Chiminea or Firepit?

Comments

    You can go the cast iron or steal chiminea route, the clay ones are prone to cracking,
    heavy steel or cast cast iron ones wont have that problem,
    a tall chimney will minimize any smoke issues and they are obviously a lot easier to move around unlike the home made brick fire pit

    ask for an old washing machine drum at a repair shop and turn it into a fire pit. Google images have lots of great ideas for it

    You can burn fuel (and possibly only smokeless fuels if your town is a designated one), you can't burn waste.
