If you do a forest service style ring, remember to have vents cut at or below the fire. Dumass gubmit ones never include the vents so everybody's fire smokes out the camp site. Dunces... Obviously they never built many fires but read 'how to' in their college books.

I'd be afraid to do that in Toyota. Might not be able to stop.

City people.

(I wondered why the holes were so small lolol That must explain why the dumasses @ USFS don't know how to make a wood fire ring that drafts. They all grew up on gas fireplaces/pits. )

It should be a pretty easy build. Refined it a bit today, and incorporated a water feature(it was originally going to have one, but I had omitted it.

The burners are basically just a 4" Square tubing base at about 35" wide, with a 51" steel plate welded to that base, with some drain holes cut in it and small hole in the middle for a 1/2" nipple that will connect to the ring, which runs down a flex hose to a key valve, to the natural gas line.

Also, not city people(unless a West Texas oilfield town counts as being a city folk). I'm just trying to incorporate what was already done and planned/built, except on a budget because holy **** this **** can get expensive really fast. And when it comes to natural gas fireplaces 51" is ****huge. That's 300k+ BTUs.

I'm excited at the thought of a Natural Gas Burner though, because low maintenance, lack of Odor, and not having to store firewood all over the place. It'll be great for parties and ****. I'll leave the wood fires for the lake house and camping.

Laying awake, my knee is hurting (big surprise) I also have an appointment at 1pm tomorrow to have two large ingrown nails that are like roots from both my big toes they are also going to give me hydrocodone (I know from several past experiences) and since I have to take that, I probably can't drive, this is going to suck.

That's because guys that buy big trucks like a Raptor are used to putting something small in tight spaces.

If I had a dollar for every curb I've jumped to avoid waiting

We were stuck in a movie theater parking lot in Houston once and I finally said **** it and drove across the grass and onto the access road while everyone else was stuck waiting in their little cars lol

I also routinely drive up on sidewalks to go around cars in the right lane in front of me that aren't turning right
