I have sometimes used a length of paracord and a mini-carabiner (for the pot hook) hanging down from a handy branch. Takes no time at all really, but you have to remember to move the cord away from the heat when the pot isn't on it any more.

Just a bit of Iron:
Where can I buy a conical coffee pot like the one shown on the right?
I made a bunch of "S" hooks of varying length from the tines of an old leaf rake ....a minor forging play-about using a blow torch and pliers....
Having sampled car camping properly last weekend for the first time luxury is definately calling me!
I'm now getting off thread a bit, but that's something I've been meaning to post about. When going on expeditions, usually around North and Mid Wales, I sometimes struggle to locate suitable parking within a reasonable distance of a site, say 30 mins to an hours walk as I do haul quite a bit of kit with me, about 60-70lbs. Not a problem with sites that I use regularly but when exploring new areas or sites it's about finding a balance between vehicle security, and not having a massive walk to camp. How do you chaps get around this ususally? sorry for the thread divergence, I usually just use that y-shaped stick support method of pot hanging btw.
havent tried it yet but in the yellow wilderness book he uses 2 logs with a simple branch wedge between the two simply rolling either log back or forward raises or lowers the pot simples but looks effective ill be giving it a go soon
