Ozpig Traveller: Complete Guide

The Traveller is built for campers, 4WD tourers and outdoor cooks who want a compact, all-in-one wood-fire stove. It's the lightest stove in the Ozpig range at 16 kg, with a larger 32 x 24 cm cooking surface, so you get more grilling room without the extra weight.

It takes just a few minutes and no tools. Screw the four zinc-coated legs into the body, sit the fire grate inside, stack the three chimney sections with the spark arrestor on top, and set the BBQ plate over the flame or on the side warming position. Light it up and you're cooking.

Both are enclosed wood-fire stoves with a chimney. The Traveller is lighter (16 kg vs 18 kg), packs into its own travel bag and has a larger BBQ plate, making it the pick for camping and touring. The Series 2 has the wider accessory range and suits backyard entertaining, controlled cooking and radiant heating at home base.

Burn dry, seasoned hardwood, or use charcoal and heat beads in the Traveller Charcoal Basket for cooking. The fire grate keeps fuel off the base for better airflow and a hotter, cleaner burn. On first use, run a hot fire to cure the paint before cooking on it.

Let it cool completely, remove the cold ashes and wipe it down. Pack all the components into the included travel bag and store it somewhere dry. If surface rust appears, clean it back with steel wool or a wire brush and touch up with high-temperature paint.

Very. The whole stove - body, plate, legs, chimney, fire grate, spark arrestor and lifting tool - packs down to 51.5 x 34 x 37.5 cm inside its own travel bag and weighs 16 kg. That's roughly the footprint of a 9 kg gas bottle, so it slots into the ute tray, drawer system or camper without a fight.

The large BBQ and warming plate handles steaks, snags, veg and breakfast fry-ups directly over the flame, and swings to the side to keep food warm. Add the Traveller Chargrill for searing, the Rotisserie Kit for spit-roasting chooks and roasts, the Charcoal Basket for controlled low-and-slow heat, and the Kettle for the cuppa.

It's designed with campsite safety in mind. The fire is fully enclosed, the spark arrestor stops embers escaping the chimney, and the screw-in legs raise the fire base off the ground to protect the grass beneath. Always check current local fire bans and campsite regulations before lighting up, and only use it in an open, well-ventilated outdoor area.

Yes. The three 350 mm chimney sections stack to a total stove height of 160 cm, drawing smoke up and away from the cook and the camp chairs instead of into everyone's eyes. The spark arrestor on top keeps embers contained, which matters in dry Australian conditions.

It's covered by a 3-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
