My neighbors did this with a similar sized one and it sucks as a fire pit. Too big. I’d just buy a regular one.

I am a professional Sugar Kettle restorer. Can range from $200 to $1000+. Depends on size (I'm assuming this is large). Also check the bottom, if it says made in china, it's from Big Lots and is a knock-off.

Would you prefer them to melt sugar?

You seem needy. I bet you’re single with cats.

Instead of making a thread about it, you should be making him a sandwich and asking if there is anything you can do to help convert into a fire pit.

Sounds like he's a cuck, else he'd just do it.

Don’t. He can tip it over to drain it after it rains.

If he drills holes, it’s trashed.

Yeah but he wants to drill holes in it if it turns it into a fire pit.


Tell him to built a ring with legs and just set it in it

Find an end cutoff from a smallish propane tank, like 200 gallon. Or buy an old tank and cut the end off once verifying no combustibles are inside the tank.

We use ours as a fire pit in the fall/winter

It's a mosquito disco party in the summertime.

Well there you go

Then flip them over next to each other.

Then set an upside down flowerpot on each of them







And have a set of giant robot titties

I have no preference either way. Just stating a simple observation, brother. I ain't judging you if you got one out front or out back. I promise.

Here’s a pic of my front one. It’s basically the same but with no fountain kit.

Hey neighbor

Eta - obviously joking. But my guess is like $1500 -$2000. Get a solo stove they’re better anyways.
