Hey legends,
I’m in the market for a flat pack fire pit and would love some recommendations! I’m after something durable and portable for camping trips. Ideally, I’m looking for a fire pit that:
Packs down flat for easy storage and transport.
Comes with an ash tray.
Preferably stainless steel.
Would appreciate any recommendations you’ve used and loved, or if you’ve spotted something that fits the bill. Also open to any pros/cons you’ve found with different designs or brands.
Thanks in advance!
i have heard that stainless steel can create a carcinogen called hexavalent chromium when welded. if i make a fire pit with stainless steel, would that be unsafe? quite often i see on the marketplace fire pits created with old stainless steel tubs from washing machines, which seems to suggest it is safe, but i would rather be safe than sorry.
failing that, what would be a good material to make a fire pit from? cast iron is quite expensive and heavy, and isnt really something i can work with. there are plenty of metal drums that can be bought, but they are usually painted, and the paint will burn.
