With four hungry grandsons, we slew the ratio a bit…🤣

So did the last two hours of climbing after it happened!🤣

Breakfast!

I have no doubt that you’re right about open flame cooking, but with the rings, it is so much simpler to regulate and maintain temps with coals.

That is the fastest way known to man to roll up a water hose! In other news…make sure you take enough wraps…

Somewhat, I suppose. It has three legs like a Dutch oven, but they’re way too long for cooking like a Dutch oven, and the lid isn’t flanged for coals. I just happened to find one at a yard sale and grabbed it. Later I bought one a size smaller. They’re great since I got the rings to heap coals...
