Rome's #117 Tri-Pod Grill with 21.5 Inch Diameter Grill Grate, Chrome Plated Stee

This is a very simple, yet "you've got to get it" kind of camping gadget. In a world that gets very hung up on tech -including camping tech -there are some easy to omit fundamentals that make camping what it should be, and Rome's Tripod Grill is one of those. Why so good you ask? Simple -the tripod is well-made: No thin guage metal involved. It's very simple to use: just put the poles together, pop them into the top, put the chain-hung grill on and you're cookin'. It's well designed: there is a raised edge that keeps food (such as hot dogs) from rolling off the edges. It also breaks down small enough to fit into a patrol (a/k/a chuck) box. And for all of this, you get the taste of food cooked over an open campfire -which is a real treat and part of why we get out there! Enjoy!

The tripod was easy to assemble, although I recommend you put it together BEFORE you light the fire. The chain works great for hanging a coffee pot. The grill spins on the chain so you'll want something to hold the grill with when you turn your food, but the spinning can be an advantage since you can move the food over a hotter or cooler part of the fire to control cooking.

I've had a few grills of this type over the years for camping. The last ones were made by Coghlan's. they had a great tripod but the grill grate was cheap and sagged and warped after the first season. The Rome grill has a much better and heavier grill grate but the tripod is junk; small diameter tubing and difficult to assemble without the legs falling apart. I've mounted the Rome grate on the sturdy Coghlan tripod and am using that now.

Couldn't wait to use my new tripod. Built the fire, put the tripod together, put the dutch oven on the grill top and added the meat. Oh boy, dinner soon. Decided to lower the grill closer to the fire. That's when disaster struck. The chain pulled apart, sending the pot full of meat into the flames. Fortunately, it stayed right side up but the rest of the tripod fell apart...there is nothing to hold the top piece into the legs...it went everywhere. Ended up laying the tripod legs across the logs, putting the grill on top and cooking that way. The legs are burnt, the chain is broken. A very expensive one time use! I'm getting my 30 year old Coleman tripod back! I know I can depend on it!

We used it camping to cook with a stock pot, hot dogs, beans, even toast a sandwich at the same time!! This guy worked great! I would just say to make sure you have the height and placement of the tri pod grill set up before setting food on there since the legs come apart easily if you pull up on them. Keep the box also so its easy to keep together. The grill has a raised edge so hot dogs dont roll off. Very very pleased with this buy and highly suggest it, all my friends loved using it as well!
