Looking for a fire pit for the patio on the back porch. Anyone have any recommendations that won't break the bank?

55 gallon drum should suffice

Go to lowe's. They've got them for like 80 bucks. Don't overthink this.

Propane - so much easier to just turn the knob and have fire.

Pretty happy with this one for 200 bucks from Amazon. Just buy some different rocks.

Pretty sure it would cost more than $60 now.

Solo stove or another type of smokeless pit for the back porch. Is it covered? I run my solo stove bonfire on my covered back porch. I have it on a trash can dolly so I can move it around if its lit. I also can get it going and move it to under the porch once its tops smoking.

Put your big boy pants on and just build one. It will add value to your home rather than spending $100 bucks on some piece of Chinese garbage from a big box store.

There must be hundreds of videos on Youtube on how to do it if you don't currently possess the requisite skills. Improve yourself and your home at the same time.

I have an old tractor rim and surrounded it with old time bricks stacked to the top for a better look

Unfortunately, now if you do mimic the Haitians, it's cultural appropriation.

Upon further review, just do like the Haitians and frick the haterz:

Just find a used loader or dozer tire and light it up.

I looked at the kits they had at Lowes, but we wanted something a little bigger (TWSS). So i was able to order the metal ring then use the same brick rocks to go around it. All works great after drilling some vent holes in that ring. I use it to burn cardboard and paper when trashcans get too full. Enjoy sitting out there in the winter as well with fires and some cocktails.
