Abstract:
A Dutch oven assembly that includes an adjustable-height tripod stand which supports an easy-to-level, snap-in-place steel burner plate for a Dutch oven pot. Three solid steel rods form the tripod stand. The three rods intersect at a common point where they are bound by a metal washer so as to form a plane defined as a lower cone connected to a similar, inverted upper cone. Each rod has three annular grooves such that the metal washer and the stand are adjustable to three different heights. Each rod also has a segment of saw teeth disposed at its upper end. The burner plate rests horizontally, essentially inside the plane of the upper cone formed by the intersecting rods. The burner plate snaps in place between adjacent saw teeth. The saw teeth also enable the plate to be leveled where there is uneven terrain. Coals are placed on the burner plate, under and around the Dutch oven pot.
