ABSTRACT:
A tripod stand structured for supporting food holding equipment over a fire pan containing a fire, or an open campfire. The tripod has three support legs, each formed of a plurality of separable sections which snap together. The upper portion of each leg is hingedly affixed to a central collar. The central collar further defines a central bore structured for retaining a vertically oriented center rigid shaft. The lower end of the center rigid shaft is structured for releasably supporting one of several food holding accessories such as a grill, a battery powered rotisserie or a shish kebob apparatus over the fire. The central collar allows the center rigid shaft to be removed or variably adjusted in height over a wide range. Temporary stationary affixment of the center rigid shaft within the central collar is made with the use of a threadably engaged L-shaped handle, one end of which extends through a threaded bore in the sidewall of the central collar. With the center rigid shaft removed from the central collar, a vertical slot within the sidewall of the collar is exposed for releasably and adjustably retaining one end of a length of chain. The distal end of the chain is affixed with a hook for suspending a cooking pot. The tripod stand and food holding equipment can be easily disassembled and stored within the provided fire pan, which in turn can then be stored within a handled fabric carrying case.
