Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am very happy with my purchase of this tripod. It is well built and should last many lifetimes. I have used it with a Lodge 4 quart, Coleman 7.5 quart, and Lodge 10 quart dutch ovens. I also put a Grillmark Chrome Cooking Grate 25" on four chains connected to a 1.5" ring to cook hotdogs and hamburgers on. I will upload a photo. I found it to be too short for the 25" cooking grate without digging a hole for the fire or just using coals to cook over. It works well for cooking over wheel rims or sunken fire pits where the flames are lower than a typical campfire. I have purchased a Lodge 5TP2 Tall Boy tripod for almost twice as much as I paid for this one. It gives me more height to adjust how much heat gets to the food while it is still centered over the fire. With this tripod, I have found that in order to simmer some soup and still have a decent size campfire I need to offset the tripod to the side of the fire. It is a great tripod and I am happy with my purchase, however, I always go for the taller tripod first for a campfire and this one if I am cooking over the firepit. I hope this helps.
