been a lifelong pyro, from a long genetic line of pyros. my dad broke me of having a fireplace or even wanting to touch firewood as it was our primary heat source during the cooler months. fireplaces is where we used to burn 90% of the paper/cardboard trash growing up. not having a fireplace and my wife keeping the lights on at amazon creates a hell of a pile in a week or 2. have gone through 2 “entry level” fire pits in a year. currently looking for a sho nuff barrel to start using. usually have a good fire once every 7-10 days
