Essentials Six

There are more lid lifters than I have room to show you. If you have a Birthday, or Fathers Day coming up you may want to start with what you have around, like Chanel locks or a claw hammer, and ask for a Meur  lifter. I fell they are the best because you have so much control. The lid is held tight. They come in three sizes. A small one that will fit inside a 12" oven. A medium for cooking on a table, and a long one for cooking on the ground. Camp Chef, and Lodge both make good ones. Any blacksmith can make one for you with just a hook and a cross bar. Even a branch of wood with a hook at the end will work in a pinch.
