Just wanted to say, it's a nice item and as someone who grew up partly in the countryside I understand the enjoyment of a wood fire. Was a focal point of the family home for us for years.
I started looking into all this when I suffered fume and smoke exposure at work and got sick. I now have a very low tolerance for particulates and regularly have to shut all the windows in my flat due to people burning wood nearby. My sinuses block up immediately, I get headaches and a rasping cough. For anyone with asthma or other respiratory conditions domestic wood burning makes life miserable. Domestic solid fuel burning accounts for a growing proportion of urban air pollution, mainly because wood is the dirtiest fuel there is, even worse than diesel. Air pollution contributes to around 40k premature deaths a year.

Picked this up this morning off a nice old lady. My wife has wanted a fire pit for ages but I’m not willing to spend £100 on a fire pit.
So I thought this might make a decent fire pit. I’m going to clean it up and put some stove black paint on it.
