Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for use in cooking over an open fire. Specifically, the invention discloses a tripod having a grill suspended therefrom. The tripod includes an elongate adjustment rod with a distantly situated handle. By attaching the suspension line, holding the grill to the handle, which is slidingly affixed to one leg of the tripod, the height of the grill over the fire can be changed. This arrangement allows the grill to be adjusted over the fire to accommodate the heat of the fire or to provide a preferred cooking temperature for the articles on the grill without adjusting the grill directly or having to touch the hot surfaces near the fire.
