How do I set up the Atago correctly?
With a quick tug, pull the sling bar of the Atago upwards. This movement causes three legs to extend and you bring the Atago into its operating position. To light the Atago, place a few kindling cubes on the base of the Atago as required. Open the air supply completely and place the charcoal grate on the inserts provided and place the desired number of briquettes on the charcoal grate.
Carefully light the solid barbecue lighter and allow the briquettes to glow through until they reach the typical white color. It can take up to 30 minutes for the coals to glow through. The Atago is then ready for cooking. Thanks to its design, the Atago generates a powerful heat and you need fewer coals than you think. All you need to light a fire in the fire bowl is some tinder or birch bark.
How many coals do I need in the Atago?
The Atago is a very efficient cooking zone. Thanks to its sophisticated design, heat is not lost and you need fewer coals for cooking. So if you want to generate a bottom heat of 180 °C, you would need ft6 usually 8 coals (with Petromax Cabix Plus ) and only approx. 6 coals when used in the Atago. The number of coals depends on the size of the pot, the type of coals and the temperature scale. As a rule of thumb, 30% fewer coals are required if you use your Dutch Oven in the Atago. Our charcoal table gives you a precise overview.
Which Petromax pans fit perfectly with the Atago?
The optimum pan for the Atago has a diameter of 30 cm. The Petromax fire pans and grill fire pans in the corresponding size are ideal in combination with the Atago. Smaller or larger pans or wrought-iron pans can easily be heated on the grill grate or the separately available cooking cross. The poffertjes pan can easily be placed on the top edge of the Atago. If you have a Dutch oven in size ft6 or ft9, you can place the lid on the back of the rim of the Atago and also use it as a pan. In addition to the classic pans, special shapes such as poultry roasters, bundt pans, potato roasters or the muffin tin also make it easier for you to prepare hearty or sweet dishes. These are simply positioned on the charcoal grid. In combination with the convection dome, you can also benefit from all-round heat.
Is the Atago better suited for a Dutch Oven with feet or one without feet?
If you have already cooked with a Dutch oven on coals, you will know that the Dutch oven with feet is very suitable for this. The feet provide the ideal distance from the coals or embers and the pot is stable on the floor. If you cook with the Atago in the future, you have a choice. If you want to place small cast iron pots (ft0.5 - ft4.5) on coals in the Atago, it is advisable to use pots with feet. Large pots or pans can be placed on the grill grid or the separately available cooking cross.
Handling pots without feet is a little easier here. However, you can also place small pots on the grill grate and cook with a little more distance from the coals without any problems. The Dutch ovens ft6 and ft9 fit perfectly with the Atago, with or without feet. You therefore do not need a special pot for the Atago, as it can be easily combined with all Petromax cast iron products.
Which carbon is the best for the Atago?
You can operate the Atago with standard charcoal. For the efficient consumption of fuel, the Petromax Cabix Plus developed. These are highly compressed and have a wave-like surface structure for free air circulation around the coal briquette.
This means you need fewer coals to reach the desired temperature than with conventional charcoal and therefore consume less charcoal. You can find out more about the exact charcoal distribution in our charcoal table. For use in the Atago, you need approx. 30 % less charcoal.
What is the Atago and what can it do?
The Petromax Atago is a real all-rounder among outdoor cooking stoves. Juicy steaks, hearty stews, gratins, pizza or simply a hot drink by the fire: With the Atago, you have a flexible companion for all your cooking adventures that is guaranteed to leave nothing to be desired.
Cooking: The Atago can be combined with a wide range of pots and pans, so there are virtually no limits when it comes to cooking. Smaller pots can be placed in the Atago. The ft6 and ft9 Dutch ovens fit perfectly in the Atago. Larger pots and pans can be placed on the top edge or on the grill grate.
Oven: With the right number of briquettes under the Dutch Oven and on the Dutch Oven lid, you can prepare dishes that require both top and bottom heat. Gratin dishes, bread or pizza are done in no time at all. Alternatively, you can use the separately available convection dome.
Grilling: The included grill rack allows you to grill enough steaks, fish or vegetables on a surface with a diameter of 34 cm.
Fire bowl: The sophisticated design of the Atago ensures low-smoke combustion at all times, even when used as a fire bowl. This makes the Atago a flexible cooking station as well as a mobile fireplace.
Plancha grill plate with mini grill grid and cooking area: The Atago grill plate extends the Atago with a steel plate in the Spanish plancha style, on which several dishes with different cooking times can be cooked at the same time. The different temperature zones ensure the best results, e.g. a steak grilled to perfection and grilled vegetables sizzling on the edge of the plate at the same time. On the mini grill grid in the middle of the grill plate, you can create meat specialties with the characteristic grill stripes. You can prepare freshly brewed coffee or tea, a hearty side dish, strong sauce or an invigorating soup on the cooking attachment, which fits perfectly into the recess of the Atago grill plate. You can easily and safely refill firewood despite the insert and cooking attachment, as these can be removed with Petromax grill and fire tongs.
Thanks to its foldable legs, you can make it ready for use or transport with just one hand movement. With the additional integrated heat protection on the underside, the Atago becomes an efficient and safe cooking and fire pit.
The double-walled design of the Atago optimally promotes the chimney effect. The infinitely adjustable air supply lever is used to regulate the temperature. This makes heating up particularly quick. Ventilation openings ensure a continuous supply of oxygen, making the Atago an efficient fire bowl. The Atago is well thought out and can be combined with almost all Petromax cast iron products. This makes it a real powerhouse with a low-smoke burning style that can be adapted to any of your adventures.
What is the best way to store the Atago?
Stainless steel is a particularly pure material. Nevertheless, stainless steel requires a dry place where it is stored without high humidity. If you leave your Atago unprotected outdoors, undesirable effects will very quickly become apparent, especially if there are still ash residues inside. In combination with moisture, this leads to a chemical reaction that causes rust. Storage together with other types of steel is also not advisable in order to avoid a reaction. Therefore, after cleaning, store your Atago separately in a dry place, ideally in the appropriate transport bag.
How do I clean the Atago properly?
The Petromax Atago is a permanently reliable companion for your outdoor adventures. You can make a big contribution to this yourself, because proper care and storage are the be-all and end-all for the longevity of your mobile outdoor cooking stove. Here's what to do when you've finished cooking with the Atago:
- Before you start cleaning, the fuel and the appliance must have cooled down completely. So make sure that the Atago has cooled down completely.
- Grasp the opposite areas of the outer cylinder with both hands. Then slowly pull the outer cylinder upwards to retract the inner cylinder and the support legs.
- Dispose of the cooled ash properly and sweep out the remains with a hand brush if necessary.
- Once the coarse ash residue has been removed, remove the fine ash dust with a damp cloth. Immediately afterwards, wipe the wiped-out Atago completely dry with a cloth. For special care, you can use the organic cleaner for soot and traces of fire to give the stainless steel surface of the Atago a new shine. However, do not use sharp objects or aggressive cleaning agents.
- You can easily clean the grates with a standard barbecue brush made of brass bristles (no steel bristles).
- After cleaning, it is best to store the Atago in the matching transport bag made of ripstop fabric in a dry place.
Tip:The Atago is sharp-edged in places due to the manufacturing process. We therefore recommend wearing protective gloves during the cleaning process.

How strong is the downward heat development?
Even if the heat development is particularly efficient and high temperatures prevail in the inner cylinder, your base remains well protected thanks to the structural insulation. Nevertheless, you should bear in mind that this is a fireplace and that general safety conditions apply.
Place the Atago on a fireproof surface and keep a sufficient distance from flammable objects. However, the heat development downwards is so low that the Atago can be operated on a table without any problems. Some of the legs are very sharp-edged, so it is best to protect the table with a scratch-resistant surface.
Which Dutch Oven fits in the Atago?
All Dutch Ovens from ft0.5 to ft9 can be positioned in the Atago. Up to the Dutch Oven size ft4.5 there is sufficient clearance to the edge of the Atago. The fire pots ft6 and ft9 sit perfectly in the Atago and close off at the sides. The heat development is particularly effective with these two pot sizes.
However, when cooking, make sure that you have the air supply fully open. This ensures that the charcoal briquettes have enough oxygen to glow. Turn the lever to the right and only then place the ft6 or ft9 in the Atago.
Can the Atago rust?
The Atago is made of stainless steel. Due to the high purity of the material, this steel grouping is referred to as rustproof. However, the fact that stainless steel cannot rust is not true. In particular, no or poor maintenance and incorrect storage are the main causes of rust. Moisture in combination with ash leads to an acidic lye that causes rust. Storage in the vicinity of other steel or steel already affected by rust can also be a rust-causing factor. In some cases, air with a high salt content is also responsible for rust. This makes it all the more important to know how you can prevent rust on your Atago.
To ensure that you can enjoy your multifunctional appliance for a long time, it is important that you clean it properly after each use and store it in a clean and dry place. Carefully remove all ash residue and do not leave your Atago outside carelessly. If you wipe out your Atago with a damp cloth, make sure you dry it properly afterwards. It is best to store the Atago in the matching transport bag in a dry place to keep it permanently protected.
