I didn't seem to get to enjoy our fire pit much this fall. It seems like fall fell on a Tuesday this year.
We had this fire pit installed about 8 years ago. Originally, it was plumbed with natural gas and we just made fire over lava rock (no wood burning). Since then, I have acquired 4 acres of woods which is a lifetime supply for someone like me. With higher NG prices expected this year, I converted this fire pit and my indoor fireplace to wood burners WITH log lighters. The outdoor dante valve needed replaced anyway and it just seemed like the right move. My family and myself have been completely happy with the switch.
This picture was from this past Friday night. I put on some Christmas music outside, made a fire, and put up my outdoor tree lights. What a beautiful night to be alive!

Were you done before those logs caught on fire?
A picture like this comes up regularly in the woods behind my house. I cut a fresh dead Red Oak in the morning, sectioned it into 12' sections. Then my Grandson stopped by to steer the tractor for the log pulls. As payment: Dogs on a Log by the firepit - and hot chocolate too:

Probably a cord and a half of punky wood I couldn't get to.
It was a very hot fire once I got it going.
Then I added the same amount and did it again, and again, and again...

Laid this dead Red Oak right over my fire pit. The Poplar log we use as a fire pit bench also served well as a protective roll bar for the stone pit. (And, in the process gnawed a little of the sharpness of my felling wedge off)

Not much snow there for Feb/March
I'll be expanding my firepit area this Spring, if it ever arrives.
We're still under feet of snow and -25*C here.

It is called Global Warming apparently!
it's here, complete with bugs, too!
nice bike riding weather, though... tv weatherlady says 70's from here on out...
mr Brutus continues to serve well... day, night... any month of the year... just added 1/2 cord sitx to season close to location.
thanks for your pix FK! fire is universal, yours on ice adds an international accent!
Way back in my youth, we dragged a hoddie's pan out onto a frozen pond on my parents property and built a bonfire in it and partied all night out on that pond. We drank cheap wine and beer, played music from an old car radio and had a blast doing what teenagers do, good times and better memories.
back in the mid-60's... i can remember the grocery stores carrying cheap wine.
Vino Fino it was called and was 90-cents a gallon!
Boons Farm, Annie Green springs, anything that you cold buy by the case cheap!
