The Ultimate Portable Firepit

All it Takes is a Washing Machine

This may be old news to some, but it was new news to me when I heard about this a few years ago.

Do you need a firepit? Do you want to make authentic s'mores or have the backwoods essence of smoke favoring in your hot dogs and burgers?

You need a washing machine. A dead washing machine.


It turns out that a washing machine tub is a magical device that's very adept at fire pit duties.

The porcelain finish is very durable, and very rust-resistant. The perforations in the tub make for superb air supply to the fire. Since the tub has an open top, it's easy to pour the cold ashes (make sure they're cold) into a garbage bag to pack them out with you.

This washing machine tub fire pit has been enhanced with bolt-on support legs and a grating over the top.

Happy roasting!
