A tripod camp oven typically consists of three legs that support a cast iron pot suspended over an open fire. This unique design allows for even heat distribution and excellent cooking results. One of the main advantages of using a tripod camp oven is its ability to serve a variety of dishes, from savory stews and hearty casseroles to baked breads and even desserts. The possibilities are endless, making it a favorite for campers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Creating a Beautiful Metal Heart Wreath Frame
For foods that require a hot sear, like a steak, or that take a long time to cook through, like a bone-in chicken breast, you'll want to build a two-zone fire. Arrange all the lit coals on one half of the grill's lower grate. That creates a searing surface over the side with coals, and an indirect cooking area on the side without. With either method, add coals continuously every 30 to 60 minutes to roughly maintain the quantity that you started with.
When to close the lid. There's no hard and fast rule about when to use the lid, so you'll need to take clues from what you're cooking. Generally, most foods that cook quickly, over a single-zone fire, can be cooked without the lid in place. You'll want the lid for foods that take longer to cook because it helps trap hot air, producing indirect convection heat, which cooks foods through without scorching the surface from direct contact with flames.
