Cooking over an open flame can be tricky since you can't turn a fire down.  If your pot is too low it can burn and if it is too high is might not cook thoroughly.  This is why it is best to have a kettle saw with you hanging from a tripod.  This way you can lower and raise your pot as needed.  This kettle saw is hand forged from iron and weather with a natural finish. A securing ring is featured at the top with a hook for kettles, cauldrons, grills, or Dutch ovens at the bottom. Collapsed Overall Length: 16.25 Inches. Fully Extended Overall Length: 24 Inches.
