I want a steel fire pit for our seasonal campsite. Does anyone know anyone that makes them.

I've found a place in Okotoks but I'd like to see what else is available.

Ps, I'm in the Calgary area (Airdrie)

Yes a guy on the site does. Can't remember his name at the moment. I think he is from Drayton.

Determine the size, shape and location of the fire pit. Take measurements (height, width and depth) to a stone yard and select the material for the project.
Palletized stone is a pallet of pre-sorted premium stone. It is more expensive but will save time because the stones are a more uniform size, shape and quality. Have the stone yard deliver the material to the project site.

[h=3]Step 2: Prepare the Base[/h]Hammer a piece of rebar directly in the center of the fire pit location. Cut a piece of string to half the length of the fire pit’s diameter. For example, if the completed fire pit is to be 5 feet wide, cut the string to 2-1/2 feet long.
Make a loop on one end of the string and slip it around the rebar. Loop the other end around a can of landscape spray paint. Mark the circumference of the circle. Excavate the area inside the paint to a depth of 6 inches.

I used 18" air tube from an old bin. It is perforated and the holes are small enough that sparks will not fly through, plus it gives off a lot more heat and light than a solid fire pit. I welded a square bottom on made out of 10 gauge. It is very light and seems to stand up to the heat very well.
