When one of my cooking buddies in this area got this cauldron, it had no lid. He made the one shown and it works very well.
He made the tripod himself, as he is also a blacksmith. The picture was taken at a new Coeur d'Alene park, where we cooked and fed visitors all day as they celebrated the opening of the park.
That cauldron holds a
lot of stew, but the full cauldron did not last us the whole day. We figured we fed about 1,000 people that day. I made about 5 pineapple upside down cakes - got sick of doing that.
