Members Crescent Seven Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 How many of you guys burn wood in the backyard? I'm posting from a folding camping chair in my backyard. I made a ring out of chunks of concrete and I have nice fire going. Lots of dead branches from the tornado that trashed this area last fall. It's pretty sweet having a landlord that doesn't give a {censored} as long as the rent and water bill is paid. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BigPigPeaches Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 How many of you guys burn wood in the backyard? Wood's for pussies. Get yourself some dead hooker parts. Now THOSE are a challenge to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gremson Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I just started this year's first fire in my backyard pit. Even made some tin-foil dinners and threw 'em on the coals. Today was an awesome day to be outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MTMTEX Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 We have a great pit/patio area out back. Being here in TX I don't get to have too many fires as most of the time we are under a burn ban because it gets so dry. It would suck if I burned the neighborhood down.

Members absintheXIII Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Ren and I just happened to get a hosue with four very large boulders in the backyard. Just so happens they are in a circular shape. I have been considering making some sort of fire pit in the middle. Not sure what the bylaw about that here is though. It also just so happens that there is a rather large pile of dead tree branches in the back corner of our backyard. And no, there was no previous fire pit, these things are just coincidental.

And of course I have my offset smoker, for when I want a more productive burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrs. bleepo Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 we don't have a yard so much as a tiny square of grass, but my cousin has a super awesome yard (and giant basement jam room) so we're there fairly often. the only pictures i have so far of his fire pit are of the wildly reckless variety: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BottomHeavyKate Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I grew up with a fire pit and I will always have one. I'm having my first bon fire Saturday. It will be glorious.....if it doesn't rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lug Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I just drug two old small trailers (the kind that you haul behind a lawn tractor) out and placed them back to back and burned up two big fallen trees a couple of weeks ago. Setup lets me burn logs 10 ft long at a time. I placed a2 lawn chairs next to it incase the cops showed up for haivng a burnoff w/o a permit. "No sir, officer, sir, we're just roasting marshmellows over this here fire pit.....well, we have a LOT of marshmellows!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pamackie Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I have a minimal backyard. Any fire pit I would build would soon become a regular old fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SA Rios Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 This is a fire that a friend of mine had a few years ago. I got to see the wood pile a few weeks before, but did not have a change to go to the actual bonfire. They have it in early summer every year and it made up from fall yard waste and all the old Christmas trees from the neighborhood. (the person in the pic is about 50 feet away from the fire to give you a perspective) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
