Camp Dutch Oven Lid Lifter

The only reason that we bought this over other products was Amazon's claim that this was Made in USA. This is FALSE - it clearly is labelled Made in China. Terrible to do to people.

Description of the item is very misleading. Item is NOT made in the USA. Clearly states on the packaging that it is made in China. last time i checked C-H-I-N-A does not spell USA!! Item does what it's supposed to do but would have preferred to be a bit longer.

無骨な見た目ですが、用事はしっかりこなしてくれる良い道具です。

I bought this to lift the lids and cast iron pots out of a campfire or coals. Worked well. I like the end of it because the two short legs steady the lid when you open a pot lid. It is sturdy being made from wrought iron. It is painted black and I expect that paint to eventually fall off, but it appears to be suitable for hot conditions. I have used it twice with no chipping or paint smell. It is long enough to reach into an average sized campfire without risking burning one's hands. The ring on the end allows it to be hung up. I wouldn't take it backpacking due to the weight, but the length will fit easily into the cubby hole of an RV storage area. I am happy with my purchase.

If you do any serious camp cooking with cast iron, you know that trying to move a hot lid covered in coals with a pair of pliers or a stick is a recipe for disaster. This Lodge A5 Lid Lifter is a mandatory piece of gear for your kit. Why it’s a "Must-Have": Built Like a Tank: The 9mm bar stock is incredibly thick and rigid. I’ve used it on my heavy 12-inch and 14-inch Dutch ovens, and there is zero flex, even when the lid is loaded with hot briquettes. Stays Cool: The spiral handle is a brilliant design. It dissipates heat so well that I can comfortably use it throughout a long cook without needing a glove. Perfect Control: The T-bar design gives you a stable "hook" on the lid. It makes it easy to lift the lid straight up to check your food without dropping ash or coals into your dinner. Tough Finish: The high-temperature black finish has held up perfectly against direct heat and outdoor moisture. It hasn't shown any signs of rusting or peeling after several trips. Final Verdict: This is one of those simple, well-made tools that just works. It’s the perfect length (about 14 inches) to keep your hands away from the fire while giving you total control over your cast iron. Don't risk a burn or a ruined meal—just get the A5. It’s a small price to pay for the safety and convenience it adds to the campsite!
