finally decided on a fire pit

Weber 2726, found it on sale for $99 at a local hardware store

Was surprised it was decently priced, considering their Cheapo version of the $29 very thin 29'' kettle from Home Depot was $49.00

Need to get a big grate to go over the top, would be nice to have more cooking space when having family over.

Using it to cook with could be problematic. If all you do is put a grate on top of the screening, you'll have to build a huge fire as it's too far from the coals. You could find a way to mount the grate lower.

Yeah, I see what you are saying. Maybe it would just be useful for hotdogs and stuff like that.

It's nice to sit around, drink and, tell stories. The screening keeps wood from popping embers out.

Mmm I should get a hot dog for lunch tomorrow.

There is no screening on mine, its just 4 bars that you put the top on.

Maybe the old model had a screen? I see some reviews talking about it.

That's too bad, the screening is a nice feature.

Is that a mattress?

Hardwood pallet. Wish I had a shot of our "firepit" in Ohio when I was younger. That picture is from northern New Mexico where wildfire danger varies between powder keg and tinderbox, so fires had to be a bit smaller there.

No, it's a screen that is a heavy open mesh which goes all the way to the top.

Something like this.

Something like this.

It's a Fire Pit Replacement Screen. You can find them on ebay or any number of fireplace company sites.
