will it be landscaped to simulate a campfire out bush, Concrete in a 44 then pull it out.
make sure there are holes for your spit or fire grate poles.
They use these up at places like Sheepyards Flat in the high country
One with a fire in it, shaped like a pit...
Does that help??
like I said, a big round one
This is what I have....it does the job.
Your only limited by your imagination, what are you after?
One that's a permanent feature or something that can be moved?
If your after ideas, type fire pits into google images or click here
Jesus mate! That is one sorry looking setup!! Haha!!Quote:

For 14 years I have been "gonna" put in a proper area , but till then !Attachment 46273
The outright best fire pit is a used Cone Crusher mantle from the local quarry, they are made of solid maganese and retain heat real well.
You can crush rock for a solid 10-12 hour shift and there will still be heat the next morning. I have had to dig one out for about 5 hours mid shift and it was like being in a fernace.
I doubt it would be free though and it could weigh well over 500kg, but so worth it

Appreciate the input guys. Ben, that mantle looks the ducks guts, cheers
So one of these could fit on your ute Benny and magically appear at my place right???? *L*Quote:

ideally you would want one from around about a 200 ton per hour one as you could put it in a trailer.
I was eying off one in mackay from one that crushes over 500 t/h, couldnt get the bastard home.
Look here for inspiration :)
this one's for OD

Might be worth a look also on Ebay now and again instead of a copper insert from the old boilers our parents washed clothes in
occasionally a cast iron one pops up about 25mm thick this would hold heat for ages, Just a bigger version than the link.
I'll try and find one for you, I think they used them in butcher shops to render fats etc.
Or dig in a cast iron Bath
Great idea and it can be moved.Quote:

ive got an old hot water cylinder cut in half (cast)
approx size is hight 4 ' wide 2'
have seen this done with the big oxy /acealine bottles also
There was a guy on ebay selling plough discs very cheapQuote:

I put them 4 x upright on my potbelly flue to catch any heat
here's one from a website on FB
saw some great ones at bunnings yesterday
like big round saucers on legs
Attachment 46708 was $139.00
Attachment 46709 $was 199.00
now I like that...Quote:
