Saw & Firewood HACK
We use it a lot for the coal bed & for smoking....Very good with apple or crab, a little goes a long way as it's strong but nothing like cherry.

Pics of one of my firepits. Hardly ever do a fire but I decided while no one was around to burn up some sienna from a new deck. Yup, with an outdoor stove I don't need that old fuel tank anymore.
Beer and pizza night tonight! Great after a nice afternoon's cutting.
Replaced the slab in front of the garage. Then moved the pieces of concrete by tipping them up onto two wheel hand cart, filling the inside of the circle with sand as the wall got higher. Our oldest son helped with the cantilevered deck and pavers.The circle idea for the concrete was from a trampoline one of the kids brought home. After many years the treated lumber for the step needs replacing. The concrete had fiber mesh, so no wire. Held up well but the surface spalled badly, and the kids were playing a lot of basket ball. Had it cored, and whatever they use for air entrapment was way off. Replaced it for cost of material. The fire pit area is gently sloped to the center and there is a couple feet of pea stone beneath the ring for drainage.

Thanks for the 'likes' and comment.
Little different view. There is a short retaining wall midway under the deck, and a concrete column support on the right side where it drops to regress windows. I like the covered entries, out of the weather, and the screened porch is enclosed with wooden screen doors. Chipmunks live in the concrete voids, which has attracted Blue Racers in the past, before the dog.

No sir, that's home brewed with some odds and ends I had laying around.

It's a piece of 3' diameter duct that I got off a job I was on. It's 1/4" wall with a bolt together flange that I left on.
I laid everything out and used pea gravel between the duct and landscape blocks as a heat sink. Seems to work well, I haven't had any failures yet...

We had a fire every day while camping and I only snapped one pic!
Our starter this evening was some cedar decking cut offs. The second course was a piece of IKEA furniture that was never assembled. For the main course we have a delightful all you can burn portion of black cherry. Friends will be over shortly and beer is on ice.
