DIY fire pit

[Citydude]

I’m kinda partial to a fire on an elevated platform.

Ooo, I like that idea!

I like the ventilation hole design along the perimeter. I guess that's why its called a "Smokeless" fire pit?

Yes, the holes are supposed to make it smokeless. It seems that it works when the fire is really going, but starts to smoke more as it dies down.

Pjram - looks great.
I've been toying with the idea of building a "fire pit" in my suburban back yard. I've 4 large maples on the lot and they generate a lot of small limbs, plus there is all the cardboard from on-line shopping.
Sort of an upscale burn-barrel.

Holy shllt! 2-3 cords in a firepit? I burn 3 cords each winter to heat the house.

I have 50 acres, 50% is wooded. All I burn are the blow downs and I cannot keep up.

I just dug out a 20' circle, added gravel and some landscape bricks.

Looks great! Nice location. I have a pond behind my fire pit, but it is all dried up now from lack of rain.

Yeah, just joking. I have 5 acres woods and only used downed trees and also cannot keep up. But some rotting logs are actually good for the forrest….

A friend used an old steel wheel barrow as his fire pit, could move it around while burning. I called it hell on wheels.
