I'd imagine even "low quality" stainless steel will hold up pretty well. And it has to at least have enough carbon in it to avoid rusting from all the water.

But WHOA BOYEEE it gonna get HOT!!! Not a bad thing per say, but as pictured there's nothing to prevent against an accidental leg brush. My firepit has a ring/lip around it that if you walk by you'll hit it first before the MUCH hotter body of the bowl itself. I feel like this needs something for a little protection. Even just a ring of very large rocks as a way to keep people away from walking too close.

For the first 20 + years of my live this was my families way to do any BBQ. Ours had a bigger opening, so that you could hang a gridiron above.

the pressure inside will increase and it can explode and spray hot shot all over the place

That's what she said

Took like 7 years for the last one I had to rust out. Home Depot's was shit after a month. Ymmv

Cool fall evenings with a fire going and some friends over, maybe sharing a beer (especially if home brewed), swapping stories, just staring at the fire… I didn't even consider that it might be a culture thing here.

If I had a patio I'd have a fire pit

Burning wood is theoretically carbon neutral as long as the trees are replaced or already dead

edit: or if you're asking why make fire when it's hot, the answer is that some places, sometimes, are cold

Yeah, it's so they can remain hot when the sun does down

watch fire burn = FUN

What's a crusher cone??

You’re thinking of !exciting_club@lemmy.world. That’s just along the corridor.

Actually it's really fucking hard to separate the plastic washing tub from the metal drum, then the aluminium or wht ever it is web that holds the drum to the spindle is even harder to remove. Took me 2-3 hours, however it's an awesome firepit
