After picking up a Miller 215 from a tbh’r, i had just enough time to brush up my welding skills and knock out a fire pit for our first winter in the new house.
The wheel is a 24.5” steel truck wheel, and after more attempts at cutting a 26” hexagon out of angle iron than I want to admit, I got one right!
The rest was thrown together with scraps from the shop, all I had to buy was a full sheet of the expanded metal ($80) but now I’ve got enough to make 2 more pits.
After all this rain, Grayson Co. finally lifted the burn ban and we let it rip! Very pleased with the lid design, still needs some handles to make it easier to add wood, but the open bottom left very little ash and allowed for a ton of air to move and burn those wet logs.
