Hi the problem are that bash cant find the bitbake executable in the PATH.
You need to setup the environment by running:

export PATH=/stuff/bitbake/bin:$PATH

The PATH environment variable are used by bash, (the program that
displays your command line), to find where executables to run are
located on your system.
By exporting PATH to include the bitbake/bin dir makes the bitbake
command available.

You probably also need to set the BBPATH variable as well so that
bitbake can find its configuration when run.

export BBPATH=/stuff/build:/stuff/openembedded
