    Tired of the cheap metal patio fireplaces. Just going to go with a good old fashioned fire pit. Feels more like the woods anyway.

    Looks very nice, chief!
    Could just about lay a grill across part of it for some quick burgers/dogs, no?

    If you get enough pavers, you can sit around the fire rather than mow...;)

    nice pit chief!
    Looks like Meme and Buddy are enjoying the heat:yes:

    I like it! No rust, more thermal mass.

    Dry Dennis type stuff. :rofl: :lol:.
    Really, some Pin Oak uglies, fresh split Ash and junk. Anything will burn in a pit so I don't burn anything good.
