Dutch oven tripod?
I've used my dutch oven for a few things, and really like it. I want to use it more. Does anyone use a tripod? Likes/dislikes? Useful?

After looking at this more, I'm wondering if anyone uses a grill grate with a tripod? It would be nice to have one that could do either a dutch oven or a grill grate, but the lodge ones only have one chain, and the ones that have 3 seem much smaller and flimsy and wouldn't hold a DO. Thanks for the replies so far, has me thinking.
You can add three more chains with s hooks easily enough. Use a carabiner at the top to attach; permanently attach the three chains to an old BBQ grate. Have an extra s hook on the grate for the main chain and Bob's yer uncle. I use 4 chains for my grate the main and 3 others) as it's more stable for heavier items.
Just get the materials at the hardware store. If you go to one of the smaller hardware stores just tell an older looking guy what you want to do and he'll help you figure it out. Those old fellers are pretty handy (moi included).
