One of the unique features of a Dutch oven is that it can be used on an open fire or stove. They have two legs that elevate them off the ground so you can use them with charcoal or wood-fired grills and campfires. All of these tools come with three legs, not all of them are adjustable. Legs that are easy to adjust (like the Lodge and the Texsport pot hangers) are particularly desirable for those who are cooking on uneven ground and may need a little more space in their vehicles. The downside of adjustable legs is that they may take more time to assemble, be less durable, and thus more likely to tip during food preparation. Since we live off-grid in our campervan, we rely on our Dutch oven to cook many of our meals. Our campervan only has a two burner stove so if we need any other method of cooking we stoke up the campfire and break out the dutch oven.

A Dutch oven tripod comes with an adjustable chain length that hangs from its apex.

Another great feature is their ability to simmer at low temperatures with minimal intervention once comfortable using different surfaces and fuels. Due to the insulating properties of the ground, you will find you need proportionally much more heat coming from the top than from the bottom. So, you will want to have more coals on top of the lid than you will have underneath your Dutch oven. Adjustability – There are a variety of foods you can cook over the campfire, from grilled meat and vegetables to stews, one-pot meals, and soups, to name just a few. Chances are these foods require different cooking temperatures. So, if you don't want to burn your food – or eat improperly cooked food – make sure the tripod you like comes with an adjustable chain. This feature will allow you to set the pot lower or higher, depending on the food being cooked and your preference. Cooking Tripod FAQ Q: What is a cooking tripod ?

My top tip for cooking over the fire with a Dutch oven would be to start simple. Try cooking a stew, a chilli or a curry and become familiar with how the oven heats up. Notice the difference in cooking through placing it directly on the coals which provides a more intense, steady heat, versus using a grill or a tripod where the heat can be more sporadic. As is the case with using a BBQ grill, cooking with coals is often easier to control. Hand-forged here in Dorset, this beautiful, sturdy campfire tripod is made from solid 10mm steel.
