World's Greatest Firepit! Stainless Steel! Cast Iron Base! 65 lbs. (It's a Blackstone 350 tub)

[blackstone]

Stainless steel tub from Blackstone model 350 washing machine, from the 1950s. Corrugated sides. Opening in base, where agitator post used to be, allows for drainage and ashes. Stainless will never rot. Cast iron base, even if buried into the ground, will outlast you. At 65 lbs., hardly likely that this will be stolen. 20" diameter; 16" high.

I just listed on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace (8/29), asking $75. If anyone here wants it, I'll give a "club discount" and sell for $50.

I am kind of proud of my sales pitch for this.

Great fire pit

Just be sure to elevate it on bricks and put a great over the hole in the middle as you need some air getting into the bottom for a good combustion, you could also punch a bunch of 1 inch holes around the perimeter through the stainless steel tub, if you want to set it directly on the ground.
