I bought a new steel firepit to replace the homemade concrete brick one I built last year.
This one will be SO nice!
Pics?
It's nothing fancy.
We went shopping locally with high hopes of finding something awesome and spending some cash on a more permanent solution. Found that all of the ones commercially available were built the same in the $100 to $600 dollar price range. Not based upon build quality or esthetics.
The price scale was based on added amenities or accessories included.
The pits were about the same build quality and structural stability, no matter where we shopped. Plus, they were all made in China, possibly from just a few of the same types of companies re-branded for Lowe's or Home Depot or At Home box stores.
OK, so we went to Amazon and found one we could tolerate. It was cheap and it will do fine for a couple of years, I'm sure.
It is this item, but we bought an accessory stand that bolts to the side for an additional, removable and adjustable grille surface above the fire. I will use that to heat buns, but no reason not to bring out a steak and ramp things up a bit from franks, brats, Kielbasa and buns.
The outside ring is three feet in diameter.
