Accessible/affordable garden fire pits

Littlefatfriend

Does anyone else have/enjoy fire pits?

Mine's a truck brake drum. Lay it on its side on top of a pile of bricks 3 high. Put a motorbike brake disc across the gap and you've got a cheap, versatile fire pit that's easy to use/empty and hasn't needed maintenance in 20 years.

Cheap parts from a scrap yard, what's not to like?

My friend uses an old washing machine drum.

I like to keep it contained.

It's not too bad, he buried it partially into the ground with a few rocks round it to make it look 'pretty'.

You can lift it out to clean and it doesn't tend to spill unless it's windy out.

Groovy WheeledWeapon, that would be difficult for me.

And you thought you didn't smoke, eh? Inhaling Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) is totally uncool!

20 Regal and a sniff of your fire please mate, lol.
