Some one was selling these on eBay a while back. Mine are home made. Easy to make actually. I have never seen them sold commercially.

Maybe I should buy some materials, make a few then sell them. Grin

I've made up more lifters than I could count David but still use and reckon multi-grips pliers are the easiest and most versatile of the lot. JMHO.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

I purchased a tent peg lifter a while ago, and it has ended up being my pot lifter.... Works a treat for a little cost

A furphy, is Australian slang for a rumour, or an erroneous or improbable story. You would never get anything but the plain honest dinky-di truth here... I promise!!!! Yup, hand on my heart, promise, true blue, uh-huh true dinks, dead set!!

Multi grips, they do it all

Don't waste a day, not while your breathing.

Is that the 2 hooked rods joined by chain?

Multies are great as they sit in the back pocket, but as most of my ovens do not have handles I needed to have a tool that could allow the movement of ovens.

As with most ideas saw what others were using and come up with my own enhancements. 4mm rod - hook - 400mm shaft - coiled handle - 400mm chain - coiled handle - 400mm shaft - hook. The coil hanle gives substance.

(will try and find a photo to do the description justice)

I also now use the hooks for lid work as well, locking the lifting by bringing the hooks in from each side (good for 18'/20' ovens where the lid plus coals could be as much as 14kg).

I made my CO hooks and chain for under $7.00

Bunnings have hanging pot hangers for a couple of bucks...

A bit of a twist in the metal

Add a bit of chain and you are done...
