Wood ash is great nutrition for your grass. Just spread it through the yard and you have nothing to trash. Please make sure that the ash is completely cooled of course.

I actually have this firepit. Pretty decent quality. Indeed keep it covered so the metal does not rust. The fire poker is good too.
·
In for 1. I just need the screen but this is still cheaper than all of the screens on Amazon.

I have this. I've probably used it a dozen times over 2 or 3 years. I'm planning to build a retaining wall block pit because I'm just not impressed with this style of fire pit at all. It's small. Putting standard cut firewood only allows for 2-3 pieces. I see they have a larger version for around $60. That might be a decent option, but it doesn't look much bigger.
Check out the Breeo, they have a drop in insert. It's not cheap, do it once, do it right.

I have one of their freestanding units and it's amazing. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I've been doing some cooking on it which was incredible. Finishing steaks over a hickory fire was divine.

Not leave it outside?
Not everyone has a garage. Depends on where you live. Some have no carports either.

I do have a garage fortunately so mine stays out of the elements. Bought this from HD I think a year ago. It is small so easy to store but does the job more than good enough. It's very shallow so if you have small kids or pets just be careful.

Quote from johnnyma45 :
For those who love fire pits but can't stand the smoke smell, or the irritation in the eyes, consider a smokeless fire pit like a Solo Stove or similar. Yes, it is something like 10-15x the price of a Walmart or HD fire pit, but they really do work - and it burns HOT, enough so you don't have to stand directly over the fire pit to get heat. The smoke is mostly gone and we can enjoy heat without having to throw all our clothes in the laundry after.
Can you send a link please?

I had a similar one for about a year, kept in the garage when not in use. It's not bad (the cover is pretty useless, at least mine was), but the shallow bowl limits how much of a fire you can have. If you leave it outside, it'll rust almost instantly especially the screen. Rust really doesn't do much, unless it starts inside the bowl and weakens the metal at the bottom.

I gave mine away and bought one of the kind with vertical sides for $50 on BF at Home Depot, which normally sell for $100. Much better IMO, with a lower chance of escaping sparks and more space for larger logs.

I appreciate the recommendation, but i'm not spending $800 on a fire pit insert. I'm going to spend about $100 on blocks and that's it. it really doesn't need to be anymore complicated than that.

I've had like 6 pieces on this no issues. A few on the bottom layer than a "pyramid" on top around the bottom 2 pieces.

maybe I get long pieces of firewood, but I had a pyramid going and the pieces were nearly vertical and seems in danger of falling over and off the fire pit. I let it burn down and didn't try that ever again.

notice the photo with the fire on walmart's page uses very small chunks of wood, not full pieces of firewood so you can't get an accurate idea of the size.

Newspaper or some kind of kindling is helpful. Firestarters can be too. Tongs are a nice to have for moving logs, though a poker is sufficient. If you cook sausages or marshmallows, then roasting sticks can be nice instead of using sticks.
Save your dryer lint and mix it with vaseline. Make little lint/vaseline balls and use these as your fire starter. We use fondue forks or go rustic and use sticks for marshmallows.

I put down for 16x16 tiles on my deck and on top of this I put a fire mat - but, definitely be careful..

This is the only one from Halloween night when I started the fire. I had a big one going as we were handing out candy and drinking with my cul de sac neighbors. Typical store bought firewood in this one.

This was a few weeks ago and these were slightly larger (thicker at least) and from a person selling wood who cuts down trees for a living. I had a smaller pyramid going this night. My Arlo only goes 7 days back or I'd share with you other pics form this night. If stacked properly you'll be fine.

That's a great idea. Will have to try it.

I personally also save dried out grass clippings, dried out leaves, etc as well for extra kindling.

Also great for killing slugs/grubs in the garden just sprinkle it around they will all kick the bucket!
