Building a Fire Pit

We decided we need a place for a campfire in the back yard.

Currently, we have a truck wheel, on top of a street sign, lifted up by a chimney brick. I like the truck wheel and the chimney brick; I don't love the street sign.

So I bought a hot water tank overflow tray ($10) and a bag of Sacrete ($4) and I'm making my own piece of concrete to support the firepit.

We may lose the chimney brick as well. Maybe it's OK for it to be on the ground, instead of 18" in the air?


So far, it seems to work pretty well.
