The Fire Pit Thread

at the cabin up north. This is the before pic. Few hours of hard work was worth the upgrade.

Here is the finished fire pit. The cooking grate has adjustable height and swings into and out of the fire

Here's mine. It's not a pit but more like an outdoor fireplace built with large chunks of discarded concrete and fieldstone.

This one is an old steel washer tub sitting on a cast iron umbrella holder for a picnic table up through where the agitator was. Works great and it didn't cost me a dime. Looks cool at night too it kinda twinkles because of the holes in it and puts off a lot of heat when the tub gets hot.

I'll take some pics during the day.

Oh man, that's cool! drat, I scrapped an old wash machine last winter, never thought of that drum with the holes in it for a firepit. I mean snazzy!

I'm kicking myself also.

Nice night to fire up. It's still 73 out.

Yep, we sat out on the deck and visited until the cold front rolled in. And roll in it did.

It got freakishly windy here around 11 and is still blowing this morning.

Yep. Same here. The wind light switched on at about 830-9pm.

Anyone use a split rim from an 18 wheeler for a fire pit?

I knew a guy who would get aluminum rims that were bent from a truck repair shop and then pile rocks around it. worked well.

After a long stressful day, the dogs and I are enjoying the cooler temps and a nice mellow fire while in the background the Mets / Dodgers game is cranked up on the old TV.

Firepit action tonight. Bud Lights and watching the Penn St/Ohio St game. Everybody cleared outta the seats when I wanted to take a pic of 'em. You'd think the camera shy basterds are on the 10 most wanted list...lol. We be having a good time fellas, hope everyone else is tonight. Enjoy the college ball.
