firepit suggestions please

You have to have a permit for a fire pit, & the neighbours whinge about it, but nobody says a word about the highway just over there, with 100000 cars, buses, trucks & semi's a day driving to & fro, ll belching out exhaust fumes ...

Hi,
     Tas local regs prohibit incinerators but allow BBQs or a fire for warmth,  heating water or cooking.
I can see the need for stricter regs in sardine suburbs.
Cheers

G'Day All,
Hope someone can offer up a suggestion on what to do with this old copper pot.
I am thinking of using it for a home firepit and suggestions on how would be appreciated.
It is about 35cm high and od about 65cm.
I think it is ex girl guides.  it used to sit in the top of a 44 gallon drum fire to heat water for camps

A cheap option, well it cost me zilch, is to get an old water pump, pressure tank from a pump shop. My local bloke was only too keen to give me a couple, as he has to pay to dump them.
I just cut the tank at the height I wanted and bolted the inverted top to the base of the main tank. This keeps an amazing amount of heat off the ground.
I did a bit of art work on the larger tank as my wife said it was bland.
The smaller one packs away pretty well and we use it for a camp barbie, occasionally. Plate is an old plough disc.

And what about cold, foggy, still winter nights, when you go outside and can hardly breathe, due to all the neighbours with over damped, poorly burning wood fires. The tar is virtually floating around in droplets...
