[warrington]

I am going to have a fire pit made. Whats the perfect size fire pit, I was thinking 3 1/2 feet wide with 15 inch sides

Everything in TX is BIGGER!!!! Only firepits I have are made out of rocks

That should be good size

I like the 48" dia. Wood fits good and lots of folks can gather round. 15" tall sounds great, are you putting a toe warming ring around it, I would...

go with rock or stone no mortar, that way u can easily adjust....

great size! That is the size I have at the house. Much bigger and I would blow through too much wood. At the lease we go a little larger since there is no shortage of wood.

Good points made already, size is dependent on wood availability. I have had one for quite a while, 16 years and it has yet to give out. It is 24" pipe cap, 10" deep with a 36" toe warmer ring elevated 6" above the cap edge. It works great and will flat eat wood when it gets going.

It is plenty big enough for several people to sit around and get warm. I would love a bigger model, maybe a 48" or one of those big cauldron styles I've seen in Uvalde but I don't think I could stockpile enough wood to use it.

I have seen a model I like at Home Depot, I think it is 36" and has all the accessories with it, 2 grills and a rotisserie as well as a nice size lip. I think it is a Cattleman's Grill or something like that and sells for $200 Great design but it would need to be made of industrial material to hold up over time. If I get another one built, I would copy that model.

I have a 36" and it's a good size for about 6 people to sit around .... I also like it because we don't have to burn a half cord of wood to cook.

Smart, where did you get your pit?

I had it built here local by TBHer Passthrough.....
