Lodge Campfire Cooking Tripod - Adjustable Chain - Steel Cooking Tripod for Campfire - 43.5 Inch

This is exactly what I ordered and seems sturdy and that it will work well. It has everything needed to set it over a fire and get cooking, plus a nice carrying case. I had to figure out how to get the rubber stoppers off the screw heads because they required pliers to remove, but that was no problem. The bottoms will need to be kept up (cleaned and oiled) as they have no bases will sink into into the ground a bit- also not a big problem. Excited to get out there and use it.

It seemed wobbly at first, but turned out being quite sturdy. It held a cast iron 12-inch Dutch oven full of chili (pictured). The carrying case was a selling point for me, and I'm glad it came with one. This case allows you to carry it in your car/vehicle without getting soot on everything. The case also helps you keep up with the tripod better; I like that mine was black with a noticeable, bright, yellow zipper. The chain is also sturdy and is a good size for large pots.

This Lodge tripod arrived quickly and in time for an important cook we had planned for July 4th weekend. I had looked at this and other tripod options for a while and finally pulled the trigger on getting this one. I've been very pleased with its performance thus far. It held my 5/6 quart Dutch oven solidly as I cooked up some Cowboy beans. I was able to adjust the amount of heat needed by easily changing the chain length. The tripod spread out sufficiently to cover my firepit and could have done more or less had the need arrived. I wasn't expecting the carry bag so that was a nice surprise, which will make carting the tripod on camping trips easy and clean. A good purchase so far!

First let me say if youv recently been to a pioneer days and see someone cooking with a BIG twisted wrought Iron tripod and decided that you just had to have one of your own.. well, this is not that. this is a 60 inch tripod (5-feet tall) but once its open and set up it more like 4 feet tall. its NOT the super thick Iron you probably seen. the metal is (or atleast looks) painted or coated in something, and it doesnt look nearly as quality as the Lodge logic 8 quart cast iron pot i ordered with it. once set up its fairly sturdy but you better set it up right. I ordered the 8 quart pot with mine and frankly i dont think id feel comfortable putting much more on the chain than this 8 QRT pot (2 gallons) For the price its a fair deal and i wouldnt call it junk, its just not he same cast Iron as the pot. Mine did include the chain and im sure it will provide years of service. Im giving it four stars as its not the same cast iron as the pot. overall i think its going to be a good product but i dont expect it to last nearly as long as the Pot.

Searched and searched until I found this product. We have a 36" fire ring (in ground) and really wanted to be able to cook over it as we have a bonfire almost every night in the summer. Issue was finding something that would work with a 36" ring. This product works perfectly! It is an extremely simple design and easy to setup. Legs can be set as far apart as you need. I am unsure how far you could set them apart but there is plenty of room to go larger on this item in case you have a larger fire ring. Craziest part is that I was watching a historical TV show later that night (1800's in Scotland) and I noticed that all of the people were using this exact same design to cook over. We ended up purchasing a 18" grill grate that goes over a traditional BBQ along with some chain and hooks to make this product a lean, mean BBQ machine :) Recommend.

Very well made! Really needs instructions! I could not figure out how to get the three legs to keep the hook centered. Maybe it's a design flaw. Maybe it's not supposed to center at all, and maybe it doesn't matter. It drove me nuts!

This thing is SOLID! Taller version of the Lodge tripod. Many fire set sellers out there sell a smaller version around 48" or so standard so get this if you want taller. This is NOT forged iron so it doesn't look historical but so be it. The long chain and hook maximize functionality over the fire without having to buy a trommel hook that can nearly cost you just as much as the fire set. Consider getting a carrying/storage bag or you'll have soot/ash everywhere this thing touches. The retailed bag for it (make sure you are looking at the Tall Boy version) is crap, overpriced and hard to come by. BAG SOLUTION? Hop on over to Jas. Townsend, get their number, call them and say you want a 60" version of their fire set bag. Shockingly affordable and superbly made.

I am impressed with the quality of this tripod and chain. I read other reviews where a few hadn't received the chain with their order, at first opening I thought I too was missing the chain but after further inspection into the triangle box the tripod was packaged in, I found my chain wrapped in a plastic bag with hook. I was surprised at the thickness of the chain too, you could pull a car out of the ditch with it I think, lol. I am very happy with the functionality and quality of said unit and I do recommend buying the 60 inch model. I read other reviews that had ordered the 48" and said they were pretty short so I ordered the 60' and am very happy I did. It'll be perfect. I also bought the Sunnydaze fire pit wood grate. I love it. Thanks for reading.

I got this because I wanted a breakdown tripod to go canoeing with to use my dutch oven. I like the carry case and design for the most part - compact but it still is quite heavy. Each leg has three sections and you can lighten it up by only using two if you want it lighter. The threaded rod ends come with plastic caps to protect the threads. The chain is long enough, actually quite overkill for just hanging a pot or dutch oven from it, would prefer a lighter chain myself. The only thing I don't really like is the coupling pieces that are welded on to the end aren't all straight from poor manufacturing resulting in kind in the legs. There's no reason this should happen with the manufacturing, especially being from Lodge.

Just what I wanted

Es de dificil traslado, pero buen producto. Sugiero revisen opciones de compra si necesitan algo que puedan mover con facilidad.

Excellent build, durable and highly recommend. Takes 5 minutes to assemble and the carrying bag is ideal.

It's a great product and will work fine, but some where the welds and joins are the paint has peeled and the joins are rusted. Will look worn after being used over a fire anyway, but just not what I'd expect from a new product.
