You might try a couple of old truck tires for fire ring.

Get an old washer tubb out of a washing machine. Use about an 18" disc blade and a 1foot piece of 3-4" pipe or square tubing for the base.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-10-09 AT 10:50PM (MST)[p]My sister has one made out of a section of reinforced concrete pipe. It's about 2' tall and 4' diam. I've spent many evenings around the 'ol fire.

Now that I think about it, I think it's sunk in the ground a bit and sticks up about 18".

LAST EDITED ON Jun-10-09 AT 10:46PM (MST)[p]I made a pretty cool one by my house. I put a roof over it too, we use it in the winter for sledding as well, it got old having the kids mucking around in ice water and mud near the fire.

Sorry, didn't come up. Posting pics here makes me want to cry.

Get this straight in your head. That which promotes freedom is GOOD..that which takes away from freedom is BAD. Government, by its very nature, is evil...that is precisly why the founders insisted upon the citizens being armed and prepared to resist tyranny.

When I was doing a lot of construction around the house I made a fire pit big enough to burn pallets. I have never regretted making it so big but sometimes my wife does. Our house becomes the party house in the winter months and we use it for New Years and Christmas party?s every year. It has a cement bottom, 8 inch block with 4 inch decretive block over the top all the way around with the outside of the blocks and cement stuccoed. It stands about 15 inches off the ground. We have huge bon fires every year and can get a lots of people around it all at once.
