If you want something that easy to move this works great.
A mortar pan, I just use rocks under the 4 corners to keep it off the ground.

A truck tire rim makes a great camp fire. Could be had free at most truck companys but now may need to pay at least scrap value.

Be careful when using stone or porous brick as they can explode from the heat.

I always get confused; why have a fire and hide it in a pit? Should it it not be up and above where it can be seen??

Gizmo2 · 07-28-2008, 09:28 PM

That's why the fire pit ring is so nice. Lay it on the ground, surround it by your favorite stone and there you have it.

Yes that is true, but you still have the fire down below. Why not place it up high so it can be properly observed and have homage placed on it??

Too hard to cook hot dogs?

as someone said above, remember to line the fire part with firebrick unless you enjoy shards of exploding stone.

The firehill concept.

Here is one I made just for cool evenings and what not. It was CHEAP. I "picked up" the rocks from the river (free) on various fishing outings. The 4 concrete bags were $20.00. Plus the $15.00 for the case of cold beer. Total cost $35.00.
