The Fire Pit Thread

[thewoodlands]

This morning when I went to start the Rhino it didn't want to start (it was only 17.2, not that cold) so the first thing I did was check the positive and negative connections. Both posts had no buildup but the positive was loose so I tighten that up and put the trickle charger on it for an hour.

While it was on the trickle charger, I made my way to the fireplace and started a nice fire with the dead pine. After an hour on the trickle charger I used the Rhino most of the of the day hauling more dead pine over to burn, the battery seems fine but we'll see.

I used the RTV the last three hours of the day hauling more dead pine over to the reducer, once the RTV warms up, that heater will make it real toasty inside the cab but I still missed the cold breeze you get out in the open with the Rhino.

Is it diesel or gas?

The RTV is diesel and the Rhino is gas.

Great photo of old friends.
I need to plan one for some of mine one day soon.
Nostalgia is a good thing and helps us remember that life is good.

We had 1.9 this morning so I changed my plans from getting some Yellow Birch to cleaning up the edge of a bunch of trails around the house, I got rid of 8 or 9 loads of dead pine branches and some maple.

We bought our house in September and this outdoor « fire pit » was already here. Maybe next summer I can make it a bit prettier as this is quickly made with loose rocks

Made a new fire pit more of what the kids like. 14ga stainless steel that we laser cut, rolled and welded at my work.

Sawed yesterday in bitter cold and wind. Today, still cold, but very little wind, so built a fire in the pit, then hauled, split, and stacked the wood I cut yesterday. Round about mid-day:30 my dear wife brought the ingredients for a firepit doggie roast. Hard to beat hot dogs over an oak fire. Also hard to beat not actually having to go back to the house, take off coats, boots, gloves for lunch.



This picture is probably very similar to one from a prior year. I am likely wearing the same coat and hat - and my son picked up the same habits from me.

Burned up all the downed limbs from recent snow storm.

I make a jenga tower and then light it from the top. I usually use cherry and birch, its the best smell. If you make the tower with 4 or 6 logs per row, it will look like a burning building half way through.

Here's a video of the jenga tower fire in action:
