Abstract:

A device for holding an outdoor cooking vessel over a campfire has an elongate post that is pushed into ground adjacent to the campfire. An elongate tubular member has an opening extending through top and bottom surfaces of the tubular member. The elongate post fits snugly through the opening. A second elongate tubular member is pivotally attached to the first tubular so that the second tubular member can pivot upwardly from a distal end of the first tubular member. A first end of an elongate plate is attached to an underside of the the end of the second tubular member so that the second end of the plate extends along an underside of the first tubular member and slightly beyond a second opening through the first tubular member. An elongate threaded rod is threaded through a nut on the first tubular member, with the threaded rod extending through the second opening so that a distal end of the threaded rod can be advanced into contact with the elongate plate and force the elongate plate to move away from the first tubular member to force the second tubular member to pivot upwardly. An outdoor cooking vessel is engaged in the second end of the second tubular member, with the vessel being supported in cantilever fashion from the second end of the tubular member.
