With the near 80° temps on Saturday, it was time to fire up the keyhole! Split some 1" slivers off of a round of hickory I cut this past January....that provided the awesomeness to the cheddar brats, beef franks and Angus burgers we cooked......
I see that you were cooking for more than two people. I was looking at the rocks that we built our campfire beside. I was wondering how to move them to create a Scotty Overkill keyhole firepit and then thought it was a lot of work and the rocks are big. Your meal looks great!
Thats a great looking pit Scotty! Everything is looking good, the food, the warm fire, all the chairs lined around. and to think we got snow last night.
Lookin good Scotty....I finally got my keyhole pit built last weekend. Still have to round up a grate to cook on. Neighbor was taking down some flower rings that he had built with retaining wall/landscape blocks. I traded him some uglies for his pit for the blocks to build the pit with. I'll grab some pics when I cook on the first time.
Looks good. What kind of rocks work for making a pit like this. I've seen where some of the landscape bricks will crack if they get too hot. I could go down to the river and probably find some nice rocks that would work to build one of these.
Any rocks will work fine. When they crack, go get more rocks. My fire pit has cracked rocks all around it, no prob.
I'd look for rocks that the earth gave to us. Paver stones aren't meant to take on heat. If you got some real deal fire brick like pizza ovens are made out of you would likely never have to replace them.
