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?

I agree with others here that an old wash machine tub is the way to go. I have used them for 25 years or more.
I always had the big ones that I put on my trailer with the desert buggy and quads. I found that after I sold all my toys plus the trailer that is was a pain to take that large tub in the motor home.
So I started looking for an alternative to having it but found that nothing worked as well that wash machine tub until........
I found this. It is a wash tub from a compact machine. The cooking grate from a Weber Smokey Joe fits perfectly.
As you can see it is smaller,13 in. across VS 17 in. on the big one and 14 inches deep VS 17 in. on the big one. It stores easily in my rear compartment. I even found a canvas bag that it fits in so it doesn't make any mess while back there.
And as you can see it still makes a helluva fire and the firewood fits just fine.
