I make a Campfire Tripod – Heating Steel Rebar with a Handheld Propane LPG Gas Burner Torch.
Because I was using 5/8 inch (16mm) Rebar I needed to use a gas burner torch to heat the steel so I could bend it. I enjoy doing blacksmithing-type jobs, it was a very peaceful DIY project, with nowhere near the amount of noise I normally make.
We do quite a bit of outdoor campfire or fireplace cooking and this tripod is a good solid addition to our outdoor kitchen gear.
All the rebar was 5/8 inch (16mm) Except the Hook which was made with 1/2 inch (13mm) Rebar. The height of the campfire tripod, when it is set up, is 43 1/2 inches (110mm).
Main tools used, were a Handheld Propane LPG Gas Burner Torch, MIG welder, angle grinder, and bench vise.

Hope you found something of use in my video or at least found it entertaining.
Always use all the correct safety gear, and use your tools safely, I am not a good role model for this.
Note: When you bend metal/rebar, you naturally weaken it. Bending it will normally cause fine cracks, and it may even break if you put enough strain on the rebar or bend it in the same place too many times. Do not rely on cold-bent steel/rebar to support a load.
