I bought this one almost fifteen years ago at Crappy Tire, lasted two winters before the mesh rotted out. Rebuilt with heavier mesh and 1x1/8 flat bar frame. The next year the bottom fell out, I cut 4 inches off a truck rim [22.5"] and welded a piece of 1/4 plate to make the dish. A couple years later the legs and the rest of the frame started to collapse...held together with coat hangers and rust. The top cap is stainless steel, it discoloured from the heat...got me thinkin'. The Ol' lady really like the design, getting heat/light from all sides. So I headed to Metal Supermarket and bought 1/2 x 1/2 and 3/4 x 3/4 stainless steel square bar, had the 1/2" rolled into rings and I put small kink in the 3/4" for the legs...brother tig welded all together six years ago. When the mesh and dish crap out again I'll do them in stainless as well.

I'm looking for a portable fire pit, where/who makes em... Locally?
My wish list...
-Looking in that 24-32" diameter with feet. Round, Hexagonal, Square ok.. No triangles though, they scare me....
-Wont rust out/collapse after two years like the last "bought at box store" (that one was way too light a gauge of steel)
-Require some sort of mesh or otherwise grill on top...
-Weight not really a concern however as long as one person can skid er around the yard is good enough...
- Bottom should be approx 12" +- above ground
-Don't need fancy, just functional..

Anything else I should consider?

but those ones (free to the public to grab and use as they wish) are far more shiny. Shocking there are still some left!

Be a whole lot more interesting had they put better gears in that rotating bat (97st &118 ave) and installed the chromy (whitemud) balls right beside it..
