Lodge 110.5 cm / 43.5 inch Outdoor / Camp Dutch Oven Tripod

Just what I wanted

Good campfire accessory

Bought it to use with my cub pack. Easy and practical to use and carry. Be careful not to lose the hook however. I'm looking forward to using it more.

It arrived promptly but without any information sheet. Like most accessories it is expensive for what it is, but this no doubt helps to keep the main product cheaper. My worry here is that there is not any mechanism to stop the legs from splaying apart. This is probably no worry if they can be embedded in the ground, but could be when used on a smoother surface such as a patio. Something that is supporting a heavy pot with a boiling liquid must be absolutely safe from collapse. The chain for carrying the pot is presumably stainless steel. It can be adjusted but it strikes me as being very difficult to do this when supporting a hot heavy pot over the fire. I have not used it yet other than for display but if I use it for cooking over a fire I shall be very cautious.

Missing hooks too bag company

I purchased this tripod for my charity, founded by my sister and I 9 years ago. We had our first 2 day event this July 2011 where people were coming from all over to camp out and join with us on an awareness weekend, just getting to know each other. I had found a 10 litre coffee pot in USA and needed the tripod to hang it over the fire. I bought the tripod and was really pleased with it, but when placing it over our fire pit realized with such a large coffee pot the height was not right. One of our guys that helps us very cleverly extended the tripod for us and it worked great. For an ordinary sized pan, dutch oven pot or kettle this tripod would work really well. I have no regrets at buying it and in fact would now like to buy the bigger triple stand for over our next fire.The tripod comes in a carry bag, folds down really neat, but long, and is easy to pack away.

I have a petromax dutch oven that I use with this and I find it an excellent combination.
