Simple and quick fire pit from a washing machine drum

Simple and quick fire pit from a washing machine drum. It burns quite effective due to the great air supply. I made this one for thew 5 day outdoor camp in Holland next week, to prepare my food on. Legs can be unscrewed and stored inside the drum. Check my blog for more DIY and outdoor stuff: www.dabberty.com

The grinding wheel is my fav tool. Cool project - again. Cheers, chris

[@dabberty]

TheLicewine Thanks Chris

[@louiekidd251]

Yes, it's a good tool, but I want to add it is a very dangerous tool. I cut my finger down to the bone and my neighbor across the street, cut into the knuckle on the back of his hand. When you are grinding grip the grinder very tight so the grinder does not slip especially if you are grinding above your head. Be sure the grinder has a shield.

In most of these type of videos, the door is cut out completely then hinges are added. When I make these, I cut only one side, then apply the hinge, then finish cutting the rest of the door. It saves time with alignment. Glad to see you think the same way brother! Love the technique and am now a subscriber. Nothing like taking throwaways and making something useful!!!

Suresh Holla True, i wanted sideway access to refill te wood, so i would not need to lift the grill up, but in the end it burns so long and clean, refilling is not much needed.

How does the metal hold up to the heat over time? I know the stainless won't rust but will it start to warp and collapse over time from the heat?

Duke Thomas So far it didn’t warp, but it is alsno not shiny anymore. Still going strong.

[@Swerve744]

[@dabberty]

Thank you

[@aaregiel]

Great idea, before I start building one, or buy one of them, I would like to suggest a further improvement: You could add something for allowing the adjustment of the height of the grill roast or any other feature for enabling the heat regulation as heat regulation is required for excellent cooking.

[@jdsrcs8061]

All I do is throw the grill on it to warm water. If I want to grill on it I use hard wood like oak. It don't let the flames get to big. Adding some charcoal to keep the heat with out the flame also works great. One thing that I use it for is cooking with a Dutch oven. It fits perfectly into and acts as a wind break

[@beatrizvasquez3752]

me encanto todo px soy cocinera y amo el aire libre es lo mejor

[@oldman5250]

Ihad one similar to that one . i left the bolt in place. Iused a 3 foot of pipe for my stand. I also had mole scaring sound devices that you had to use a hole auger to install them. I would auger a hole 14 inches down than hammer the pipe about 4 more inches. Never had it tip over. On the 12th year of using it at state parks and it was stolen.
