Looking for something in the 48 to 60” range with a rail or something similar.

I’ve done the box store stuff before and it rusted out in a year, so I’d prefer something thicker.

I'm not near you, but I found a guy who likes to weld and play with lasers to make one for not that much near me.

Flying “B” Metal, LLC out of Vancleave, MS seems to make quality stuff. They have a Facebook page.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned maintenance yet. Ash mixed with water (rain) is extremely acidic. If you're going to go metal, you have to do basic preventative maintenance. If you're not going to cover it when not in use, just build one with (ETA: fire) bricks as suggested.

I know someone who bought this exact fire pit from Buc-ees in 2019. They love it. It sits out in the elements all year round and hasn’t rusted, but it does come with a cover which they don’t use.

Do not do this! If those red bricks aren't fire bricks. Prepare to be pelted with hot projectiles. Red bricks hold moisture. So.......when they heat up, the moisture expands, and pops off.

This doesn’t meet the OP’s specs, but for those looking for something they only use a few times per year, consider repurposing one of these old galvanized steel tubs:


We drilled a few holes in the bottom, set it down on a few bricks and it does the job. We just store it in the garage when not in use. It’s given us about 5 years of use and will probably double that.

Lowest cost fire pit ever for people who don’t need a rail and prefer something temporary to store in the garage.

We have one also living in BR.

For the few times a year where it actually gets cold enough to want/enjoy a firepit, it works for us.

Stainless steel construction and the vented sides and top ring really do work for cutting down a lot of the typical firepit smoke but the fire does have to get rolling for that to work well.

Not cheap, but I'd buy again.

The house I bought has a brick one and it seems to be holding up well. Probaly just have it redone once it goes to shite.

The ones at Buccees seem to be on the thicker side but not sure how they will hold up. I’ve got a massive thick piece of pipe I use at the ranch.

Breeo. Check em out online. Installed last year. Looks great, burns a great fire, and will last a long time.
