Why are you wearing the gloves if you're using the lid lifter?

The other most useful thing I like is a lid stand, so when you have to take the lid off to stir or serve, you can put the lid down and it won't get dirty. Also, I suggest always using it in a fire ring, even when using charcoal (if your campground has one of those grills on a stand, you can do it there, too). We don't want anyone accidentally tripping over a hot oven! I have learned how to use one over the fire, with regular coals from the fire, too, which is much earthier! It's so much fun!
