I have a super old (1800’s probably) sugar kettle that the husband is threatening to use as a fire pit.

Is there any way to find a value of an old sugar kettle?

Sounds like a good fire pit. Why are you thwarting him?

It is worth a good bit. Tell him to go buy a firepit and not be a cheap arse.

The uppity types seem to prefer using them for some sort of fountain/water feature.

Water and oxidation are gonna do more damage to it than fire

Come to think of it, it's probably better for the actual preservation of the thing than the fountain/water feature use that so many seem to prefer.
