Hi
John .............
Have a look at this one ???

Image Could Not Be Found
John, this was my original concept :
about 5' of waterpipe, a series of holes [3/8"] drilled through both sides,, starting from the top down, spaced about 4" apart.
Then another set of holes, same size and spacings, but at 90 degrees to the first holes and starting 2" below the first holes!
Hacksaw a spearpoint cut on the BOTTOM end of the pipe, for bunging into the ground, 8 - 10 " is fine for me.
This gives alternating holes every 2".
As many holes as you like.
Found several lengths [about 20"] of 5/16" threaded rods in my shed, bent a 1" upturn on one end .
A few meters of Jack Chain from the hardware
shop and that's your bloomin' lot, mate.
Total cost about four and threepence ha'penny, except for the chain......
Then got my old spun steel WOK [with a lid,] my faithful
BEDOURIE, a medium
CAMP OVEN, about three HD pots with the handles removed [ so they can NEST !!] a BILLY and a proper KETTLE, with a WHISTLE !!
Drilled THREE equally spaced holes in all except the Billy and the Kettle, ....
made up various CHAIN HANGER-UPPERS [ triples and singles of various lengths. Chain does not need to be heavy stuff !!
Bung the pipe into the ground poke the rods through appropriate holes, LIGHT UP YOUR FIRE and let it burn down, hang your gadgets, load and
COOK !!
The
Bedourie is your oven, LID [now with three holes!] is your frypan [ so is your Wok,] spuds go in the foil, get an old FRIDGE SHELF [on triple chains] for A PERFECT TOASTER .... etc etc.!!!
The pole can swivel the pans off /on the fire as needed, the height of each is infinitely adjustable via the rods in the holes .....
Can do roasts, stirfrys', pizzas, veges, bread/damper/scones, omelettes, steak eggs chips and unjuns, fish ...... you
cook it at
home - it can be cooked on this. (Except sponges and those other poofy things !!)
Or you can ignore all this and just look at the pictures ???
PS
Of course, you don't need all of these items at once, but judicious placement would allow it.
Modification is the name of the game ????
I should also point out that I normally
camp SOLO [except for the Beagle] so this is all for me ............ damn, I like my creature comforts ??

OOOOOPS ....
Forgot to explain ......... HOTPLATE :
Just drill a hole in each corner, make up a quadruple chain hanger and bung it on the rod .... use a filled billy on the other side to counterbalance it .............
it's all good,mate!
