for billy tea, toasting over coals, or meals for 2.
Bush Mate XL ($449): Twice the size of the Original, folds flat, comes with rotisserie-ready arms. Cooks for 4–6 people, packs like a dream, and serves as a complete outdoor kitchen.

The Bush Mate Original and XL take under 2 minutes to layer up and get ready for cooking. No nuts and bolts, no tools, no wobbly feet, no stress.
Original: ~8kg — lightweight and easy to carry. Optional back pack for hiking trips. Aluminium ash pan extra 3kg
XL: ~20kg — twice the size of the ‘Original’, folds flat and fits in 4WD’s, caravans, and trailers with ease. Optional shoulder carry bag to take it off the beaten track. Aluminium ash pan extra 7kg
We chose Corten steel for its ability to withstand the harsh Australian elements and because you don’t want a thin fire pit falling apart mid-trip. Both fire pits come with optional carry bags for both storage and travel convenience.
