Why this gift works
The Rome Square Pie Iron (#1705) is a cast iron clamshell head with a 4.25 by 4.5 inch cooking cavity on 28-inch steel rods with wood handles. Buttered bread and a filling go inside - cheese, fruit preserves or pie filling - and it toasts over a campfire, fire pit or grill coals. It weighs 3.5 pounds, Rome includes recipes, and the maker gives it a 10-year warranty.
Rome calls it a family camping classic, made since the 1960s. It is exactly the kind of thing a fun uncle brings out at the fire pit - with the grown-ups handling the hot part.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A fire-pit uncle
- Camping with nieces and nephews
- Backyard evenings
Think twice if
- He has no fire pit
- He dislikes cast iron care
The catch
The cast iron needs seasoning and rusts if stored wet, it makes one sandwich at a time, it needs an open fire or coals, and the head gets very hot, so kids need close supervision.
Skip if he never has a campfire or fire pit.

What to look for in a campfire cooker
- Handle length. Longer handles keep hands away from the heat.
- Material. Cast iron holds heat for even toasting.
