    Got the pit blazing. Hopefully the boys and I can roast a few marshmallows before the rain comes down, thunder in the distance now.

    Planning on doing the same thing here with my little one!

    One thing I didn’t expect but the oak is surprisingly strong. I believe the majority of what grows around here is Burr Oak. It was kiln dried but I think I would enjoy a fire more with some mixing of soft woods too. Pine would be great in this mix, more quicker a fire. Just saying since this is actually my first burning of Middle USA wood.

    We were able to get a few s’mores and marshmallows done before the rain came hammering down, no pics of the snacks, but if we do the same tomorrow we take some pics.

    056069F4-4801-4EFC-864A-22777DEF82FE.jpeg +1 for the washing machine tub on a steel rim club. Best use for that calypso washer that never got the clothes clean.

    Thanks. The 2 front corners of my yard have been a project since I had 2 giant maples taken down winter before last. That big maple stump behind the stove is getting burned this fall.
    The stove came in handy during our snowstorm in march.

    30 mins in.... There’s few things as satisfying as watching fire in slow motion-

    Cool vid!
    Are your lights actually blinking, or is that the 60 HZ showing up with the slomo?
