Finish: High-temperature powder-coated steel basin with a zinc-treated, powder-coated tripod frame.
Width: 24 inches in basin diameter; the assembled tripod measures approximately 70 inches point to point.
The Compact Cauldron That Travels with the Fire
The Dude combines a 24-inch suspended steel basin, wood-burning fire pit, and live-fire grill in the lightest Cowboy Cauldron format. Segmented tripod legs make it easier to move between the patio, campsite, and tailgate.
- 24-inch basin: 35-pound seamless plate-steel bowl
- 60-inch tripod: approximately 70 inches point to point
- Three uses: wood-burning fire pit, open-fire grill, and charcoal cooking
- Tool-free setup: tripod, chain, basin, and cooking components fit together without permanent installation
Raise or Lower the Basin Instead of Rebuilding the Fire
The single-point suspension chain lets you change the basin height beneath the tripod. That gives you another way to manage the relationship between the coals, cooking surface, and gathering area.
At 35 pounds, the basin remains manageable for transport while still providing enough room for wood fires, charcoal cooking, and smaller outdoor meals.
Wood Fire
Build the gathering fire directly in the steel basin.
Open-Fire Grill
Cook over wood and coals on the included cooking surface.
Charcoal Setup
Install the included grate and support for charcoal cooking.
Plan the Complete The Dude Footprint
Measure the tripod from leg point to leg point and allow additional room for safe clearances, seating, circulation, and access.
