At the risk of being called a Ray Mears groupie and one at that with too much kit to carry all ready, please put me out of my misery and confirm who manufactures and/or supplies (here in the UK) the adjustable three-legged pot stand used in the Wild Food series?
This is the heavy-duty looking one made of mild steel and with adjustable hook and chain for those lovely black cast-iron vessels.
Cheers
We just use 3 fencing pins and a length of chain from B&Q. I'm sure rebar would do the equally well.
Hi "Ray Mears Groupie" :p
If its the same thing then they are being discussed here: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=18772

No, they are discussing something completely different. Perhaps I should start with the “cast-iron” pot supplier and take it from there. Upon reflection everything about the stand looked in proportion to those heavy cast stew pots anyway.
Cheers
I'd recommend "Ronnie Sunshine" on Ebay for a dutch oven / cast iron pot - I'm a happy customer.
Ahh misunderstood. So are you thinking more of a tripod with a chain hanging down from the top, for hanging the pots from? Rather than a pot stand?

I was really confused too. Not really a stand, more of a pot hanger. Description is all!! :rolleyes:

I think I have read about people using 4x4 ground anchor pins to make the stands.
Why not three four foot lengths of 12.5mm steel reinforcing rod from a builder's merchant. This should be as cheap as chips. Drive them into the ground with a stone approximately 4inches. Bind the tops together with some wire of chord, hang the pot on a length of heavy chain.
Should work.
Stewey. :D

Indeed, as I've just found when Googling:

Item two looks rather cool in the smaller version!

find a folding road sign and borrow the tripod frame.
I got one from a skip where I used to work.
How about this one

Three lengths of wrist thick hazel tied off with a withy should see you right.

That looks really great Phil. Reminds me of one I saw in an old B&W picture of people traveling out to the west of America in the 1800's. Im sure a Backsmith could knock one up for less. :rolleyes:
Here's our setup:

3 fencing pins. I did see these on Ebay earlier, £12 for 10, £6 postage, but I reckon you could probably pick them up from a builders merchant or a friendly contractor.
About 2 m of light chain from B&Q, along with 2 "S" hooks, about £5 altogether.
Dutch Oven was about £30 delivered from Ebay.
I really like the Dutch Oven. We've only had it for the last two trips and have cooked Jambalaya and Moroccan Lamb Casserole (for 6) and also baked bread and cakes. Not for backpacking, but great for luxury bushcraft. :lmao:

i forge my own. sort of loosely based around a Viking folding tripod. A tray ( an old B&Q BBQ) can be fitted if you cant put the fire on the floor. Have sold a couple to.
