    Decided to have a weenie roast this evening, with the nice weather we are having.

    Bonfirestarter. 4ish splits bind them with a piece of barbed wire, soak in diesel fuel, jam a pine split in the middle for a handle.

    IMG_4733.png Lit a fire last night but it was way too hot to enjoy. And , the pressure treated scraps that were provided were less than desirable…

    Advisory against outdoor burning in the region right now. Maybe even a ban?

    We can wait.

    Just don't bonk that outer ring /rail, the welds broke loose. ;)

    I need to find/ buy a more robust fire pit. These thin steel ones only last a couple of years. Screwloose and I were talking about using an old LP tank and using an end of that tank, cutting it off and putting legs and a couple of drain holes in the bottom. That would be a nice street fire out that won't rust out in a couple of years.

    You're holding back on us. You have to bring "Dragon breath" to the next GTG.

    Stainless steel washing machine drums make nice solo like stoves. MikeInMa has one and it makes a nice fire. I use my generic bowl firepit.

    Have a fire ring exactly like that,Christmas present for GF. Pretty thin metal so put fire bricks in the bottom and keep it covered with a tarp when not in use, still in good shape after 3 years.

    This has been posted before.

    The bottom piece was salvaged at the dump. It gets the spin tub up away from the grass. Works well!
