Has it got to be cast iron? Or just steel? I got a mild steel one off here a little while ago for a great price.

Mild steel is good too, i was just looking for survivability, scouts never make for the most careful of users cheers for the links!

Bit of oil after use or just leave it. You'll get many years out of it as long as it doesn't live outside permanently.

I have a wrought iron tripod which was made for me and never used which I was going to put up for sale this weekend.

It has a chain and pot hanger.

Pm me, I live in South, Norfolk.

I'd be very surprised if you could actually get a cast iron tripod

It wouldn't last long at all, being so brittle.

I think you might find that in fact, almost all tripods are made from mild steel, steel "re-bar" or in some rare cases, actual wrought iron ( though I think a lot of people confuse hand worked mild steel for "wrought iron" these days)


good luck

We use one at the Suffolk meet that was left out all the time between Meets at the permission we use, once the fire/smoke, gets to it in a few months it will go black with tar from the fires..

You are quite right of course! It is mild steel! Oops!

 

[Melonfish]

quite right, i think i got carried away with cast iron due to dutch ovens etc.
pm's going out to those who've responded, cheers
