Outside fire pit

[ShaneLogs]

What does everyone use to burn wood in the summer time or when ever outside ? I use a cement pipe that isn't to high around a hole with a metal bottom in it. It works good and i can get the fire roaring pretty good! :hmm3grin2orange:

My Firepit

I made this one:

I dropped the bottom of it 24" down into the ground, surrounded with firebrick, and installed two grates, one 8" down and another one 4" down from the top. Everything burns like a bandit that way. I should have made the patio bigger that surrounds it.

Jahsteve, Now that you have your picture loaded, just copy the url for the picture to your clipboard, then within the body of your text paste the url between bracketIMGbracket and bracket/IMGbracket where the word bracket is actually the left and right square bracket symbols from the right side of keyboard like this:

Here's our's, it's a 54" diameter tank head, with a stainless foot rail and some pipe legs.
I don't have any photos of the cantilevered grill, sorry.
You can really get this sucker roaring on a cool night.

looks like beer-30 , seein' all them fire pits. i use an old tractor rim.

I use one of those dish style ones that come with a screen cover. I think it was around $40. It works just fine. Although I need to drill a hole in the center for the water to run out.

If you’re lookin’ to make one with nothing but a shovel and loose stone…
I did mine like this so it drafts well and water drains away. I find the easiest way to clean it out is to wait for a windy day and shove my leaf blower down in it. About every 4-5 years I remove the stone in order to clean the water drain… takes maybe a couple hours.

You might want to do that. I bought one 2 years ago, kept it covered when not in use, and inside during the winter. I pulled it out the other day and the bottom of it was completely rotted away...

I put it away dry, but maybe the metal in those types of pits can't take high heat for too long...

Outdoor fireplace?

We're currently designing a concrete patio and are considering putting in a masonry fireplace complete with hearth and all. Anyone have any experience with this type of set up? Things to do or not to do?
