Spent a day off last week making this fire pit. Just wish we would get some more rain so I could try it out without burning down the county. The boys want smores and I want a kettle of soup beans. No reason why we can't do them both.

that looks good, does the white rock do a good job of holding the heat? I have never seen one made quite like that I like it.

Not sure if it helps or not. The reason for the white rock is that I used an old tractor tire rim which measured 40." The tumbled wedges make a 46" inside circle. To avoid cutting I just backfilled with 6&7 stone. They claim that if you use it often you need a steel ring.

Looks very nice Jonboy! One tip you may want to think about that I know from experience is, I would recommend doing something to allow air into the bottom of the pit (a couple of 2" pipes trenched underneath and coming up into the pit bottom). I built a pit very similar to this and to promote good fires (ones that didn't smoke you out) I ended piping air into the bottom which improved the fires 100% and cut smoke back about 80%. YOu also end using less wood because you can the coals burn down so much further without adding any to produce flames. Don't get me wrong you'll still enjoy it just the way it is.
