The more I see that firepit on your avatar George the more I think Im gonna have to build one.
Im in town and have an old pain in the ace neighbour so I dont think a pemanent pit would be the way to go, but one that I can move around depending on wind direction, that could be another thing...Mmmmmmm.
Thanks for the inspiration mate (now I just need the motivation)

Many years ago I saw a BBQ in a old steel wheel barrow the old chap could move it around and follow the shade in his back yard...and to stop the smoke blowing on the old girls washing... George it wont be long before I have fire pit the same as yours.

George, another project for you, I've seen brake drums made into camp ovens, fill the bottom in, a couple of ears, a plough disc with handle welded on for a lid and two strong men to lift it,  full of stew onto the fire.... feed an army.

George, I saw several of the said truck rim camp ovens at Millmerran in '06. The caterer was feeding stew to the mob, $10 a plate with a bit of damper and the queue was outta sight, an opening for a smart young lad like yourself !!  Grin

PD.Truck rims are huge,but would be a lot easier to convert to a cooking pot than a truck brake drum.(steel v cast iron.)
The company I work for scrap tons of both,now theres a thought for you,all those cooking vessels going to waste  Roll Eyes
