Lodge Campfire Cooking Tripod 43.5" — Solid Steel Stand with Adjustable Galvanized Chain for Dutch Ovens

The Lodge Campfire Cooking Tripod is a 43.5-inch solid-steel stand with an adjustable galvanized chain that suspends your camp Dutch oven safely and securely over a fire.

This tripod is built for outdoor cooks who want a sturdy, easy-to-use suspension system for cast-iron Dutch ovens and kettles. Made from heavy-duty steel with a corrosion-resistant galvanized chain, it keeps cookware off the ground and allows precise control of cooking height. Compatible with multiple Lodge camp Dutch oven sizes, the tripod is a straightforward, long-lasting accessory for campfire braises, stews, and simmering outside.

How does the tripod help control cooking temperature?

Raising or lowering the pot changes how close the Dutch oven is to the heat source, which lets you manage simmering versus vigorous boiling. The adjustable galvanized chain can be shortened or lengthened quickly so you can respond to changing flame intensity as coals develop.

• Adjustable chain for precise height control over flames or coals
• 43.5-inch overall height to clear larger fires or low-burning coals
• Solid-steel legs provide a stable platform on uneven ground
• Galvanized finish resists rust from outdoor exposure

How do I set up and use the tripod at camp?

Setup is a simple three-step process: spread the tripod legs, hang the chain from the top hook, and attach the pot’s bail to the chain. Once secure, adjust the chain length until the pot reaches the desired distance from the fire for simmering or simmer-and-sear techniques.

• Spread legs wide on firm ground for maximum stability
• Clip or hook the galvanized chain to the tripod head, then attach the pot
• Adjust by counting chain links or using a marked reference point
• Before packing away, let the tripod cool and brush off ash and soot
