Hi All,
I have just picked up one of these after lots of umming and erring and am very impressed with the build quality etc...
What i would like to know from any of you who have used one is whether it can be used directly in the flames, on top of embers etc...
I only ask as the locking mechanism is made of plastic and I wonder how this stands up to heat/flames.
My plan is to use it for cooking on an emberlit stove (which i expect will be fine) or hanging over an open fire (which im not sure sure about).
I am also wondering if it can be used as an improvised dutch oven having the pot sitting on embers and either reversing the lid or using the removable tray/plate to place embers in to heat from the top, has anybody else tried this.
Last question, can the plastic lock mechanisms be bought separately and is their a metal alternative.
Thanks in advance, Hamster
