Chickenlittle,

Since cooking on open fires is seldom done in camping today, the bail handle is of little use. Many newer (since the 70's) campers have never used an open fire for cooking. The stove has outdated the bail handle. Even though I still use wood fires (where legal) I have, thanks to HikinJim, moved to a Caldera Cone TiTri for cooking and don't use the pots with bails often anymore.

Respectfully,

Jerry
