For many years l have endeavoured to & have perfected the  " PDFP "    Yes Friends ,   The Per Dug Fire Pit .
 You & some of your closest friends are off camping , arranging the trip , food , grog , traveling , grog & a bottle of wine for SWOMBO . When you get there after a long drive , then set up  after a big week at work , its time to start a fire .
wouldn't it be nice to have  " Pre  delivered & installed fire pit "  ???
Yes it now can be arranged . All you have to do is send me the number of Swaggers to be sitting around said fire & friends that turned up to such a perfect Pre Dug Fire P it . l will send Via Express Swagmail  , after the rate has been approved in the form of  VB Slabs delivered & received .
 To reuse Your " PDFP "  & relocate it to the next camp site , carefully dig it up  . Then secure the PDFP to the CT as if it falls off on the track it could be hard to find as its really hard to see . PDFPs look so much like a pot hole & will swallow a Rig in 1 gulp  .
PM me with your requirements & beware of Online Scams offering 4/5 of 5/8 of SWA       :cheers:

I have just acquired a washing machine tub from a washer that was left out for cleanup - It was 5 to 7 years old cheap fisher and pykel.

I've gotten the tub out and though its yet to be used in a fire i feel that it's a very soft metal. Is this normal for washing machine tubs? I imagined the tub would be a lot more sturdy. I think i could bend it with my hands if i wanted to.

I recently bought a galvanised metal bucket from Bunnings for about $9.  Drilled some holes in sides near the bottom of the bucket and used it as a fire place.  Worked a treat.  And its small enough to pack just about anywhere.

The enamel coated steel ones don't last, you need a stainless tub.
Here's one I prepared earlier;

I had the same thing for quite a while, it worked a treat and really efficient on wood. It eventually disintegrated so now I use a cut down gas bottle that is a slightly bigger but much more sturdy version of the same thing.

Cooking with gal is poisonous. Not sure about the fumes just using it as a fire but I wouldn't use gal.

Galvanized steel is coated with zinc.  Zinc and zinc oxide are relatively volatile, and so it will release fumes easily in a fire.  These fumes, as you know, can be toxic.

I've been welding gal products on and off for years and I'm alright.  Although that could be debated. ;D
