It's an old ammunition container. It's got a raised mesh floor for the charcoal. A hinge on one side of the hole to feed the charcoal or briquettes in and a piece of aluminium on the hinge for a door. I think it works quite well. Never leave it outside in the elements. It lives in the garage.

Potjie on Mother's day South Africa 10th May 2026. A Potjie is a very traditional way of cooking originating with the South African Pioneers that even went as fat as Rhodesia. The one I used is a three legged pot.
I did an Oxtail Potjie with sautéd onions, tomatoes, Patti Pans, baby marrows...

Unicorn Drip Tips from Bearded Viking.
They fit nicely but no grove for an "O" Ring.

Did my first shave. No nicks or cuts, but had to go over in three directions like my twin blade so no real advantage. I'll use the blades I bought and then revert to my twin blade.
