Default Small camp pit

Here's a little pit I make out of a 15 wheel rim. The grill adjusts up and down and can be swung out of the way

Looks great KenCo.

If you don't mind I will save the pics and fab one myself. Great use for horseshoes also. A friend of mine is into horses. I will ask him to get me some from his shoer (ferrier?).

Thanks for the idea.

not a problem, Moe. I sell these for $100.00 each. We also make them out of semi truck wheel rims with longer legs and 2 wheels for mobility

At $100- each, you oughta be able to hire a Mexican to fab & paint them and still turn a nice profit.
Then, you can move into designing one with an acme threaded rod for infinate heat adjustment at a slightly higher price.

No thanks, franz, like the guy said, " If ya want it done right, ya gotta do it yourself. ". Also, the grill is adjustable up and down with a sliding collar and tightening bolt
