A fire pit…The design of the drum (metalic w/holes) will oxygenate fire wood exceptionally well and provide radiant heat for 360 degrees…Such a portable pit would be great for camping, backyard use, etc.

I think these are a great idea and I’m sure there are many other things out there which can be used for alternative purposes once they are no longer needed for their original use, such as oil drums turned into bbq’s, vehicle parts turned into sculptures, baths turned into huge plant pots for conservation areas etc

We too use the drums for BBQ firepits ! they really are the best Firepit you’ll ever own !
They have removable legs on the bottom so they are off the ground !
We sell them now, with a grill and a Protective bag, so you can use it at home or take it with you on your travels !

I’m having a problem seeing your blog layout via the newest release of Opera. Looks fine in IE and Firefox however.
