Do you have one?

What is it made of?

Do you like it?

I'm speaking of real fire pits. Not the chick that gave you crabs in college.

That is more my style, Jet. Have a similar one Up North. Digging a hole and surrounding it with stones (or a tractor tire) is not up to the city's expectations.

when the legs rotted off my Weber barbeque, I recycled the tub as a firepit--a portable one, so I can move it w/o having to mow around it.

I like the tractor wheel idea

Every pyro should have one! I gots mine. The real trick is to get free firewood. Those $5 bundles destroy my beer budget.

I want, I want, I want!

But I live amidst canyons and hills that my insurance company (and the local fire dept.) calls an "extremely high-risk fire zone."

Because of this, the responsible thing to do would be to get something portable, so that when the whole neighborhood goes up in flames and causes $140-million in damages, I can hide my "fire pit" in the trunk of my car, bring it to the office, and get rid of it in the dumpster out back.

We had a big maple tree cut down a couple years ago. They ground the stump out and that left a bit of a hole. I found some loose bricks laying out back in the wooded area of our lot and made a circle around the pit. The wooded area I mentioned before is no longer, after the windstorm back in September (Hurricane Ike). They became my free firewood. Now I just need a log splitter, and a stump grinder to take out the other 15 or so stumps.

we used to have a fire pit until we discovered it was directly on top of one of our "eliminator" drainfield discharge pipes.

Firepit secured...

Here is the one I put in the backyard.

4 foot concrete sewer line pipe. My brother brought a little longer piece than was needed, it sticks down in the ground three feet. It is gonna take a crane to get it out, but we like it.
