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.

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.
And stuff it inside an empty toilet paper tube. You want various burn rates- cardboard/lint to get the small sticks burning, the small sticks then get the medium sticks and some bark burning, once those get going usually they can light the smaller logs. That is usually enough to get the bigger logs going provided their properly dried out.
Thanks. I went to go look for ours today and turns out we accidentally left it a friends house a few months ago. It got run over by some contractors. Picked this up as a replacement.
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 just did this. I put it in the far corner, about 10ft from the property walls, and 12 ft from the neighbor's storage shed.
Turns out, I probably need to 1) Add a gravel border 1-2 ft or just surround it with 7 ft of pavers on each side ( I have mulch now... ), and 2) I think the fire code is 15 ft from the neighbor's shed, or maybe even 25 ft. Looking up code is a pain in the butt.. I thought when I dug up the grass, put everything down, and the blocks, i'd be done and start burning..

Mine will go in the center of the yard, surrounded by grass (well, weeds mostly). I was going to put in a paver patio, but I'm going to hold off on that for now. We'll see how much we actually use this fire pit and then move forward from there.

or, just keep painting it with grill paint
We just slap a coat of high heat paint on it at the end of each season
