I love a fire pit for the garden, perfect for evenings as it starts to get a little bit cooler.
Thought this was a good price for a portable steel fire pit that doubles as a small bbq.

firepits are the, err, pits - you end up smelling like a bonfire with more blim holes down your front than a first year philosophy student. Get a chiminea... :smiley:

I find Chiminea's hard to sit a group around, far easier to gather around a firepit. Burn the right materials and you'll not reek like a bonfire.

We take this camping (or to beach) and use as a bbq, then straight after as a fire pit to sit around toasting marshmallows etc. It's not premium quality, but if you keep it out of the rain when you can (not always possible when camping if still hot, or unexpected rain), should last a while - we've had ours about 5 years and also use it at home as our only bbq, starting to show signs of wear, so may now replace.

What about using a bit of protective spray-paint? Might help it last a bit longer too

Thanks for the feedback - I was considering this for a fathers day gift - you're feedback helped.

couple of tyres? :smile:
fair enough - we were using kiln dried logs, there was a breeze and it was frankly unpleasant sitting around it due to getting either ash or smoke wafting over. Something I'd not experienced with my large chimmy over the years.
What type of materials do you use? Any other tips I can pass on?

Watch out they destroy the grass underneath due to the heat, they did with mine and took months to grow back. Place on hard surface only!
