Fire place grate in fire pit
Has anyone used a fireplace grate in a fire pit? Thinking about doing that so the air can better circulate up through the wood providing a better fire. Good/bad idea?

First saw the washing machine drum fire pit at a rally in Texas several years ago. It was mounted on a collapsible three-legged stand.
If using the metal firepits at a lot of campgrounds, put a rock under one or more sides to create a space between the metal and the ground. This will allow the fire to draw air. (I think someone has already suggested that)
If you are still having trouble, just find your nearest Native American and we'll gladly help our out paleface brethren. (or otherface brethren) We have lots of experience.

To bad the folks that designed/sold many of the firepits to campgrounds didn't talk to you first. Or maybe the did and weren't clear and got the design for a firepit for "sending smoke signals"!!!
The height, diameter and lack of holes for drawing air, sure don't make for a very well designed firepit.
