Bask in the beauty of the forest (or your backyard) with the Men with the Pot as you create memorable, mouthwatering meats, rustic bakes, and more over your campfire or on your grill. People often ask the Men with the Pot “what’s behind the name?” The answer is simple: when they started out, they were just
two men with one pot who wanted to do something big! Their aim was to light a fire and inspire others to follow the same path—
cooking whatever brings them joy.
Kris and Slawek’s
eye-catching videos have done just that, propelling that humble idea into a concept reaching tens of millions of fans every month.
