I picked up a 48 inch steel cauldron (manufactured to be the end of a large propane tank) from a place in Cave Spring, GA. The boys and I eased it down to the new patio this morning, had a very nice inaugural fire tonight. They normally make this size on three legs, but I had them invert a 30 inch bowl for the base - at about a third of the price the high dollar place in Tuscaloosa wanted.I've been watching fire pit prices the last few months...took my old one out after the last storm. Thought of a few ways I might build something...it's one of those spring things next year. I want stone; not the metal type.
