Fire pits are too great to be delegated soley to the camp sight! I try and get out one evening a week and ditch the electronics.

Anyone else love smelling like fire for a few days?

I built one in my yard and ran an underground gas line over it. I have the option to use it as a log lighter to burn real wood (and do), or lay in pea-gravel and use it as a decorative gas fire-pit.

When (more like "if") I open the key-valve 100%, it's over 300,000 btu/hr..... :eek:

I spent many a weekend as a lad cutting and dragging juniper into "fire pits" at my uncles ranch in Sisters there in Central OR... I loathed it then, but there is just something about that scene that makes me miss those days... and the smell of burning juniper. I will never miss the long hours of marching up and down the hay fields tossing rocks into the bucket of the tractor though. I helped create a small mountain next to each of the 70acre fields for a meesley few dollars an hour.

The wife and I built this last year after filling in our pond that we had. Used rocks from around the pond and a fire ring kit from Amazon. Buried the line in conduit, used cement backerboard for the ring to set on and ran it to a portable propane tank.

That is a never ending job out here. I am sure my son will feel the same way you do.
 
I dug a 3' wide pit and dug 2' down.

Lined the outside with cement wall bricks.

Not pretty but it works.

Covered in grass atm or I'd take a picture lol.


Maybe when we get more nice days then wet ones I get it up and running.
 
Top one looks like you have a car on fire too!

That is just the plastic sheeting I put over it to keep the slash pile dry so I could burn it later.

Almost all of my slash piles had to be burned three times and there were still stumps left over in that particular pile.

I am going to have more piles this year - maybe next - because of the new timber sale. Going to be a lot of work.

I keep threatening to make a more permanent setting for ours but then remember that I don't seem to have any friends that actually like to hang out around a good fire. :)
