I bought this to use directly over an open fire during campfires. It's more than worth the price. The rubber or plastic I have will melt, so I plan to replace it with a fire-resistant tube, but I think it's fine to just use leather gloves or a fire poker to hold it. It holds firmly on both sides and at the top, so it's nice to hear a "click" sound! The lid also fits snugly with a "click" sound, so it won't fall off even if turned upside down. I used it right away during a campfire and it's a satisfying item! I think it's good to have one as a backup or for when you want to use it briefly!
