Large Vintage Indian Iron Kadai Fire Pit BBQ With Stand

  
Large Vintage Indian Iron Kadai Fire Pit BBQ With Stand. Our wonderful old Indian Kadai fire bowls date from the 1920's and have been hand selected in Rajasthan for their size, quality, weight and condition. Kadais (literally meaning cauldron or fire bowl in Hindi) were used as cauldrons for cooking on a large scale at Indian festivals and weddings, and also for villages that cooked together in a bygone age.

They were made by Lohars - itinerant metal workers in Rajasthan by riveting or hammer welding plates of iron together. They have become popular again now because of their use as fire bowls in Rajasthani Palace hotels in the winter, an idea which has now been exported to the UK, where they make great all year around fire pits and BBQ's. Supplied with a strong iron stand these large kadai are the perfect size for sitting around at night or for use as a barbecue. Please don't confuse our Kadai with the cheap replicas now found in every garden centre.

These are the original real deal, are very heavy and will last a lifetime.
